On January 17 2015 Saturday night about 6:15 pm coming from Redondo Beach stop at Sharkeez in Hermosa Beach to have Sociable Cocktail with some of my Caucasian friends, who was dressed in shorts and t-shirt with flip flops, who went in before me.....As i approach the the door man, I was told that my Los Angeles Clippers shorts were to baggie and too long with my black Polo shirt with a collar. I ask to speak to the manager Rex, who confirmed that my dress code was not of the standards of Sharkeez organization......I stated that my guest of caucasian friends had just went in with the same attire, before i could finish explaining.....2 white guys walked right pass the door man with the same attire,.... and once again i asked..... what was the difference between my attire and theres, or was it my skin complexion that was different......Not playing the race card, the manager made a moral and ethnically decision, and let me into his establishment......Once inside i took pictures of everyone that was dressed in the same attire that i was......There was an international soccer team, and many others dressed the same.......I also notice that there were no African Americans in Sharkeez, and wondering had they also ran into the same experience with the front door man and Manager Rex........ After sitting there for 10 minutes I began to wonder on this Martin Luther King Birthday weekend, had anything in America really changed. I began to question my Military Service for a Country that still tolerates this kind of RACISM......So with that being said, I hope that someday these practices will be abolished.....that's it
