Bar Owner not Allowed to Set Dress Standards for Entry to his Private Property?

Posted on January 20, 2007

We read:

“The American Civil Liberties Union is suing a bar owner over his policy of barring people who wear their hair in cornrows, dreadlocks or twists.

In a federal lawsuit, the Virginia chapter of the ACLU says the Kokoamos Island Bar, Grill and Yacht Club’s policy amounts to racial discrimination because it singles out hairstyles usually worn by black customers.

The group filed the suit Thursday in U.S. District Court against Kokoamos owner Barry Davis on behalf of Myron Evans and Kimberley Hines. Evans was denied entry in June and Hines was turned way in August, an ACLU statement said.

what is not mentioned in that quote is that at least one of the people that that ACLU is suing on behalf of is white… so to me that destroys their racism argument… no judge needed
