How can someone say that trying to get people to come together and party is a bad thing? Also for the comment about Frank Ski being too old to party, you obviously haven’t been to a Frank Ski event at any local club, he is one of the top DJ’s in the city hands down.

Is this really a big issue? I mean, is this a sticky situation that really needs to be addressed?

I always thought that people went to where they liked the music. I mean, if you like Top 40, you go to a Top 40 club. If you like Hip Hop, you go to a Hip Hop club. If you like Country, or Metal, or any genre, you go to those clubs. It’s all a matter of taste.

Now personally I don’t go clubbing anymore. I do go out and listen to live music every once in a while, but clubbing just isn’t my scene. I’m too cool for that.

But I didn’t see the racism in it. When I did go out clubbing, I saw blended races. (But then again, the last time I was clubbing was in London and LA. Maybe there is a problem here.)

I think it’s a great idea and will be a success, but only if the club caters to the mixed crowd…meaning a good mix of music. There’s nothing worse than going to a mixed party and hearing nothing but one type of music. Most clubs cater to a certain kind of person based on the atmosphere and type of music they play…so, everyone needs to be open-minded to different types of music, and the club needs to play a mix of this music to appeal to everyone.

This is well-intended but shallow attempt at social engineering.

African-Americans in Atlanta have tons of options when it comes to where they want to party. They don’t party that often with white folks because they don’t have to.

Any city with a really large African-American population experiences this same phenomenon. When it comes to going to church and clubbing, whites and blacks just like to do things differently, and that’s OK, it’s not racist!

The fact that it’s being publicly announced makes it a bigger issue then it really should be. I think I understand what is trying to be done, but I don’t think it will have any impact. In Miami, it’s all about the music, and HipHop night just means that this is the music u will hear, not “Black night” or “gangsta night”. I think that it really is time for everyone to get off this racism thing. We’re all equal beneath the surface. Hip Hop is a culture that includes music-look-style. Just cause someone is dressed HipHop doesn’t make them a gangsta poser or ghetto. Same applies for the folks dressed in jeans and polos/dockers whatever. It doesn’t make them silver spooners.

Take a minute to look around and appreciate the differnt types of people around you.

Staytrue’s comments would hold some merit but for 1 thing. He does not speak for anyone but himself. The right DJ can take any music and make it appealing to any audience. That is what the club experience is all about. I doubt seriously if Staytrue is even African-American because the majority of African-Americans do not shy away from integration. We make great and clculated efforts to integrate everything not already integrated. Call it being Negro or Aunt Jemima but it is much needed.

I’m white and live in a predominantly black apartment building in Midtown. There are numerous hip-hop artists who live there; and I have never felt uncomfortable. Rick Ross is more than happy to give a cheerful, “hey, how’s it goin” when he sees people in the halls. So does Bonecrusher. Just to name a couple of the folks I’ve met. If you are that uncomfortable being around black people, hip-hop, or whatever your hangup is, then don’t attend. It’s really that easy.

And to those who have spewed their hateful remarks on here: You are the ones with the problem. It’s people like staytrue and a few others on this blog who keep this racist crap going.

Hey, what Darryl said is true for most of the NEGRO MINDED people of color. They will focus on INTEGRATION with others because they see the VALUE IN OTHERS* rather than their own (that is why they will never have anything). Not to say that there is no good to be found in others, but haven’t ya’ll noticed how SO-CALLED Blacks are so quick to TAKE IN other people in to their community and they are left with nothing? They are quick to SPEND, SLEEP WITH, and SHARE their money, time, and resources with other folks, while their people suffer! Then, they blame THE WHITE MAN for not having anything!! I AM HISPANIC, and I HATE ANYONE who comes to a LATIN CLUB and RUIN the vibe because they are CLUELESS! I used to go to a club in Buckhead called THE CHAMBER, and the white people there complained about THE YUPPIES that ruined the vibe because they DID NOT UNDERSTAND THE CULTURE OF S&M!! So, it’s not ALL RACIAL, it is MOSTLY CULTURAL and yes, thanks to YOU WATER-DOWN NEGROES, Blacks ARE LOOSING THEIR SOUL!!

Atlanta Magazine had a great article back in October discussing how Atlanta’s social scene is still mainly segregated. Personally, I don’t think its a bad thing, and it shouldn’t be an indictment on either group. People like to socialize with people that look like them. This is why clubs usually have one dominant hue. This is also why people rarely have truly diverse parties in their homes.

It seems to me if you hate anyone who enters a Latin club then you are the one with the problem. Not them. What is it that you expect them to ‘have a clue’ about anyway? You keep saying people are clueless. Why don’t you explain how they’re clueless rather than being so hateful.

i think this particular venture be a one-shot deal because it’s not organic. it’s a radio promotion from two radio stations with heavily suburbanized audiences who stick to the mainstream.

but overall, there reason why multi-racial clubbing doesn’t happen in atlanta is because DJs at white clubs just suck (i.e.: can’t mix worth a damn, and don’t play danceable music) and DJs at black clubs are stuck in the snap music rotation.

get quality djs spinning a variety of danceable music, and the people will follow.

You’re right. “yes, you can!” So what’s your point with that statement?

No one is trying to pimp you. You’re a really sad person to try to turn it into something like that, and everyone is better off if you, and people like you, don’t attend.

And I’m not too scared to speak my mind. I’m just not ignorant like you seem to be. As a matter of fact, this is an anonymous blog so no one knows who you are. I highly doubt you would roll up in club that is predominantly non-Latino and spew that crap coming out of your mouth. It’s always easy to talk crap when you are around your like-minded buddies, isn’t it?

And the next time you’re crawling the streets for those fine @ss white girls I think you should be sure to use protection so you don’t end up burning in the morning. I am certain they are of wonderful quality to be with someone as ignorant and hateful as yourself.

I am interested to know how you view those who hate Latinos since you seem to hate everyone who isn’t. Some people are just as hateful as you are when it comes to Latinos. Thankfully, I’m not that ignorant and I feel sorry for you that you are. You are missing out on great friendships and relationships because of your closed-mindedness. But I doubt you see it that way. If you opened your mind to others who aren’t like you then you would have nothing to comlain about.

FINAL POSTING Clueless means not understanding the style of the music, how to dance to the music (salsa versus Merengue, versus hip-hop, versus reggae), and the culture behind the people that represent the music. This is A UNIVERSAL issue with all peoples who go outside of their cultural norms and try to integrate. Just plain confused about things, ya know? Who ever wants to party in a mixed atmosphere should do so without pressure! It’s a shame that I cannot find a good REGGAE or OLD SCHOOL club in this city! I also lived in NEW YORK, MIAMI, VIRGINIA (DC), and LA and I know how to vibe with different crowds.

The problem here is that we have been programmed with the “Great Divide” and there are some who can’t get past the differences in our cultures. The fact that there are ignorant people on both sides of the argument means that we still have a long way to go before things get any better. I hope the event goes off without any major issues that night. The only people making money that night will be the owners of Lotus and the DJ’s who come out and play.

Do we not know that the same rappers out there talking about the lifestyle no longer live that way and they are that way to sell their music. Most of your hardcore rappers who have made it big now live in the big houses on the hill and drive the nice cars while these kids are out here trying to be like them.

And why get so worked up if a black guy only dances with white women? Maybe he likes white women. I like all kinds of men; not just white men. And because I am white does not mean I should not talk to or dance with those men. I look for someone who is intelligent, funny, and responsible. And that comes in many shades.

It is about time that Atlanta hold an event like this. I love going out in big cities like Chicago and D.C. Both cities have clubs that are for one race or another but they also have clubs that are very diverse. Altanta has ‘white’ clubs and ‘black’ clubs. How come we can’t have more clubs that aren’t so segregated? MiamiLuv mentioned a club on Fridays that is diverse. I would love to know the name of this club

What does liking someone from a different race have to do with being insecure? And if those guys you are talking about are chasing air-headed blondes, would you want them anyway? They seem to be after something easy and stupid. You don’t think of yourself that way and I am sure you don’t come off that way; therefore, they aren’t interested. It’s not a negative that they aren’t interested in you. Take it as a positive thing that they aren’t! LOL!

Hey, I read the comments (last 25 or so), who is this guy “staytrue”? I understand his point of view totally about cornballs coming into a club and ruining the vibe (they come in all flavors). The sad thing is that you all are being duped to think that this is “for the good of the people”, by the “so-called people station”! Those clowns can’t really be serious! If you want to know how other mixed cities do the club thing, it’s because the citizens know the difference between “A Hype man like Frank-Ski” and ” A REAL D.J.”!! Frank Ski is who killed KYAH by helping turn it in to some BUBBY-Club!! Staytrue, you are hitting on the points that most folks know to be true (the lame ducks that flapp around to rhythmic muzak), just don’t follow with anger. It dillutes your argument!

I think its a wonderful oppurtunity to expose each other to diffrent cultures and music. If your one of the people in your race who does not like to venture out the box then goto the regular clubs you hang at. I don’t know if MLK was big on night clubs but his concept of Blacks and Whites working and living together was one of his main goals to achieve. So I think if we work together then why not play together. Just let that sink in before you reply. Lastly, this is another thing to think about that I learned during the 24 years on this planet. I quote ” A blackneck is dangerous as a redneck “. So stubborn, ignorant, scared people of all the races need not to show up. If your for progressive, out of the box thinking then I say I hope to see you there.

personally I don’t have a problem with race issues regarding clibs in Atl,I think if you like a certain type of music go to a club that plays that type of music.My problem with the club scene in ATl is I feel the out-of towners have ruined clubs in Atlanta. the club scene in the late 80’s & early 90’s was a lot of fun.You clibs like the phoenix,sensations,charles,markos,and the old 112. Now all of these clubs are full of long lines,overpriced admission,overpriced drinks,wanna be ballers and groupies from other cities thinking they are in a video.You ever notice whenever theres a shoot out or fight in a club in buckhead or midtown its always someone from out of town(Ray lewis for example) now the clubs close at 2 instead of 4. Now if you want to have a good time at a club,go to a club where the locals hang out;like the clubs on old national or out in Decatur.

The difference is that I am not hateful and spiteful. I’m also not bitter; as you seem to be. And it wouldn’t be “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner” at my parent’s house. They are like that and they didn’t raise me to be like that.

And what is it exactly that I would do for a black man? Tell a joke? Buy my own drink? Pay my own way at dinner?

WOW. I just moved to ATL from NC and I do feel more racism here than in NC. I am a white female and do date african american guys. And I also do frequent “black clubs” more than I do “white clubs”. However I dont let race bother me. People should be able to go wherever they want and not have to worry that they are “xxxx” and should go to this club. I am sorta confused in my direction here b/c so much nonsense has been posted in these posts.

Basically if a club wants to offer latino night, mixed night, reggae night, whatever, who cares? go if you want to go! its a great chance for someone who maybe hasnt been exposed to reggae to say “hey, let me go check this out.” i want to learn about reggae!

Racism will always be prevalent when people pull the race card. I know ATL has a lot of history, eps w/n race, and that is why I love this city. But understand that in life you learn and you grow and you move on. Yes cultures are different and if you want to preserve yours that is fine, but there are others in each cultrue that like to learn about other cultures.

Ok, I was out until reading Race Rant’s rant: the Lindburgh area of Buckhead isn’t that great. It’s filled with illegals and violence. I was riding my bike last year up there and a guy came running from the apartments on Lindburg with a gun. He had just shot someone. The Kmart that used to be there was filthy towards the end. And Buckhead would only be better if the suburbanites would stop coming into town to drink ridiculous amounts of alcohol and act like fools.

And as far as Cheshire Bridge goes: I venture into Insurections myself every now and then. Nothing wrong with that! :)

This is stupid and has nothing to do with equality. Blacks shouldn’t have to dance, sleep with, and date whites to be considered equal humans and not to be treated as sub-humans. Blacks have served, sleep with (rape), and performed for whites for over 400 years in this country and we still don’t have equality. I don’t think some el negro coon event is going to change it..

You are far from the truth. No decent black man would want some pale face when they can have an African goddess, even if she was rolling her neck and all like you’ve stated. As a black man I’ll take my black queens any day over a white woman.

Hey realtalk, most white women think that all black men want them, but as a black man i can say that is the furthest from the truth, i don’t find white women attractive at all unless they are mixed with something or have an exotic look to them like angelina jolie. All my black friends and relatives don’t even think about white women much less date them. The vast majority of black men want a fine a$$ black woman with a good head on her shoulders

Oh and as far as your decent comment, your welcome to your opinion and preference for black queens, but the general fact is that quite a few decent black men are married to many different races including white american women and the same goes for black queens.

Just get used to it Atlanta, I live in Dallas and it’s the same here. Whites go to white bars, Blacks go to black bars and Mexicans go to mexican bars. Very, very few places are integrated if any. Most places just have their own night. Let’s face it, the US has issues and I don’t think it will ever change. Most of my friends don’t look like me, and that is a conscious effort on my part to expand my experiences. But most people can’t handle that and feel very uncomfortable.

Since when aren’t there mixed clubs in Atlanta?!? The Compound (Q100) has a mixed crowd on Saturday nights, and the Velvet Room (Q100) probably will too. Nocturnal & Club Europe (both 95.5) also have mixed crowds (albeit 18+). There are also plenty of “underground,” or not so mainstream, spots that are mixed such as MJQ (musically also) and Aiko. This is an over-dramatized topic. There were black and other races of people in Vision Saturdays w/ Q100, although it’s predominately white, and there are also white & other races of people at “black”/V103 nights at Compound, although it’s predominately black. It has more to do with the music choice than race. Q100 is a Top 40 station, V103 & Hot107.9 are Urban Top 40/Hip-hop & R&B stations, 95.5 is a Top 40/Hip-hop station. If you want the best chance at a truly mixed crowd other than Sat night at Compound or now maybe Velvet Room, go to a 95.5 affiliated night somewhere.

I hope this means that the Bert Show is turning over a new leaf with this unity event. In the past, The Bert Show has attacked Usher, Bobby Brown, Michael Jackson, and Ryan Cameron. They also talked about how much they hate going to the underground and how uncomfortable they feel about hip hop clubs in Buckhead.

I like listening to the Bert Show however their extremely biased racial undertones makes me uncomfortable. The reason why I like listening to them is because they prepare me for my day as I interact with people who don’t realize that they are racially biased and they also don’t realize that 10% of their comments are racially painful. They represent American society who minorities have grown to deal with on a daily basis.

Like WAKE UP said, there are mixed places to go. I was at Halo Saturday, and it was a pretty mixed crowd. Not to mention the fact that if you go to a gay bar, you’re very likely to see a mixed crowd.

I think Q100 (Bert) and V103 (Frank) had good intentions. It’s just a shame that some people have to see this in a bad light. I think it’s more about being cynical than it is about race. That’s a shame.

And for those of you who continue to go back and forth demeaning each other, but really demaning yourself is so doggone sad I tell you! It reminds me of high school!

So what if Frank Ski benefits from this and so what if he only does events that benefit him; trust me if his action and heart are of only selfish gain, he will pay eventually. But you are no better than he is with the attitude and comments that have been displayed on this blog, none whatsoever!!!!!

What is the big problem people?!! I am a black woman that loves all kinds of music. From hip-hop, to top 40, to jazz, even house/techno, etc. I have lived in other parts of the country, & so far Atlanta is the only place that I have lived that still has a “black night” & a “white night”. Why is it so taboo for a black person to go to Eleven50 on a Sat. night to hear some house music, or what’s wrong with a white person going to 112 on a Sat. to hear hip-hop? In Chicago, NY, Miami, etc. this is not even an issue….most of the clubs are mixed anyway. My friends & I (which usually consist of 3 blacks, 2 whites, an asian, an indian & 2 puerto ricans) will go to any club we feel like here, it depends upon what mood we are in (& the crazy looks we get, we just write them off as haters). It’s not the race of the person that matters, it’s what type of person they are. The bottom line is that everyone just needs to chill!! I commend the Bert Show & Frank & Wanda for doing this…if you don’t like it, stay home complaining by yourself because you would be the party spoiler anyway.

I listened to the Frank/Burt discussion yesterday. While I applaud them for addressing the segregation in Atlanta (and it appears to me often to be by choice for both parties); and while I agree with the above poster that mentioned that there are mixed clubs in Atlanta, and the hottest clubs don’t cater to the “gangster wannabe’s” and the “scaredy suburban dorks” - those clubs are best when kept secret (I’m a Black female, this gangsta/fake baller mess is the wackest thing on earth to me) - I want to address the issue that bothers me most.

I’ve lived around the world (and partied around the world), and GA is definitely one of the most racist places around.

Burt and Frank mentioned differences on “white night” and “black night” - I disagree with some of the reasoning they came up with for the differing club treatment.

1 - why does it cost $20 to $50 to get in a club on Black night, when admission is free on white night? (Burt said white people spend more on drinks - I disagree - I think Black people are being taken advantage of - and many are foolish enough to fall for it)

2 - why are there FAKE admission lines at black clubs and not at white clubs? (there may be 5 people inside, it is 10 degrees outside, and they make people wait for up to an hour to make the club look more appealing)

3 - why does one have to pay hundreds of dollars to be SEATED on a couch (i.e. Twist) on “black night” when seating is free on other nights? (a couple of years ago, I sat on the sofa at Twist and was told there is a $200 drink minimum to sit in the VIP area - it wasn’t VIP any other night of the week - I had to stand…until I left, irritated and disgusted)

4 - why are drinks more expensive on “black night” and cost less on other nights?

5 - Why do I have to put up with ads of naked black women being handed to me (this may be nationwide)to promote “black events” and I don’t see such ads for events for other races (I blame this on my own people).

Have others run into these problems?

Needless to say, I try to stick to the more exclusive, mixed clubs (on the rare occasion that I do go to the club).

You both say it’s the 5% of blacks that are giving the rest of us a bad name. Since when did black people become monolithic? The truth by you accepting that reasoning, you have allowed the white people to justify their hate and discrimination towards you. Blacks have no problem looking at whites individually. We recognize silly, jock, hippy, white trash, elite, dumb, nerd, and all different kinds and treat them accordantly. However when it comes to whites they lump all blacks in the same group even though it’s the vast minority that act like that and are criminals. So f-it, it’s just a continuous excuse whites use to justify segregation and racism against blacks…and your dumb ass bought into it.

To aa and hotlanta: Ladies, ladies! As much as you seem to fixate on black men dating white women, you never seem to devote the same level of attention to the brothers who get themselves locked up or on a coroner’s table somewhere. Where’s the anger towards them? They contribute to the small number of eligible black men that you seek as well. As for other people can never understand us, that’s a cop out answer. Whenever ignorance can’t be explained bring out this lame excuse. That’s exactly why things will never change. As long as we continue to say they’ll never understand, you’re right! They’ll never understand.

To Hotlanta: Creeps, weirdos, psychos and the like exist in all races! It doesn’t matter where you go. You can run into a black psycho just as easily as a white psycho.

To Archie Bunker: I sincerely hope that you are kidding! I don’t care for that type of crowd myself. Yet I feel the disparaging and quite racist word coon could have been spared from your post. You have much to learn in terms of tolerance for others.

To Robin: Why do you hate me? You’ve never even met me, so what could I have done? Help me understand. Why do you want to call me the N word? Try talking to someone like me and maybe you wouldn’t be so quick to use the word. Then again maybe you won’t.

To real talk: You don’t have to do anything. If you’re that opposed to being around white people, don’t be around them. Do what makes you comfortable and happy.

Take that up with those white people who discriminate against black people. As for OJ, their response was a direct response to the acquittal of LA police officers for the beating of Rodney King. I bet you thought that the officers’ beating was justified, huh? Didn’t see anything wrong with beating a defenseless black man, huh? Condemning an entire group of people for the acts of a few is ignorant. As for owing me or ‘my kind’ as you so ignorantly put it, ‘your kind’ has benefited from the advantages that your ancestors gave you. You’re absolutely right.

Let me give you an example of why I’m so “angry”. The other day, I was sideswiped by an SUV with 2 black guys in it. We pulled over at a place where there was no one really at. My cell was dead, he gets out, I ask him to call the police. Standing right there in front of me with a cell phone IN HIS hand, he says, “I don’t got no phone, if you want to call the police, you can go across the street to the payphone and do it yourself.” Well, I did and when I got back, he starts yelling at me that if the police arent’ there in 5 minutes, he’s LEAVING! WHat a freaking jerk, and very typical of my every day interaction with blacks. Needless to say, the officer got there before he left, and even though he ranted and raved, HE got a ticket. I was worried, though that the police officer would be “scared” of the “d” word (discrimiation) and give me the ticket even though I DID NOTHING WRONG. That’s just one thing on a very LONG list. I can keep going all day….

Were you paying attention during Hurricane Katrina? Or was your head so far up your ass, you couldn’t see daylight? Did you see all of the black people abandoned in the city of New Orleans? Those are the disadvantaged I’m referring to, who reside in every city across this country. Since the President loves to refer to all of the people as Americans, I thought the citizens of our country shoudl care about the well-being of all Americans. I guess not. You are proving me wrong, I guess. I guess Bush is only referring to white Americans. That’s a damn shame. Whenever you need troops or have a problem, then we’re supposed to come running to help, but any other time, you make comments and act like this towards us. Make up your mind, Robin! You can’t have it both ways. Kissing a* is a significant improvement from before when the government stood by and did nothing when we were being lynched and Jim Crow laws prevented us from having access to the same things you take for granted. The benefits you have are all around you. Many of the colleges and universities didn’t admit black people until the late 1950s and early 1960s. Many of these schools started in the 1800s, so how many generations of white people is that Robin who have a college degree? How many black generations is that who had no chance for a better life? Yes, other black people sold us into slavery. But your ancestors didn’t have to go along with it. They saw nothing wrong with it. Two wrongs don’t make a right. Ever heard that expression? Kissing black a* for nothing? Slavery, Jim Crow, Brown vs. Board of Education, Tuskgee Experiment, shall I continue? Please, Robin, look these events up and you may get insight into why the government is apologizing. Your arguments speak volumes about the abysmal state of the American education system. You’re espousing the beliefs that I have feared that the white American youth are being taught in History class. History classes have significantly diminished the contributions that blacks have made to this country. (Benjamin Banneker, Louis Lattimore, Crispus Attucks, and etc.) Therefore, you think blacks have done nothing. There also not being educated on the atrocities of America, such as the events I listed above. Black people do more than just complain. I pray that you are an open-minded enough individual to at least look up some of the people and events that I have listed here. May I suggest Wikipedia.org. It’s an excellent online encyclopedia.

You’re right about whites not having to “go along with it”, but why aren’t you mad at your own ancestors for selling their own? It’s all the white mans fault. None of what you speak of is going on anymore, why KEEP bringing it up? It’s over and it did not and DOES NOT involve you today. You don’t know what kind of atrocities my ancestors may have suffered and probably don’t care. Look at the Jews, I don’t see blacks taking up their cause, in fact, I don’t even see the Jews CONSTANTLY whining about the Holocaust. And yes, I totally sympathize with Holocaust victims and it makes it easier for me to sympathize with them because they are constantly throwing it in my face! Oh, and I wondered how long it would take to bring up Katrina. HA!! Give me a break! If New Orleans was infested with whites, instead of blacks and this happened to whites, you wouldn’t give a rats a**!!

Robin- do you really fail to grasp the impact that 400 years of slavery has had on black people? Do you fail to understand the retardation of growth that these past events have had on the black community? As for Jewish people, Jim Crow laws weren’t passed in this country to prevent them from enjoying the same rights as white people. Road blocks weren’t thrown up in their face. That’s why they’re not complaining. Blacks are trying to catch up after the discrimination laws passed by some of your fellow Americans. Once again, you’re showing your lack of knowledge of simple American history. As for whites being stranded in New Orleans, I would care. I care about all Americans, not just black Americans. I’m not a bigot like yourself. I can also tell that you have poor reading comprehension skills as well. Did you not read the part where I said the President refers to all Americans when he’s speaking? As for Jews, they don’t have a cause. I’m sorry that the Holocaust happened to them. What I would have loved to see is you and your friends be willing to go out of your way to help blacks like you did Jewish people. Instead you created laws to keep blacks beneath you to demonstrate your supposed dominance over us. Thank you very much.

99% of the time, you had a bad experience. From the way you talk, you sound like you don’t come across enough black people to see that there are good black people. You have chosen to take a handful of incidents and used that to justify your ignorance and your hatred. One day, you will have your eyes opened for you. My other question- where are you meeting these black people that treated you like crap? Maybe it has something to do with your judge of character skills. I’ve been called the ‘n’ word before by a white guy. But that didn’t make me lump all white people as racists. I judge people on a case by case basis. I’ve met nice white people and I’ve met bad white people, just as I’ve met good black people and bad black people. I don’t think that you’re a bad person.

Robin you are a sorely misguided individual. when you hate and spew that hate it shows exactly how ignorant you are, and it doesn’t hurt anyone but you, because everyday your dislike for “blacks” and whomever consumes your being and eats and festers until you make sweeping generalizations about people you know absolutely nothing about. I live and let live. Everyone doesn’t have to fit into some mold that you or anyone decides is the “white” way to act. When you saw those “blacks” pump their fist in jubliee for O.J. know that that had very little to do with O.J the man but, for the countless number of injustices that have plague this country before and that continues to the present. To be very honest those pumped fists didn’t “even the score” but it just felt good, and now you can feel just on a small scale of what we feel on daily basis directly or indirectly, consciously or unconsciously. By the way don’t EVER think in your lifetime or mine’s that “blacks” or any other minority in this country has more advantages than you. We’re trying to “catch up”. You have benefited always KNOW that. Take the advice of King Jec IV and do your research. STOP THE HATE.

As for the New Orleans thing, I don’t agree that it had anything at all to do with those people being black, sorry, I just don’t. You people will take any situation and twist it into a conspiracy against you. EVERYTHING that happens to you, well, it’s because you’re black, right?? Bad credit? It’s because a white man forced you to not pay your bills on time. Poor education? Well, your white teacher ignored you, right? No matter the situation, it ALWAYS gets twisted in that direction. You have failed to show me how I am more priviliged than you and how you are still being “held back” by the white man. Please, I’m dying to know. And don’t throw up slavery in my face, because YOU never went thru it. That is over and done with and has nothing to do with the present. You aren’t segregated in any way, you’re free to go wherever you wish, so what are you b*** about? Just be thankful that you WERE born when you were.

Its people like Robin and Jim Crow that make me so ashamed to be white.

Let me explain to you how slavery effects black people today:

Their grandparents and great grandparents were likely enslaved or were recovering from it and, as a result, were victims of EXTREME poverty. As a result, they were raised by people that did not have the same benefits that most white people did. There is certainly an impact and its easily visible here in Atlanta if you take a drive through the southside. Take a moment to speak to one of the 90 year old african american women who can tell you about their parents and can tell you about the children they’ve raised. Let them walk you through the house they and their family has lived in for 75 years. Same in New Orleans. Those homes were passed down from generation to generation.

In short, the climb to success for victims of poverty (despite race actually) is more difficult than my climb was. However, most african americans (and honestly, why aren’t we saying black americans?!) ARE victims of poverty because the discrimination against them was really only one generation ago.

And as for education being the same no matter what public school it is - pardon me while I laugh out loud. Schools are funded based on the taxes in the local community. For poor neighborhoods, there is less money for important things like books, computers etc. For more wealthy neighborhoods, there is plenty of money for these things. In addition, the parents are better versed at “working the system” and sue for additional benefits for their “disabled” students to have access to laptops etc.

To my fellow americans of another race - I am SO SORRY for people like Robin, Archie Bunker etc. As a white person, I have had other white persons says crazy racist things to me and I have been shocked and ashamed. When they say things like “I hear there are a lot of black people/n*ers there”, I try to respond respectfully by saying something like “yes, there is a lot of diversity in that part of the city and its rich with history”. They’re idiots. I know it and you know it.

I applaud you for trying to educate those that stick to their narrow minded opinions without regard to another persons’s plight. Yeah, OJ did it and yeah, the response to Katrina would have been different if it was all wealthy white people (in fact, I used to remark that New Orleans had the three type of people that the Bush administration dislike the most: blacks, poor people and the French!)

What I love most about Atlanta is the pride I see in most of the black community. I love seeing meeting and working with people that went to Morehouse and Clark Atlanta University and seeing how they ALWAYS give back to their community. I love that with the fraternities and sororities - you are a member for life. I love watching stepping shows and the sense of unity that is created when a large group work together to make an artistic statement.

I know I preach to the choir when I say that to be strong and to overcome, you must forgive those that judge you. For those of you who have spoken so well to those narrow minded persons on this board - I appreciate you a great deal. For the rest - may you find peace and love within yourselves first so that you can finally find empathy in the plight of someone different from you.

To Robin: I don’t have bad credit. This is your biggest problem. You are basing all of your beliefs about black people on stereotypes. I have a college education. Thank you very much! Everything that happens to me isn’t someone else’s fault. You’re so determined to hate that you aren’t even willing to accept the possibility that maybe some white people are racist and biased against blacks. Next, you fail to understand the negative and long-lasting impact of slavery, Jim Crow and every other road block that the supposedly non-existent white conspiracy has placed in the path of blacks to prevent them from reaching the success that you have. The growth of blacks in this country has been stunted by the acts of racist white people, the ones that you claim don’t exist.
It’s apparent to me that you’re so determined to hate a group of people that nothing I will say would give you pause to think about anything. I pray to God that you will open your eyes and see for yourself. More importantly, you need to take a long and hard look in the mirror. You’re making my argument for me with your hateful words and misplaced anger. Can I really go wherever I want? I don’t think so. You specifically said that you party with your and I party with mine.

I think its a good idea, but ultimately it’s to gain publicity for the two radio stations involved. That being said, I agree that there is still a kind of “self-imposed” segregation in Atlanta when it comes to the nightlife. There are a variety of reasons for this including taste and ignorance. You take your avg. person from one race and try to put them in a setting with a majority from another race, and that avg. person will feel uncomfortable and probably not want to go back to that place. We all have an internal desire to be with people of our own kind. Also, for someone who enjoys country (any race) you’ll probably go to a country bar and be around a bunch of white folks. Thats just the way it is. Same for hip hop techno r&b. And if your not white some jerk will probably say something. If I had a dollar for everytime I’ve had something ignorant said to me at a hiphop club by some jerk who didn’t like that I was talking to a black woman I’d be rich. I still go though. Its all just a matter of taste. We (races) are all different and should be proud of those differences. Where people get into trouble is when they judge, degrade, and form neg. sterotypes from these differences. As someone pointed out earlier all races have jerks, but who are we to judge an entire race b/c of a few. I would hate for an asian to come into contact with a redneck country bumpkin rascist and judge all whites by that one interaction.

This country provides equal opportunitiy for us all to get a higher education, if you don’t choose to do so, it’s your own fault & laziness that’s the reason, not because your Great,Great Grandfather was a slave. Your mentality is ignorant. Now for you, King JEC IV, yes you ARE free to go wherever you want, just becaue you aren’t WELCOME, doesn’t mean you CAN’T go. There is a BIG difference.

THANK YOU ROBIN FOR MAKING THINGS SO CRYSTAL CLEAR FOR US ALL TO SEE.

You and your type will never change and do not desire to. You are soaked to your core in hatred for those who are not like you. You have a level of ignorance and class that is far beneath the lowest of those you so hate. You see, the TRUTH of the matter is we black people have and continue to expend great amounts of energy reaching out to YOU, only to receive REJECTION based off of your silly little stereotypes. As if, all white people are perfect and do not have problems of their own. In my experience, most black people (regardless of what they look like or where they are from) typically have no real problem with white people. However, many white people still choose to harbor the feelings that they do toward blacks, which in turn invokes a reactive response in blacks. But you see Robin, your skull is too thick to reason through that process, nor do you care to. You would rather continue to stew in your ignorance and paranoia than to choose to be a DIFFERENCE MAKER.

It’s so ironic how those who try to speak from a position of superiority are the ones who tend to have to most severe character flaws. Yes Robin, this is a black male speaking to you; the thugged out, oversexed, unmotivated, shiftless and criminally minded one. And to think I spent 15 years in the military defending your sorry @-s-s right to be as hateful as you are. But that’s one of the sick little things that we black men do. We continually lay down our lives for a country where a large portion of the “majority” gives not a S—- about us, let’s not pretend. But you know something? Even after all that I said, and (yes it does anger me so feel free to insert your “angry black man” comment [here]), I know that ultimately you Robin are constantly strangled by your anger and ignorance. And I continue to strive and thrive IN SPITE OF all that you do to try to undermine my existence. All that you do only makes me stronger, wiser and more resourceful. And someday, you and your posterity will have no choice but to contend with. And really, you already are; the TRUE source of your anger.

I have a serious question that’s been bothering me. Going back to the whole OJ Simpson thing, some of you said the response by blacks to the OJ verdict was because of the Rodney King thing. Well, how can you seriously compare the beating of Rodney King (as bad as it was, and yes, I agree it was wrong, BUT, he wasn’t SAVAGELY MURDERED). How can some of you compare the two incidents? One man gets beat up, while 2 people are nearly decapitated? I understand frustration on your part over the King thing, but to condone 2 brutal murders, well how will God feel about you “pumping your fists” at that verdict, knowing he did it?????

The difference is…I’m not “pumping my fist” over lynchings! Blacks were overjoyed when OJ was acquitted. I don’t think the majority of whites (even ones like me) are HAPPY about the way blacks were treated back then. Just about the only blacks I can tolerate are OLD ones. It’s this younger generation that has the attitude. I had an old black neighbor where I used to live a few years back, and he was the best neighbor I could ask for, but you know what? He kept to himself, watched out for our house, and never had that “you owe me” mentality. If I closed my eyes, I’d swear he was white? Why? Probably because he was mature enough to realize, all that sh** is OVER, and he has a good life, so why complain about something that doesn’t exist anymore?

If ATL’s nightlife ever wants to compete with the major cities of LA & NY, or hot spots like Miami and Vegas, there has to be some more spots that offer a diverse, mixed crowd. Spots like Compound and MJQ offer that environment, we need more places like that. Growing up in Decatur (predominantly black), and then going to a predominantly white university, I seen both extremes. People who are open minded, like myself, can adjust with no problem. Oh yeah, Frank Ski is too damn old to be partying. Im 23, and he old enough to be my father, not a good look!

To Robin: Oprah Winfrey has had to cater her show to the white audience to reach that success level. Have you ever wondered why she tends to avoid talking about black issues? She’s had to give a bit of herself away to reach that level. That’s because she’s catering her show just for you, Robin. As for your old black neighbor argument, basically you’re stating if I act like a white person you’ll accept me. Is that right? Walk like you, talk like you and act exactly like you. That will make me okay, huh? Just don’t talk to you and keep to myself. Sounds like segregation to me, Robin. No interaction at all. That’s why you think the things you think now. You don’t have anyone to counteract your false notions. As for not having a problem with whites, I treat everyone on a case by case basis. You should try it some time. It’ll do wonders for your outlook on different people. I don’t hate you. I’m not expecting nor do I desire for white people to kiss my ass. The only thing I’ve ever asked for from anybody is to treat me as you would like to be treated. If you have a problem with that philosophy, you have a big problem. I hope that you will understand that, Robin. I give everyone a fair shake. It’s apparent to me that you’re not willing to believe that there are people in this world like me. That’s a shame.
Next, I didn’t pump my fist over OJ’s accquital. I think he did it. I’m not an OJ Simpson fan. I’m as big a fan of justice as you are. I can’t believe that he got off. As for Rodney King, he was nearly beaten to death. This wasn’t a schoolyard fight. They beat him with night sticks! What that showed me was that they didn’t value his life the same as one of their white brethren. As for the education system, you’re correct. Education isn’t as valued in some parts of the black community. However, that label doesn’t aptly apply to all black people. I’m a college educated black male. I’m not a thug. I have no desire to live the street life.
As for black men’s every thought being sex, that’s not the case, my friend. In this entire dialogue with you, I haven’t mentioned sex once until you brought it up. As for your fellow white women, many times I’ve been approached by them. I didn’t chase them down. I will ask you politely not to refer to black women as ashy. I will not ask you again. Don’t talk about my mother, or my grandmothers! Thank you.

None of you are as intelligent or as wealthy as I am, so you all just simmer in your own jealousy of me.

I am better than any of you, and there is nothing any of you can do to change that.

For the record - I only pump my fist in the shower, as I am so attractive I cannot help it.

I can have any lady I desire, so it is no loss if Robin prefers women to the glory of my magnificence.

Nothing is beyond my ablity to purchase, and I can afford to fly anywhere in the world I choose whenever I feel like it. As far as airlines go, I afford MUCH better than Delta.

All of you are so small minded on here, that I don’t know why I bother trying to educate any of you.

I appreciate the fact that the radio stations are trying to do something, but I don’t think it is going to change the world, or even the city. I agree with some other posters who state that blacks and whites like to party and go to church differently. That is ok. However, I do feel that if people are always saying blacks don’t like whites, or whites don’t like blacks, then that is the way it is always going to be. I think we have to start at home teaching our children that people are equal. If we are always dwelling on the mistakes of our past, then it just keeps wounds sore. I do think it is up to the people of my generation to teach our children better, and to not stay in the same mindset as our parents. Maybe the party will help get something going. I do hate the way that Bert from the Bert show always seems to toot his own horn. He always makes it sound like he is the first to do everything. He keeps talking about how bad it is for blacks in Atlanta. He is not black, yet he tries to act like he is the only white person in Atlanta who can stand to be in the same room with a black person. He makes it seem like he is just doing this to stir things up and to get praise. To him it is a ratings bit. “Show me the money.” “ I love black people!”

To King JEC IV—you posted “I fear that I’ll be shot by some paralyzed with irrational fear white person who thinks I’m a ‘thug’. What’s the over/under for that happening?”

The answer in zero, nada, nilch. Not gonna happen. When was the last time a fearful white person assaulted a real or perceived black thug? Bernie Goetz in the ’70s maybe?

And just for the record, I don’t think that all black people are thugs. But there are ALWAYS thugs in any large group—white or black—and the black thugs are very often armed. Just look at every hip-hop music awards show ever presented. The headline the next day is ALWAYS about how violence broke out and shots were fired.

The postings here on this subject are completely ridiculous.

I’m a 43-year-old white male. I’ve been working professionally in the software industry for 20+ years, and in that time I’ve worked with people of every sex, race, religion, ethnic/cultural background, nationality and/or sexual orientation, and every single combination of all of the above characteristics.

And you know what I’ve found out? There are nice, cool, smart, funny, intelligent people from every single group. There are also rude, ugly, hateful, racist, negative and downright stupid people from every single one of those groups too.

Get over yourselves, people. What you DO in life and how you ACT TOWARDS and TREAT others defines WHO YOU ARE. Period. Case closed, end of story. What you write on a message board like this means absolutely nothing, defines nothing, solves nothing. Go out in the world and walk your walk to make your statements. All this posturing, name-calling, race-generalization garbage is a waste of time and energy.

And BTW the original subject of this thread, the “Unity Night” put on by these radio station, is a profit-based endeavour for some (stations, club) and an ego podium for others. Don’t be fooled into believing otherwise. I had the misfortune of flipping past the Bert Show on the radio this morning and if Weiss didn’t break his arm patting himself on the back for this brilliant world-changing, ground-breaking, every-station-in-the-country-is-going-to-copy-this maneuver, I don’t know how…it all just makes me sick.

Well people.. I just wanted to come back out here and post a comment, especially considering the coverage of this event or FAILURE thereof in today’s AJC. If you refer back to my post of a few days ago to our beloved Robin you will see my point clearly validated. Guess who extended the proverbial “olive branch” only to be yet once again SHUNNED by the white community??? Every excuse will be made to justify the response, but it’s okay.

This is why it is evermore important for black people to wake up and fully embrace self sufficiency and UNIFY ITSELF. I am smart enough to know that it is not like this everywhere, but it is truly sad for it to be like this ANYWHERE. A great many people don’t desire change, that’s just the way it is. But you know what?.. make it THEIR problem and not yours.

You are NOT Jesus, but you sure like to talk about yourself like you are.

FYI: Genuinely intelligent people do not HAVE TO tell everyone else how smart they are. Jim Crow, however, has to tell the rest of us about his ‘intellect’ in just about every single one of his posts.

We wish to apologize to all other races for Jim Crow’s bragging. He does NOT speak for the rest of our community.

Elevating yourself above everyone else is hardly the best way to promote fellowship and unity across cultural barriers.

Ok so if this was supposed to be a “Unity Mixer” how come this party was 90% black & 10% white? I guess white people are afraid to party with black people. No one got robbed, no one got shot, no one’s car got broken into. Guess Bert Weiss did prove his point, black ppl are more open to being around white ppl, than whites are about being around black ppl. It was not a failure, it was just white ppl were scared to show up because of dumb stereotypes about black ppl. So sad!!!

All I ever spoke to was people seeing beyond all the madness, but YOU like the other ignorant fools are just as bad if not worse. Why don’t you just go ahead and do a “coon” dance or something. I’m only speaking the truth about things. And I know it HURTS doesn’t it?? Who’s elevating oneself? Is reaching out to someone in a genuine gesture “elevating oneself”?? Is wanting people to get along “elevating oneself”? Is stating and honest observation “elevating oneself”?? I think you need to assess you personal level of self esteem rather than attack mine.

I realize I am a tough pill for YOU to swallow. You’d rather I be a THUG with my pants hanging off my @ss and cornrows and a blunt in my mouth, so you can feel better about yourself and better deal with me by talking downward.

I realize I am a tough pill for YOU to swallow. However, I was sent to this planet to be a beacon of peace and hope for those who are wandering like lost sheep.

Boy are white people ANGRY! So pitiful. Maybe it’s time you meet someone black who is willing to have a sincere and intellectual conversation with you and show you something different.

As if it weren’t already obvious, none of you, regardless of color, are as sophisticated, intelligent, articulate, wealthy, polished, cultured or successful as me. NONE of you little people can ever hope to aspire to the summit of greatness on which I reside, especially when you cling to you lifelong stereotypes that make you want to put me beneath you. How hilarious!

You will never see beyond your rage. I can be a well accomplished, intelligent decent human being but you only see me as a “coon”. So why in the h-ell should I try to coexist peacefully and RESPECTFULLY with you? Why is the attempt to educate ANY of your simple minds even worth my time?

Still, each of you wallows in jealousy becasue you will NEVER be as good, refined, reflective or desirable as me.

Amusingly, it is the pool of your own ignorance in which you drown that forces you to maintain your status quo and keeps you so far below my level.

I have no need to “elevate myself” as I have been so falsely accused by some of the jealous & uninformed, as I am already far above the rest of the ignorant fools on this blog.

I think you need to assess you personal level of self esteem rather than attack mine. As I am without flaw, you should redirect your attention to bettering yourselves in order to potentially one day be even remotely in the same league as me. Good luck with that endeavor!

I am the way of peace and love, the word of truth and a beacon of light unto the rest of you misguided souls. My light cuts through the madness of this world and opens the eyes of those blinded by their ignorance. The truth I wield is apparently too hard for many of you to digest and the actuality of your reality of which I make you award causes you to be ill and resentful of my tender mercy.

This black male is as clean cut as they come, articulate, successful and VERY happy and satisfied with the beautiful black woman in his life. I was only trying to be diplomat of peace, love and goodness to Robin, but she is obviously so overcome with desire for my charm, intelligence and masculinity that she feels guilty and wants to push me away. With all the other ladies so enamoured with me, Robin is not even an afterthought for me. Nonetheless, I will pray for her and misguided life of confusion.

Some of you may say I am bragging, but is it bragging if you truly ARE better than all the rest? I say it is not, especially when the more simple among you NEED me to point out my obvious greatness to you.

You pathetic, little people have to try to pull me down off the pinnacle of glorious success to which I have ascended ALL BY MYSELF with no assistance of any kind from anyone else. You all fear an anti-stereotype like me don’t you?

I find your hatred of an enormous success of a man like me so amusing, yet pitiful. If I were not so cerebral and confident my own success, I might be vulnerable to the persecution of these bloggers. Fortunately, I am impervious to you “have nots.” Enjoy your miserable lives

Fortunately, I have it within the goodness of my own heart to forgive those who resent me and my enormous success in life.

I will pray for the rest of you as you all obviously need it.

HATERS! All of you!
