Mothers, have you installed your Republican Iphone Ap yet ?
For Sunday – we try a lil something different today,

hope you enjoyed it – as I’m sure there’s much more due soon.
Paris – Don’t Stop the Movement
this is the beginning of a post that has literally nothing to do with this video but the republican attitudes in this story make the tie in. it’s amazing how we think so little of ourselves, and when others measure us against our actions we want to clam up, and pretend nothing really happened. how can that happen in this day of media openness, and citizen journalism.
it’s basically due to the citizen journalists cum bloggers; that we know about any of these things, sadly. how can we say that our media is working for us, when in essence it creates a huge black-space where information on current events should logically go. there is no way that our media missed this. so was it on the news in your town ? neither this, nor the story about the racist Louisiana preacher reached the hallowed desks of the mid-western newscasters unfortunantly.
if it weren’t for Internet and Cable TV no one would get any information on anything relevant and outside of the sanctioned gap. that’s the Republican IPhone video tie in. those “aps” are to keep you away from reality. do yourself a favor and put your hands on the information. that way you can dismiss the fear mongering, lies and outright swindle going on in this Faux News Media Circus in America today.

Chicago Hot Spot – Mother’s Bar Racist? Club Accused Of Denying Entry To African-Americans
Huffington Post | Tim Taliaferro
A popular Chicago bar is facing allegations that it denied entry to black patrons on account of their race.
Six black students at Washington University in St. Louis claim that bouncers at the Original Mother’s bar on Division Street refused to let them in Saturday night because their pants were too baggy, even though similarly dressed white people were admitted.
The six black men reportedly offered to change their clothes, but still were not allowed in. They were part of a group of nearly 200 classmates in town for a senior class trip.
In a press release posted on the Windy Citizen, class president Fernando Cutz claims that a white student switched pants with one of the African-American students who was denied admission as “an experiment.” According to Cutz, the white student wearing the supposedly offending pants was let in without any problems.
“I think it’s because we were a group of predominantly black men and they felt threatened,” senior Blake Jones told Student Life, a school paper.
Club representatives told the Tribune it refused to let the men in because of security concerns, citing recent gang activity in the area.
When called by the Huffington Post, a Mother’s employee, who did not identify himself, said the company was waiting on its attorneys to make a statement and hung up.
An anonymous review of the bar on Citysearch from 2008 made a similar allegation of racism.
“The bouncers are ignorant and biased against people of color,” the reviewer wrote. “They denied my husband access due to his wardrobe my husband changed his clothes and meanwhile they allowed a white man to enter even though he had on gymshoes like my husband did.”
In response, the Washington University students filed a civil rights complaint with the Illinois attorney general’s office and additional complaints with the Chicago Commission on Human Relations and the U.S. Justice Department.
