Blacks banned from Beijing bars during Olympics

Minimal. The majority of foreigners that I have met over there are German. There are a few English, some Italians and a few Americans.

I can count on two hands the amount of black people I have seen on all the trips I have been there combined.

I will point out though, that there are billboards as high as the eye can see in Beijing and Shanghai that feature Kobe and LeBron. I don't know if that means anything, but I can't imagine Kobe being able to sell products but not being able to get a drink.

 

If this is true, this is absolutely disgusting.

 

Should have just given it to Springfield, no matter how much Bart offended the IOC.

 

Bob Dylan weighs in:

 

Not pleased.

 

Waiting for Jesse Jackson & Al Sharpton to show up in Beijing demanding justice.

 

Ahh ... the Chinese are just getting back at the Mongolians for the Yuan dynasty. The Mongolians did nothing for China, save forcing them to build a huge wall, moving the capital to Beijing and re-unifying a previously-divided country.

 

More pleased:

 

that's some of the most fucked up shit I've ever read. Boycott that fuckin thing. Sure,that's my knee-jerk reaction, but if I'm not welcome, I wouldn't fuckin go.

 

Goddamn Mongolians!

 

Say what you want about Jimmy Carter.

At least he had the courage and convictions to boycott the Games.

 

Love the Google ad this thread inspires.



Just in case anyone's listening over there on Jones' old wiretap: Piss off and die.
