'Code for no black people': New York bar's 'racist' dress code sparks online debate
2018-09-22
[Free Republic] Rochester, N.Y., resident Herbert Smith wasn’t aware of the controversy he was about to create when he was moved to post a photo of a local bar’s dress code to his Facebook page. But since he took to social media to share the long list of items that can’t be worn inside the Murphy’s Law Irish Pub in his neighborhood, some people are calling out the bar for enforcing a "racist" dress code.

While making plans with a friend to meet up at a nearby bar, Smith received a picture of the questionable dress code posted in the front window of Murphy’s Law. He tells Yahoo Lifestyle that "it immediately struck a chord." Although he wasn’t entirely sure what to think about it, he decided to call attention to it.

"I post a lot of stuff on Facebook, so I thought a few of my friends would chime in," he says. "But what happened next I was not expecting."

#9  Dress codes are a good thing. People act the way they dress. School uniforms have a very positive effect. Bars often refuse service to folks but this gives the folks a chance to know the rules ahead of time.

#2  From the bar owner's perspective, if you're not in the bar buying a drink, it doesn't matter what you think about it.
