- Simulacra 3mo agoWhen I worked in IT for the US congress (2012) the internal system that tracks constituents does the same thing. All offices uses it. "Black folks" was the most glaring odd label that I saw.
- AlexandrB 3mo agoJoe Rogan's Comedy Mothership does something similar[1]. The worst part about these systems is that the lack of accountability and appeals process. If you end up on the "bad" list, you're banned and probably SOL.

- galkk 3mo agoHmm, nobody is entitled to a private property visit and owner can set any rules they like
- pyuser583 3mo agoThat’s not true at all. There are many rules affecting public establishments, including privately owned ones. Your house is your house, but once you establish a venue open to the general public, you have to follow rules.
- galkk 3mo agoWhich rules are broken? Like with guns (opening paragraph about removing concealed carry guns). The sign “no guns on premise” doesn’t have power of law, unless it’s like school, but if owner asks you to leave, you should comply, otherwise you will be trespassing
- pyuser583 3mo agoNew York City specifically has laws that require establishments to admit journalists and critics. Civil liberties come into play. I can discriminate based on race or sex in who I allow into my house, but not my storefront. Some place have straight up public accolades requirements - if it’s open to the public, it has to be open to the public.
- galkk 3mo agoI feel that I’m reading AI answer. Nobody needs your generalizations. Stay on point. Have you read the referred article? Did you look up the club rules? How are NYC rules related to it, is it in NYC? What is your point? Because it is clear that you comment with your prejudice and preconditions, not with article.

- josefritzishere 3mo agoIs this a hate crime? It might literally be illegal in New York. Maybe they're undeserving of their millions of dollars of tax breaks.
