Have you heard about the city of Beijing, China banning Blacks and Mongolians from their bars during the 2008 Summer Olympics? Allegedly, bar owners near the Workers Stadium in central Beijing say they have been forced by Public Security Bureau officials to sign pledges agreeing not to let Black people or Mongolians enter their premises for fear that these races of people may become “rowdy”.
It seems to me that this is a contradiction of the official 2008 Summer Olympics slogan, One World, One Dream. And if this is true, Beijing may miss out on some much needed tourism money with this act of racism.
Now, being an African American (Black) myself, I’ve socially partaken of fine liqueurs with people of various races. And I can tell you this………….we are not the ones you need to worry about that are getting rowdy while drinking.
