The power and light district is being accused of racial motivated dress code. They said the rules unfairly discriminate against African American Males

You have got to be kidding me.. Is there nothing these days that you  wont  play the race card .. The dress code  says:

NO loitering: What? You dont know how to be a customer ?

NO Concealed Weapons: Cant go somewhere and leave the weapons at home when yuo're out having a good time? Gotta bring your gun incase some punk pisses you  off, so you can cap his arse?

NO Solicitations: That's right the businesses there paid good money to be the ones doing business there

NO Disorderly Conduct: Are you telling me you are incapable of behaving yourselves?

NO Bicycles or Skateboards: I think this is pretty self explainatory.

Apparel Deeamed inappropriate by Management Such As:

Profanity on Clothing: People bring their children and besides no one wants to go out for a nice time and read about your HO

Sweat Shirts Work Boots: Yeah, dress up a little

the dress code prohibits exposed necklaces worn by men, untucked shirts and white T-shirts

Among the most contentious dress code elements are prohibitions against chains or necklaces worn by men, untucked shirts, white T-shirts and long, baggy clothes. That's right no "street clothes"

 

The Power and LIght district is trying to maintain an upscale look. I think it is  a Good thing.

I dont believe that it targets anyone except people who like to hang around looking like punks carrying firearms...

 

What do you think?

Here is the whole story

I agree with you completley! White punks dress like that too...so I don't want to hear the race card. They (P&L), as you stated, are just trying to portray a nicer image than Westport...and looked what happened there...a murder almost daily...

I had a friend wear a jersey to the Levee (not at P&L District) and they made him wear his coat the entire time...a Chiefs jersey...so it's not just P&L and frankly I am glad to see it, nothing irritates me more than seeing punks holding their pants up when they walk so they don't fall down...I get so ticked off when I see that. I am done ranting now, glad someone else feels the same way I do!

They dont allow sports attire at P&L either, except on game days.

Then all my friends with the facial piercings and black clothes should have no problem. Nothing on the board that says those things are bad. It does seem to be geared toward a certain stereotype.

Nicer image??? The girls walked around wearing less clothes than whores and most of the older guys chasing them looked like smarmy care salesmen. The younger males behaved no better than drunken college frat boys. And ladies...if you are of a "certain " age or really a certain "weight" then choose your outfits wisely. When you are 40+, the law of averages says than your but will not sit as high nor will your boobs...stop wearing the clothes that are meant for those body types. I saw more old lady @ss than I ever wanted to see. Shirts were untucked and @sses were showing...didn't see anyone stoppping them. I was not impressed. I did however notice a lack of African American people or whatever is the proper term....sorry, I am white....the ones I did see...well...those guys weren't chasing girls...and the ladies still had their behinds flashing the world...all 2 of them that I saw.

Target every undesireable...not just the ones who are black or act like it. It's not a racist dress code....it's a sexist racist dress code.

It is a dress code, whether you or anyone agrees with it or not. It is what the business owners of the P&L district decided on. Seems to keep the "street clothes" out anyway. Your opinion on what is appropriate for women to wear obviously doesnt match up with what the businesses decided on . Oh, well...

I say it's time for everyone (yes I said EVERYONE) to get a grip. At what point did this whole attitude get started? I can't remember any of this juvenile crap going on back in the 80's. Just one more reason why my family and I do family things at home, and/or in a more unique and adventurous way.

Searchingtoo I being a manager in the service industry, you don't want to discourage anyone from coming and having a good time or enjoying the surrounding that is offered. You have to make a choice on do you risk loosing a little business by implementing restrictions or retaining good business by offering the friendly, clean unvolger atmosphere that most people enjoy and are looking for. purdygirl I agree with you, the last thing I want to see walking by me while shopping, eating or watching a show is some ones butt crack because they have no respect for them selves little lone the people around them

At the end of last week I was downtown on business with my boss, and we were stopped at an intersection and there was a black guy crossing in front of us on the crosswalk. In one hand was his pants that he was holding up so he could walk.. guess what was in his other hand?... A cane.. so he could walk. It was the stupidest thing I had seen in awhile. LOL

The proper term for you is European American..you are not just a color..if a color was fine, then you could just say Black. You talk about racism and you don't even realize the racism against your own self.
