A South Side bar owner’s dress code is generating calls for a boycott.
Andrew Balint recently posted the dress code for Twelve Whiskey BBQ and it began circulating on social media. African-Americans in Pittsburgh began to take notice, saying the guidelines seem to target them.
“I'm not going to give my money and enrich your livelihood if you don't respect me as a person. This is a matter of respect,” said Khamil Scantling.
Twelve's dress code, titled "proper attire," contains a long list of clothing that's no longer accepted, including Timberland boots, Air Jordan sneakers, baggy clothing, flashy jewelry and hoodies.
The problem is, people like Scantling say the specificity in this list appears to target a certain demographic of people.

I love Elwood when the sommelier tells him, “wrong glass, sir”.
Mr. Fawlty, Mr. Basil Fawlty, white courtesy phone, please.
Apparently, the owner wants to retire really soon.
Home ain't got no beef.
Starts off with fights, then you have to install metal detectors, customers are robbed and assaulted outside, waitresses are sexually harassed and assaulted, then the drugs, shootings and the place gets robbed.
They are clearly racist. They only banned WHITE T-shirts. T-shirts of color are still allowed.
IF they were trying to discriminate against “a certain group of people” they forgot the biggest thing..... No displaying of underwear!
I predict that Liberal Moonbat Mayor Peduto will beat him into submission with kangaroo court harassment from “civil rights” and “human relations” commissions.
It doesn’t say, “No jammies,” so I guess the Walmartians are in.
Okay, then I don’t see why you’re getting so worked up over this. I don’t have a problem with what they want. Heck, I’d change my boots to shoes if I really wanted to go there. I truly don’t understand your personal affront at this.
“Appears like they’re trying to maintain a civil environment.”
Should be easy as the place will de empty.
It goes beyond that.
It addresses thugs with :
Anger issues and attitude.
All thugs, regardless of age, sex, color, religion, national origin, sexual perversion...
Did I miss anything?
One of my unforgettable eperiences happened when I was in Paris visiting my daughter who spent a year in ParisV at la Sorbonne. It was around 9 pm on our way home on the Metro.
There sitting across the aisle was a drop-dead gorgeous young woman, obviously a model from the fashion distinct around La Madeleine. I whispered to my daughter in English, when I saw what the model was wearing, then smiled at the model and she smiled back.
She was impeccably dressed, but wearing ... Combat boots.
Had to have been 1993.
but, it’s pittsburgh
I hang out after work at a tavern that is blue collar workers, mailmen , firemen, day shift policemen and tradesmen etc.
Most of them stop by after work to have a drink.
All of them go home before 10.
Almost none of them work on Saturday night.
Friday night and Saturday nights are for the younger people.
Where the heck do you guys live that normal guys are going to TRENDY DOWNTOWN BARS on Friday and Saturday nights after 10pm in work boots and camo outfits?
I think some of you guys missed the fact its only Friday and Sat., and after 10pm.
This is NOT a shot and beer joint either.
You're right about the times.
It's yuppie, millennial crowd area.
Where I work boots are mandatory and camo is the color of choice.
The black guy quoted is just looking to be offended.
