An overflow crowd jammed a Philadelphia Commission on Human Relations hearing on Tuesday night to level more complaints about racism and discrimination at white-owned gay bars in the Gayborhood.

Nearly 30 different speakers, most black or Latino, delivered passionate testimonials about experiencing racism in the form of dress code and ID policies, an air of "white privilege" and a bar owner who uses the n-word.

The left eats itself.

"...all men are created equal..."

When you fork with that, you get what you deserve.

I’m wondering why the Blacks don’t put up their own money and open their own queer bar, with an air of “Black privilege” where they can keep white D-suckers out.

More of a socio-cultural thing, really, but maybe that explains the smash and grab at a Philly clothier: Video: Smash and grab at Boyds in Center City

Kinda gay, but aside from that, great sounds to be sure.

And now for something completely different.

LOL. Why don’t they invite some Muslims to the event too so they can tell everyone about how gay should be jailed or killed? The Left is beating itself up. Pass the popcorn!

The seeds for the destruction of American liberal fascism have been planted by the liberals themselves.

Step back and enjoy the show.

You just can't make this stuff up!! Godless liberals at work or is that "men at work". Some of you get it. These "I'm entitled" groups remind me of the various sects of Muslims. When they're not busy beheading the infidel, they enjoy killing one another. If these perverts weren't so sad, lost and pathetic, this would have been a funny story.
