I got banned from a bar for my friend being black. Okay, that's not entirely accurate. There's a small bar in a hipster part of my town that caters to college kids from a nearby private university and young professionals in the area. I was with a bunch of coworkers, we all worked in another bar. One of them was a black guy from Chicago (this all happened in the deep South) and probably the only black guy to walk through the doors of that place in a while. We'll call him Newton. Anyway, none of us really thought anything of it because why would we?
We all had a habit of slapping each other on the ass, guys and girls, and my friend Newton did it to one of my female coworkers while she was flirting with some guy. The guy she was talking to got fucking irate and tried to start a fight with Newton. I was sitting at a table across the room, probably 50ft away, watching this happen. The staff separated the guys and kicked Newton out, so I was getting up to settle my tab and leave with him. Well, the bartender came over before I could and told me we all had to leave and we shouldn't ever come back. The other guy, the one who really started all the shit, got to stay. However, all of the people who came in with Newton were kicked out and banned. I still go there sometimes, though; they don't even recognize me.
