Fluid Night Club - Racism

I thought I'd share this e-mail to contribute on making everyone aware of what is going on.

Is this really happening? Have you guys experienced something similar?

-----start of e-mail------
This is a true story which happened to a friend of a friend.

It's hard to believe that in this day and age in Toronto, racism still exists. Myself and a friend (decently dressed) attempted to enter into Fluid night club on Richmond St., Wednesday night and were told by the black bouncer, Carl Campbell, that the Italian owners do not want Black people in their club tonight and to come back on Thursday night. He also added "sorry man, no disrespect" after he refused us entry.
Besides the total absurdity of the fact that this is The "Club District" it is also degrading to observe that a black man is bouncing for club owners that do not want Blacks in their establishment and has the audacity to tell them (untactfully) no disrespect and come back on Thursday.

We are asking that as proud, self respecting, intelligent people that the next time that you are trying to decide where to party and spend your money that you think of this letter and remember that your money should be good enough to spend, on any night of the week, in any club, regardless of your race.

I am asking that you help to spread the word and pass this email along to everyone that you know.

-----end of e-mail------

What?

Was it Gino night out or something?

That's a big load of BS on behalf of the club owners...

[edit] if it's true...I just read that friend of a friend thing too...

I don't know anything about Fluid, but that was my fist thought as well.

Not quite as sickening as what I put up with from this guy in Collingwood

I was gonna spin @ this new club opening called Infusion. Went in to talk to the owner, we got talked about the kind of music gonna be played.

A selection of his comments:

"I don't want a club full of fucking thugs and n!ggers"

"I don't give a fuck what you play as long as the women are dancing and the male bozos keep dishing out money for drinks. Just don't play hip hop and rap the whole damn time, cuz we don't wanna see any fucking n!ggers."

While I told him I would spin, I backed out of whole fucking thing, cuz this guy is a white trask piece of shit.

I'm not sure if it is actually illegal.

The club is privately owned; the owners can refuse entry to whomever for whatever reason they wish.

Yup, I'm still wondering that. Will try to get the person who started sending this email to post something.

I believe this.

There's an after hour over here who refuses black people too, at one exception. If they come alone or everyone in his group is non-black.

private club has no bearings in the ontario human rights code

then again....a complaint must be filed in order for something to happen.

I don't know jack about law but I think you're correct...

kinda reminds me of a night last year at the Guv when there were "too many old asian men" in the club and if they wanted in they had to pay $100 cover...or the time where if you arrived with no women you had to produce 2 pieces of accepted ID...

unfair but not illegal I believe...
