Have you ever been denied entry into a club because of the color of your skin or weight?
A group of British Black women were recently denied entry into an exclusive nightclub in London for reportedly being ‘too dark’ and ‘too fat’ to be seen in the popular club. What the entire hell?!?
Zalika Miller, 26, an up-and-coming actress from north London said: “Prior to us actually getting to the club, the [promoter] wanted pictures of the girls that my friend was going to bring. He basically said, if she was going to bring black girls then they’ve got to be of ‘a certain calibre’. She sent him pictures of me and another girl that was coming and I guess he gave his approval.”
They claim a club employee at the door disappeared into the venue – where they have a video monitor – to verify whether someone can be ‘admitted’ into the club.
“I remember even saying I’m not even going to bother to take my ID out because I bet she’s going to come back out and tell us some rubbish excuse,” Miller, who starred in the Brothers With No Game web series, said.
The group was declined entry and told the club was at full capacity only to watch in shock as other women were allowed to enter after them.
Miller says the promoter went to the door girl and asked why she wasn’t letting them in but was told, ‘I don’t think they’re good looking enough’ and later in an text message exchange with the DSTRKT promoter, the group of women were later informed that they were rejected at the door because one of the girls was “too dark” and another was “overweight.”
Are these people serious?? Many clubs have been known to enforce ambiguous rules to prevent people of color from entering but this is just ridiculous! Do you think a private business should be allowed to enforce rules to keep “certain” people out their establishment?
