Ghostface Killaz and The Deadleh Sexeh Crew <<< Not exactly warm and cuddly...

Well, since there are a lot of Latino's in the shots, racism might be a bit of a stretch BUT I agree there are a few images of some perfectly innocent looking black girls that could have gotten into the mix. I will stick to one of my original posts that this kinda imagery as innocent as it may be sets an odd tone and could have scared the management off. There is definitely a wash but maybe the owner sees the group type (of selected shots)that he/she chose as the bread and butter that will support the club. No reason this shot couldn't have made it in to at least represent a few black folks that were there that night because I agree, they are noticeably missing.

In my neighborhood, there has been a gunfire a few times as some of the clubs start letting out (shit woke me up from a sound sleep more than once) and I won't project that weirdness onto your shots but a few images gave me moment for pause...again, even as innocent as they may have been.

Racism.......hmmmmmmaybe? Not an easy, 100% clear call although the girl in this shot is easily the darkest person in the selected folder and at least, five shades lighter than some of the other guests not posted. Tough call but a very fair question to ask..."what's up wit dat?"

Nice shots.

I don't see why sorority girls holding up the hand symbolism for their house would be frowned upon... unless the management of the club is pretty ignorant about such things and mistook them for gang signs hahaha
