I could try to pull up some examples, if the search engine on C-D wasn't so difficult.
Sure.

All white bars tend to be redneck and hillbilly places. Not my kind of crowd or music.

The persons were arrested and prosecuted in that case so there was no need for Rev Sharpton or Jesse Jackson to show up there.

I just avoid bars, I'm kinda old and not looking to meet any new people. If I want to drink, I can do cheaper and more comfortable at my house. I work security at a strip club and get my fill of stupid drunk people.

Let the kids their place to game on the women and puff their chests

Not surprised. I'm not a fan of Kentucky in the least bit.

In an all black club with a young crowd? Yep. I would be scared of the reaction of black men. And I am sure they would be the same if they were in a redneck hillbilly bar and wanting to dance with the white women in there. We know better.

I understand it but don't. I know there is bs and you'll find it there but when I was young and zeroed in on a woman, there'd be hell to pay if you put yourself between us. And yea, that includes everything from your redneck dive, to your black club, to the TJ strip.

Most people are full of talk, don't let them discourage you from having a good time.

Kentucky is a southern state. That means in general I don't like it and that it is most likely racist. But it did win the NCAA title last week. Not that the state, the other KU, it was playing is much if any better.
