INDIANA CIVIL RIGHTS COMMISSION SUPPORTS THUG-WEAR
THUGWEAR = CLOWNWEAR
It is truly sad that the Indiana Civil Rights Commission, in order to support all things black…including stupid black things, is trying to get an upscale club in Indianapolis to change it’s dress code to allow thugwear. Thugwear is the common wear of young black utes in an effort to look like idiots. They succeed quite well. You see them anywhere young blacks congregate. Their costumes consist of large NBA jerseys, lots of chains and fake jewelry, hats turned sideways and pants that are worn below the butt (PBA..Pants Below Ass). They truly look like clowns but the baggy pants phenomenon is related to clothing worn in prison. The club, Landsharks, is fighting the Civil Rights Commission to keep it’s current dress code prohibiting thugwear. This is what the Indiana Civil Rights Commission wants to protect and force upon a legal, profitable business that wants to protect their clientele and earn a profit.
A commission official contends that the dress code, which bans loose-fitting pants, baseball caps and hair picks, is discriminatory and could serve as a test case for changing dress codes at other bars and nightclubs throughout the state.
“The public interest in this is to see that the policies are amended to be less discriminatory,” said Indiana Civil Rights Commission Deputy Director Joshua Brewster
Landsharks has released the following on their website:
For over 14 years Landsharks has been one of the most popular nightclubs in Indianapolis. We have achieved our incredible success by providing a fun and safe environment for all patrons. During this time we have employed a dress code as well as other rules and policies to ensure that our superior record of safety continues. Our policies apply to and protect all patrons. Our employees and management enforce those policies in an even‐handed and fair manner with no onsideration of race, gender, sexual orientation, color, disability, ancestry, national
origin, or religion.
Landsharks is consistent. Nobody can enter the club wearing thugwear. They are not singling out blacks…the dress code applies to all idiots who would dress in thugwear. But a politically correct, un-needed Civil Rights Commission will try to dumb down the standards of the club to accept the lowest form of thuggity in Indy.
The commission said in a statement Thursday that the dress code prohibits “gang attire, loose-fitting pants, single-color T-shirts, chains worn outside of one’s shirt and picks in one’s hair, attire arguably more prevalent among members of particular minority populations.” Sounds good to me. If minority populations want to enter Landsharks, they can dress appropriately. This is no different that when AWD is down in Augusta and is required to wear a jacket to dinner after playing 18 with Jack.
It’s bad enough that black youth dress like morons but it is worse for adults to try and turn this into a racism thing. The Indiana Civil Rights Commission would be much better served encouraging blacks wearing thugwear to dress in a more appropriate way. Stop forcing stupidity on those who are trying to make a living! Also, nobody wants to go to an establishment where gang-bangers are hanging about wearing thugwear. Stick to your guns Landsharks!
Here’s a video on the amount of weapons that can be hidden in thugwear. Although it looks like AWD going to the store:
Here’s the website for Landsharks:
Damn! I’m impressed with the amount of hardware that young man pulled out of his pants (no, don’t go there!). Actually, I’m jealous. I wonder how difficult it would be for him to walk with all of that?
But back to the main subject. LandSharks has a DRESS-CODE policy. Not a RACE policy. If you wish to meet or exceed the dress code, I’m sure you would be more then welcome to enter & have a good time. No matter who or what race you are.
And it sounds like they are a PRIVATE business, not a government business.
So, Indiana, BUTT OUT!
That’s right – pull everyone else down to your level of ignorance and stupidity. That’s what is wrong with this country. We have been tolerant of unacceptable and immoral behavior far too long and a lot of us are fed up. If these people want to go to this club then they should RESPECT the standards. These people have no respect for anything.
Oneway ticket to Africa.
Another business that will soon go under b/c of the government interfering with the free market. If I were out on a Saturday night clubbin, no way would I go to a place where a bunch of gangbanging n*i*g*g*er thugs [Sorry AWD, but that's what they are!] were hanging about. If I only had to drive by it, my gun would be in my lap and at the ready, with the extra clips in the passenger seat.
You have no free speech rights in a private business, so why would this be any different.
79 Firebirdman……….
as I have said before, there are negro (edited by AWD) thugs,
and then there are black people, and there IS a world of difference. I won’t apologize for the “N” word because it’s the truth and I won’t apologize for the “wiggers” that try and imitate them.They BOTH are a
blemish on either race.
Dang, AWD, you sure have a knack for finding some interesting articles/videos!
The amount of firearms he pulled out was interesting, but not nearly as shocking (at least to me) as when he pulled out shotgun!
And I must agree with JimB. There are two types of blacks: Blacks, which are the good type of black, and n*****s, which are the rappin, “gangsta”, “bruthah” type.
The civil rights movement has changed. Before, it was allowing blacks to have the basic civil rights that should be afforded to them. Now, it seems as if the civil rights movement has lost its way. Personally, it would not effect me because I do not attend dance clubs, and I do not live in a black neighborhood. It is black people themselves that are going to suffer the consequences of this. After all, black people do like to shoot other black people. When a black person dies of a gunshot wound, of gets seriously injured due to a 5 on 1 beating, those are the people who are effected by the new civil rights movement.
the NAACP can openly deny scholoship apps based on race…. but a club that handles society w/ a blind eye (cept for the pants) is racist.
standard black liberal progressive logic! woooooo!
Blacks are ruining this country which is quite significant since they only make up 12 percent of our population.
We had a club in da hood of Milwaukee (Club Escape) that bent over backwards to keep patrons safe. The place was a constant nuisance (regardless of having security up the ass) due to the clientele, so the City’s Alderman revoked their liquor license. This is what happens to places who cater to these low lifes. Point is- if Landsharks is operating a club safely, everyone else can eff off!
Stick to your guns Landsharks is right!
I am sick to death of what this country has done to private businesses over the last 25 years…take too long to write what all I’ve seen groups/lawsuits/govt. one way or the other do.
We aren’t free anymore in many ways…and if this administration stays in power after 2010 with no way to stop them, we ain’t seen nothing yet.
Close down every state “civil rights commission”, and put those people to work in PRODUCTIVE JOBS, and not waste of time and money bureaucrats and paper- pushers.
No wonder were in such great shape- how many people really produce ANYTHING?
BTW-
“Fancy Pants” on the left looks like he’s filling up the radiator with natural Prestone.
Hitch him up to a plow and not only will he till the soil, but he’ll fertilize it as well.
You guys are missing the point. This is not about a bar not letting thug wear in, this is about a predominantly white, upper middle class bar not letting thug wear in. They wouldn’t have a problem if it was a predominantly black bar banning thug wear. Wake up to the war.

“Blacks are ruining this country.”
Slight spelling error:
“Blacks are running this country”.
In order to have succeeded in ruining this country, they would have had to run it first. Which they have, for the last 40 years.
TNB, Typical Negro Behavior. And it is ruining the country. Instead of spending all this money over the years on wars we should have been trying to build a time machine to go back and warn the slave trader’s what they we’re doing to our future, or at least let John Wilkes Booth know that his deed would do the polar opposite what he had intended. Abe wanted to send them back I’ve read, what a shame he wasn’t successful.
Stephen, good grasp of history. While John Wilkes Booth and those who shared his conviction regarded Lincoln as a race traitor, Lincoln by today’s standards would be a raging white supremacist. It was his intention to send all blacks to Africa following the abolition of slavery. In fact, he spoke to a group of blacks stating (this is my paraphrase, I cannot remember the exact quote) “your race has suffered under our rule and our race suffers because of your presence.” In fact, we should go back in time and destroy the slave trade. Contrary to popular opinion, slavery isn’t what made this nation rich and powerful. In fact, the primary reason for the civil war was that the persistence of a feudal slave system in the South was harming the Union and creating a backward economic system. Slavery spits directly in the kind of Capitalism espoused by Adam Smith. Successful economies are created through the use of free labor and social mobility. Slaves probably didn’t perform the best work because they had no good reason to, and the white slave owners could not simply get rid of a slave the way an employer can fire a free employee for poor work because slaves cost money. Slavery did incredible damage to blacks, but in many ways it has actually harmed whites. Had white Europeans just populated the American colonies with even more white Europeans and done the damn menial labor themselves, we wouldn’t have all the racial headaches we have today. But yes, I too wish that Abe had been successful.
I’m relatively new to this site and I agree with quite a bit of what folks have to say–except for some of the stuff about blacks. My personal belief is simple: if the person is a Christian and a conservative then I could care less about their race; I’d rather associate with good solid folks (regardless of race) who are conservative and believe in conservative principles (such as limited government, 2nd amendment rights, etc.) then a liberal ideologue, (regardless of their race). Not trying to preach, I just think that conservatives should all hang together cause Obama is still president and will continue to ruin this country as long as he is, although the tide is turning (I love the election results tonight–Virginia is red again baby and there is hope for New Jersey yet–not quite the change Obama is looking for:))!
Virginiaconservative, welcome to the AWD family. I agree with you on the race bit. I am much more comfortable with a conservative black person than a liberal white. I don’t care about skin color either…I dislike trashy people of all races. Congrats on your liberation in Virginia!!
AWD
Virginiaconservative, I agree with you. Being a conservative Christian, but also being a realist, I prefer to be around people with like views and not necessarily like color. I’ve had conservative black friends who I would fight with and liberal white associates that I would walk off from. But I have to admit, as would several black conservatives, such as Rev. Jesse Peterson, that blacks are a big part of the problem and will continue to be as long as they are brought up being fed the “daddy government” crap they are fed from birth such as welfare and other govt programs that I believe are designed to keep them under the all powerful govt thumb.
google Christian/Newsom murder’s in Tennessee then do a search on black on white crime that the MSM will not talk about, smell the coffee.
Hi AWD, long time no see.
Once we accepted that the government had the right to abrogate our God-given right to free association, this sort of thing became inevitable.
How can any freedom-loving person think that a man doesn’t have the right to decide who may or may not enter his domain?
I don’t care on what basis someone decides to discriminate, a man’s property is his property and any abrogation of that right is an injustice.
And yes, that includes barring someone because they’re black, white, red, yellow, brown, sepia, homosexual, fat, ugly, stupid – whatever.
Yet another freedom we surrendered under the aegis of “civil rights.”
My personal belief is simple: if the person is a Christian and a conservative then I could care less about their race
You don’t have to be interested in race; race is interested in you. Your criteria have disparate impact (far lower percentage of blacks measure up than whites), and are therefore racist.
Race is interested in you.
And where do you think white values originate? Something in the water we drink? Wake up.
blacks are a big part of the problem and will continue to be as long as they are brought up being fed the “daddy government” crap they are fed from birth such as welfare and other govt programs that I believe are designed to keep them under the all powerful govt thumb.
I see this site is still populated with blank-slaters who imagine they’re conservatives. If they are, I have no interest in conservatism.
So what’s Africa’s problem? The liberal big-government types causing black “pathology” there, too?
LOL, modern conservatism = cowardice.
Would someone care to dig up a single non-white nation with small government? A single population to which small government is indigenous?
Small government, libertarianism, are white phenomena. As long as they are joined at the hip to egalitarian blank-slater nonsense, they carry the seeds of their own destruction.
Liberty – it’s a white thing.
