Quote :: No blacks, no gays, Dominican Republic bar sticks by its ways

Santo Domingo.- Rua's Bar, a disco located in the heart of Dominican Republic’s capital on Thursday defended its decision to bar homosexuals or blacks, stating that it serves “a demanding” and “elite” public which “decides whom to rub elbows with and whom not,” news source clavedigital.com reports.

On facebook Rua's manager Manuel Tomas Diaz apologized to the black people and homosexuals who were kept from entering the disco last week. “We, as all businesses and families, only have our own rules.”

“Rua's reserves the right to admission, it’s a right which bars have to decide who can and who cannot enter, our public is demanding and elite and decides whom to rub elbows with and whom not,” he said.

“Without wishing to generalize we’ve had regrettable spectacle of homosexual couples kissing in the middle of the bar, something which for many is normal, but disagreeable for others. For that reason I gain repeat, we reserve the right o admission,” added Rua's executive.

“A cozy atmosphere, good music, excellent service and more,” says the manager of the disco, located in the capital’s upscale Naco sector. “We maintain these offers thanks to our customers, who as well as demand good presence, good manners and other rules, and from us demand an healthy, moderate and appropriate ambience to share with their friendships.”

Well, while prejudice is wrong, I highly doubt anybody they are discriminating against would care to go to that bar after this anyway.

I have a hard time seeing the practicality of a bar located in the Dominican Republic trying to keep black people out.

Aren't most Dominicans black? That must be a pretty empty bar. Maybe they're catering to tourists.

That's so bullshit but let em be that way. They wanna discriminated and keep certain people then alright bet. Just tax them muthafuckas thru the roof until they beggin for bizness from the undesirables they tryin to keep out.

LOL, must be only for white tourists. Can't be discriminating against their own people since most of them ARE black. But wait, we have tons of black people whitewashed and color struck anyway so maybe they are.

Yeah it's gotta be a white, conservative tourist hangout....they can't be catering to too many of the locals, hell most of them don't look too far removed from me....
