how does one meet and beat the snot out of these racist? — Brooklynian

how does one meet and beat the snot out of these racist?

Community Board 10 members that is.


just unbelievable racist. they haven't even open yet, they already declare the place is for prostitution. wouldn't that be libel?

Will it be a flesh joint — or just a place to sing your favorite Fleshtones song? Will there be prostitutes — or just a lot of people screaming, “Roxanne”?

The owners of a planned karaoke joint in Bay Ridge say their place is the latter — but they were nonetheless stymied on Monday night when Community Board 10 voted nearly unanimously to nix their request for a liquor license amid allegations that the singalong studio was actually a den of prostitution.

The soon-to-be finished video karaoke parlor, Crown KTV, is still scheduled to open next month on 64th Street between Eighth and Ninth avenues — and supporters believe that the board’s vote hinged on a misunderstand of karaoke culture.

Crown KTV’s 13 private booths will rent for about $20 per hour and are equipped with TV screens that display song lyrics. Such facilities are quite common in Midtown Manhattan, but at least one board member was convinced they’d be used for prostitution.

“We don’t need no hookers here!” the member shouted at the March 16 hearing.

    thats what a Karaoke places are like. private rooms sing with friends and eat and get drunk. still bunch of ignorant asses.
  • Armchair- I understand exactly what the type of karaoke place you are describing is like. I happened to have lived somewhere outside of NY where karaoke is huge, where office and other work parties are held in karaoke rooms and teens go to just sing and not necessarily to drink, and Asians (besides Chinese, also Japanese, Thai, Filipino, Vietnamese etc), are not referred to as a minority.
