Beware the *new* ROYALE

You're 100% correct. All the media shrews who want to snicker at your comments will secretly nod in agreement and feel guilty about it. Oh, and did I mention that they'll take your advice and AVOID the place too?

We all know it's true.

Because you say it is, right, genius?

Let me spell it out for you: only an idiot or someone looking for trouble would knowingly go to a place that has a reputation for accomodating thuggish behavior, regardless of what color these thugs are. Got that?
Do you really think someone who's got their act together and/or has experienced more than just the residual racism of this neighborhood is gonna feel guilty over calling out subjective and blatantly racist remarks like ParkSlope95's? Please tell me you're a little brighter than that, at least.

These racist mooks, I tell ya...where are they when white cops kick the living crap, or worse yet, shoot dozens of bullets into innocent black or brown people? What's that? They deserved it? Right...

gawker see, gawker do. this is why posters should be registered.

What bars in NYC have a reputation for hosting WHITE thugs? I can't think of one.

And you're calling me delusional? Hahahahahaha. Dude, you crack me up! OK, I won't even get into the Mob bars or the Westies bars or the Hell's Angels/biker bars, etc. but I'll stick to Park Slope and tell you that there are currently two on 5th Ave, that may not necessarily "host" these dudes but are frequented by them. If you read one of my previous entries you'll see that I used to DJ at one that is no longer around and there are two more within blocks of each other in the North Slope. You want names? C'mon, don't play dumb, if you are from the neighborhood you know EXACTLY which ones they are. Ask around, and you'll hear the same tune, because like the new Royale, they're the bars that people don't feel safe in, regardless of their own color.

So, are you telling me that the trouble caused in the bars in this neighborhood that RARELY have people of color in them--which are the overwhelming majority--are caused by black or brown people? That occasional black or brown person that goes into Great Lakes, Commonwealth or Buttermilk is the one that starts the problems, right? It's all dandy until they show up, correct? Of course not and you know it, so get your head out of the sand. It's an attitude/behavior thing not a color thing. What this means is that NO ONE HAS THE IDIOT/THUG MARKET CORNERED.

I can't speak about other 'hoods/cities, etc. but I know mine and know that bars that attract idiots get idiots of all colors and those that don't, get mostly cool people of every hue. But that's just me feeling all "warm...and superior": we both know it's all about black and brown people fuckin' up, right?

Jeez...

Um, just out of curiosity, since you are ALSO using the Brooklynian.com forums, what does this make you?

re you calling my friends and I, and all of Royale's clientele L.C.D.? I don't need to keep it real, I just want to have fun. Just lost your job. GET OVER IT.

I don't think you lost your job because of new manangement. You lost your job because you are a LOSER. Whiney loser. Did black people do something to you when you were growing up?

Gosh! That sure tells me!

Oh sweetie, unclench a bit, okay? Really, I won't tell about us if you don't, you rascal, you.

You really do say the darnedest things.

Um, I think some of the bigger shit-stirrers in this thread quite likely did come from Gawker, or else they might have enough of a clue not to make assumptions about people who have been using this site for some time now based on a fairly racist original post by someone who's an unregistered guest poster.

New folks: Please don't think everyone on this site is like ParkSlope95, who isn't a regular here and who, in fact, made his or her first appearance on this board by starting this very discussion. If you're interested in the neighborhoods covered by the board and want to sign up and join in, we'd love to have you. If you're going to be a twit, though, don't let the door hit you where the Lord split you.

Regulars: This is a bit much for any of the mods to try to sort out and y'all seem to be doing VERY well in responding to this silliness, so I'm just going to suggest that perhaps we should ignore stupid things said by people who are obviously first-time visitors. If it gets too out of control, we may have to lock the thread.

Fair enough?

wait. there's this written on gawker

Haven't been there since August, and the mix was 45% African-American, 45% Ancient-Italians, and 10% fagtard (my friends and me). All were having fun. Granted this was around six to eight on a Sunday.

Unrelatedly, my lady-friend said it was very easy to score coke there.
