Good post Gunner hopefully we can forget about these women and the actual underlying issue with blacks and clubs gets addressed. We are fighting the right war just choosing the wrong battle to fight.

 

I agree this matter should be highlighted but not with these girls as the forefront the whole not getting into the club because you are black is different to not being allowed to enter because you do not make the grade.

They subscribe to this pretentious image so they can  post it on social media as some sort of validation on their life. I am more angry about this 'club' not having a dance floor

I looked at pictures of the club they had dark skin black girls in there and they were of a certain quality. This is a club you have millionaires and socialites going to so I am pretty sure if it was white females in the same position they would of been rejected to. I think ALLOT of people are not actually looking at the TYPE of club they were trying to get into.

 

I am seeing people doing disrespectful stuff like comparing this bullshit to the civil rights movement online. Watch people trying and build careers out of this debacle you got that Wog Socket soaking up her 5 minutes of fame.

Protesting to spend your money in white establishments where they clearly don't want you there or WORSE judge you to some EUROPEAN STANDARD is some of the DUMBEST sh*t I've ever heard.

 

And if the small minority of black people wasn't so ignorant with their behaviour maybe we'd have somewhere. At the same time, black people don't want ownership they want money. And what do we do with money? Spend it in non white establishments with sh*t like this happening on the sly (or now being exposed. I hear what you're saying about Police etc shutting it down for stupid reasons but if more people came together we could easily have our own.

 

Plenty of promoters do hip hop/bashment/R&B nights but you don't wanna go there coz you can't stunt and want to be seen in these high class up London establishments spending your monthly salary in one night then having to take out a payday loan a week later just to buy travel card.

Omarion tweeted he's not going there tonight. Doesn't say the reason but it's safe to assume it's linked to this. Good. It's a start. Not really feeling the hashtag for them it's all promo and white people will pack out that club. So blacks won't go there anymore. You ultimately think they're gonna lose business?

 

As Gunner said, different rules for them. Police got NO incentive to shut that down.

We at the Fridge Bar have decided to call it a day. When we converted what was then a disused boarded up building in 1996 we never thought that we would outlast every other venue in Brixton who started at the same time!

Being a black owned venue has been hard, really hard. The upside though is that I met some fantastic people, clever people, funny people, socially conscious people and to be honest some downright horrible people also! I have been to numerous weddings, christenings and seen job celebrations of people that were so kind as to invite me into their private lives. I loved every moment of those times.

For those who know me they will attest that I love music especially old skool hip hop. I am proud that through my company I first brought artists to the UK such as MC Lyte, Wrecks N Effectz, Audio Two, Kid n Play, Brand Nubian, Redman, Onyx, Dr Dre, Snoop Dogg, Lady of Rage, Xscape, Jodeci, Mary j Blige. Jay Z, Puffy, 112 and a host of others all performed for me and I have made long lasting connects to this day!

I could not have lasted this long without my brothers earlier input and I thank them enormously. We were the original A Team! All of the DJ’s, I thank you but special mention must be given to Fat Freddie M, who was there from the beginning and guided us through the early groundbreaking times. I had a team that consisted of 1 lawyer, 1 accountant, 2 solicitors and 1 book-keeper. The A squad. I would never name them as I will be working with them into the future!!!

I have seen Brixton change in a way that will ultimately benefit the new demographic that has colonised great swathes of this beautiful area. It is though ironic that the new inward investment did not come when an altogether different demographic was in the majority! Oh well.

I have also seen the influx of new venues catering to that new demographic whom I am certain will get all the help they need from Brixton police unlike other venues who catered for the original demographic in this area who received only condemnation. Being a black business owner in the night time economy you realise very quickly that you are on your own. You also realise that your business can be destroyed at anytime by circumstances completely outside of your control.

You realise also that this system is antithetical to black advancement. You will never be called a ‘nigger’ or a ‘black bas***d’ by those in authority. It is far more subtle than that. They hide behind legislation and smile as they deliver the Brutus like piercing to your back all whilst professing ‘admiration’ for your efforts.

The Fridge Bar will not be returning but we might be in a couple of years if I remain healthy and I can overcome the politics. It is said that ‘behind every good man is an even better woman’. I thank my partner for her unbelievable faith, belief and defence of me, no matter what was thrown at me. I have a couple more hurdles to overcome and then hopefully I can enjoy a well earned break.

I know that despite the brickbats, the set backs and the hypocrisy I am lucky. I have my gifted children who are a credit to this country and more importantly their father. I am very lucky. I will still be about Brixton but happy for the break!!

I will be writing a fairly hard hitting book that covers my time whilst at the Fridge Bar with NOTHING held back and no topic will be homogenised. But for now all I wish to say is ‘thank you’.
