that union pool story is not even close to an isolated incident. they don't hide it; they don't like black people, hispanic people, asian people and i'm sure if an arab person went in there they'd take two hours to serve him or her too. i have no idea why people continue to go there in general because the staff is so insanely rude and it's just a shit hole. Union Pool represents everything that's wrong with williamsburg. it's a terrible place and the fact that shit like that can keep happening in a neighborhood that's supposed to be one of the most liberal and forward thinking in America and NOT have some action taken against it is beyond me.

A million vegan restaurants, anti-bush protests and animal-cruelty shops (which is awesome and respectable) but at the same time, human rights should be a top priority as well.

"human rights should be a top priority as well. "

You're screaming human rights over Union Pool? For all anyone knows you're the owner of a competing bar orchestrating a smear campaign against the place. Why should anyone take you seriously?

"they don't hide it; they don't like black people, hispanic people, asian people and i'm sure if an arab person went in there they'd take two hours to serve him or her too. "

Show me the sign on the wall. You make it sound like the $10/hour bartenders were hired using the KKK job placement service. Sounds a little too over the top to be true if you ask me.

it's incredible how obsessed people still are with that Thriller video.

Why? It sucks.

I honestly can't think of anything about that video that sucks...

And re: Union Pool, to quote Yogi: nobody goes there anymore; it's too crowded.

day tracing's got a good point...

Old enough to know how stupid videos are, in general.

since when do NYC bartenders get $10 an hour?
the going rate is $35-$40 for the entire shift & whatever tips the make on top.

This year it will make more sense to repeat the Thriller theme.
