Should nightclubs be able to turn black people away?

that's a good point shakran.
If there was a "face code" in clubs, I see it as a form of discrimination. It is something the person cannot choose, and also it is a very sensitive point for most people. Just seems wrong, however you look at it. Somehow, it also sounds like there may be a good legal reason why that would not be allowed. But I'm not a lawyer so I couldn't say.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are

Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
