HARVARD Kids Shut It Down!!!

This makes me sad:

"A party for black Harvard and Yale alums at a Boston club this weekend was shut down just after 11pm. Why? The club owner was concerned that a long line of black people outside would make the club look bad."

Details and a letter from "Michael and Kwame" at the link below.

Awful that this happened, but the somewhat elitist tone of the email struck a nerve with me and is clouding my judgment on this one. The writer seems more insulted that the club would dare to think that any negative behavior could come from Harvard and Yale alums. Perish the thought. I think I need to get the bitter taste left from the email out of my system before I can re-evaluate this one.
