I don't doubt that. It's just that it's been going on for years! I remember my cousin weeping into my mother's lap because she couldn't get into a club in the West End. Was it because she was Jewish? No... it was because she was a female and apparently not 'hot' enough. I don't see this as an insult to black women, I see it as an insult to women in general, it's not any worse because they're black.
