Charleston Nightclub Sparks Outrage Over 'Whites-Only' Admittance Policy 😡

Over 200 complaints about racist entrance policies have been plaguing one Charleston, South Carolina nightclub for weeks. The club has responded to the uproar, but some people are still skeptical.


Deco Nightclub in Charleston is making waves in the news lately. Unfortunately for the establishment, they're not the hottest club to talk about because people are having a great time dancing to amazing music and having an excellent customer experience. In fact, several of the negative reviews are from people who never even made it inside of the club––because they were turned away at the door in incidents tons of people are calling racism.

Club employees routinely cite dress code as a reason to turn people away, but several witnesses have refuted that. One even told a news outlet:

"It wasn't about who's best dressed, because white people with flip-flops and tattered jeans were getting in, and black people with Sunday dress wear weren't."

Their reviews are filled with stories of fake "membership" cards, dress codes that only apply to people of color, and outright lying by staff members.

Evidently, this has been a problem from the beginning.

The club has responded by releasing a statement saying they are discontinuing any membership programs and have removed some staff, while retraining others. Most people don't buy the apology, though.

We want to know what you think. Is retraining staff enough of a response for a club with such a lengthy and well-documented history of racist treatment?

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
