http://www.detnews.com/apps/pb cs.dll/article?AID=/20071012/M ETRO/710120405&imw=Y A local DJ and party promoter retreated Thursday from a plan to sponsor a bash that would let "light-skinned" black women into a downtown club for free. But the "Light Skin Libra Birthday Bash" at Club APT on Woodward Avenue turned out to be a bashing -- of promoter Ulysses "DJ Lish" Barnes after word of the unusual party spread on the Internet. | ||

The ruler test was something done back in the day to keep people without straight hair out of certain organizations. | ||

Funny thing is I just found one of the flyer's from this in my car, they were passing them out in front of the Apt. a couple weeks ago just as they were closing. I cant see anything on this water damaged flyer but did it exclude non light skinned guys as well? | ||

Wow. Would this qualify as a "black on black" crime or just sheer and utter stupidity perpetrated by an insensitive brother on undeserving sisters ? If the promoter is African-American is it still racist ? | ||
