Live where you wish but your bread does get its butter from “D”. Is Wick going to start a new magazine “P”?
Why not invest your time and energies in helping “D”isd versus “P”isd.
Have you investigated a school or cluster in “D”isd? I have now had TWO go through “D”isd and received over 38 hours in AP credits with an A.
All these arguments make no difference, apparently some children cannot learn alongside “THOSE CHILDREN”
I hope your child will learn much in “P”, meanwhile look in the mirror, what is she learning from you?

If you don’t want to be considered a thug, then don’t dress like a gangbanger. You can’t go out of your way to convey one message and then claim racism when your message gets across.

It’s obviously a problem or the owner wouldn’t have implemented the rule.

@ SB

By thugs I’m guessing that you mean black people… especially in light of the fact that white people who are in violation of the dress code are still being allowed inside the club.

So it’s a “good business move” to suddenly alienate and discriminate against more than half of your established clientele? I see. Makes perfect sense. That should work out great for everybody.

Humor us, SB. Tell us the difference between a thug and somebody who just happens to be wearing a plain white t-shirt.

@ Who Stole the Soul –

So the Slip Inn is trying to keep out thugs. Sounds like a good business move to me.

There was, as is always (well almost) a lot of logic in Trey’s ‘leave no concealed handgun un-****ed’ piece. But there was also plenty of room for my Op-Ed DMN bookend to it. I didn’t write it to conflict with Trey’s column, but rather to shall we say offer some alternative consideration. Sure to get the over-30-on-Dreher’s ‘Are You Autistic’ test to swarm like roaches in a rent house. Tal vez.

Speaking of diversity (re: conformity) in East Dallas, someone should ask the owner of the dive bar Slip Inn about his strict new dress code that includes the following: no white t-shirts, no shorts below the knee, no gold chains, no sideways baseball caps, no jerseys, no jumpsuits (?) and about twenty other items that are, interestingly enough, synonymous with hip-hop culture.

White sheets with pointed hoods are still OK, I suppose.

RS looks as if Tim wrote the headline, not I.

Are you inviting Trey to live in your home? Because I seriously doubt anyone from Plano is ‘prepared for living in a such professional, high-paying world’.

BTW what is the Park Cities version of diversity? Fiesta Day or Thug Day?

Trey, we’ve just completed our secret voting session, and on behalf of the Park Cities, I’d like to extend you an invitation to visit or move here any time you want.

Hates diversity, DU? Sounds like he hates it when others try to impose their definition of diversity. That’s hard to disagree with.

The irony about the piece: Trey hates diversity but they still won’t accept him in the Park Cities because he lives in Plano.
