If you haven’t already heard or read on up the latest local drama this morning, San Diegans of all shades are currently in outrage after a recent screenshot of a text conversation was recently leaked and hit the web. With what appears to be an obvious dislike and bansihment towards African Americans, the conversation comes from someone by the name of “Doug” who is allegedlly affiliated with one of San Diego’s most popular night spots, Belo Nightclub. Belo is no stranger to attention after multiple years of incidents, most recently for being ripped for what happened at the 2chainz concert. As you can see the conversation starts with a request to “Limit The Black People!!!” but then takes and unexpected turn when the demand changes to “No Blk People Period”. As a proud Black man, father, and friend, I can definitely say anger reaches it’s climax as I read on – although I have hosted, shot, co-promoted, and even been kicked out of Belo, I am not going to pass judgement on Belo or “Doug” right away. All the facts aren’t there and since that’s the case rather than looking for someone to be angry at, I have decided to take upon myself to do a little research on this. I admire the attempts on trying to hide “Doug’s” identity as well, but his contact number is clearly visible which should make it easy for the his remarks to be clarified which is what I plan to do. I also plan on going to get some answers from Mike Viscuso(owner) and/or Crystal Higgins(sale exec.). They are all about their image so a little bit of positive PR to clear this issue up shouldn’t be problem, right? If “Doug” is legit, he’ll probably lose his job before you finish reading this post and Belo will issue a statement of a denial of affiliation longer than the Nile River or they’ll give us a Barry Bonds apology stating how sorry they are and “we didn’t knowingly harbor racist like “Doug” & his claims are completely false”…Look forward to this getting real interesting b/c I do. I’ll keep you all posted
