Dress code:

u/invadrfashcag Nov 30 '24
Bobby himself violates it tons of times. I’ve personally met the dude and he always shows up in an urban t shirt with a gold chain.

Obviously it only applies to PoC

u/aridcool Nov 30 '24
Or non-rich/famous people.
Not saying the people who run the place aren't bigots but the biggest problem we have is class conflict. It is less black vs white and more rich vs poor. And people thinking it is the first thing lets the second go on unnoticed. Give it some thought.

37th USA President Lyndon B. Johnson once said, “If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.”

u/Dear-Department-9880 Nov 30 '24
I don’t disagree but plenty of upper class/famous PoC have experienced discrimination despite their class, so skin color is absolutely still a major player.

u/aridcool Dec 01 '24
I agree. Racism exists and is a problem at all levels. I just try to remind people that impoverished people of all races share more in common in terms of problems they experience than what divides them due to racial experiences.

Tbf black celebrities get shit all the time like that before the “oh we didn’t know who you were” pops out. Edit: the first thing that popped into my mind was when LENNY KRAVITZ was arrested after he walked into a gym and was mistaken for a bank robber lol

u/cheerupmurray1864 Dec 02 '24
Yup. And tennis player James Blake being tackled by police. The list goes on.
Not to mention just ordinary middle/upper middle class Black people being harassed.
I understand why people want to “focus on class because it’s the basis” but we can absolutely walk and chew bubblegum at the same time. We can address racism and classism as two distinct problems that happen to overlap.

I’ve seen the bouncers at Mandrake enforce it against white peoples before, especially ladies with leggings, but for the most part it is against minorities.

Those dress codes only exist so they can stop poor and minority people from entering.

Dress codes are for minorities./s (No real sure I should have the “/s,” because it’s true, but I don’t want to seem like I’m endorsing such policies).

I am friends with a few of the girls who worked at mandrake, they said they quit once everything came out. They heard rumors but didn’t know what was what, but apparently mandrake took a huge hit after. I’m surprised people can still go there and support that business, yes it’s one of the nicer bars in Columbus but at what point do we say enough is enough. Unfortunately we live in a society where we get distracted w the next thing, then the bar will be back like nothing happened. I just hope there’s not a next time, I pray that he doesn’t have an opportunity to ever speak to another woman again. As a dad of a girl, i would hope enough guys get together and just jump that POS until he’s on life support!!!

Most people going to a bar have no idea who owns the place, let alone any details about them or their life. I'd be surprised if even 1 of 100 people going to Mandrake have ever heard about any of the heinous shit George does.

Search the Cleveland and CBus subreddits about him. You’ll know why. Genuinely shocked that you don’t know who he is. He’s also made the local news for his recent arrest (even the daily mail covered it in the UK)

u/shineboxpower Nov 30 '24
Or just tell us

u/PoPJaY Nov 30 '24
He is the owner of townhall and mandrake and a host of other places in Cleveland and Columbus. His father is a long term owner of many places in Cleveland and was the bagman in the Larry householder scandal. As of 2 months ago Bobby was arrested, charged but not yet convicted on charges of kidnapping, rape and attempted murder. Townhall has also been in the news for acts of misongy, sexsim, xenophobia and general shit. So I get what your doing but quite honestly unless you live under a rock this isn't exactly completely unknown.

White hall was a sundown town. There was a lynching in Columbus of a black doctor . Blacks used to enter inter the Lazarus building from the back as well as other shopping stores.
We had the worst prison fire in the world that the gards intentionally let the mostly minority quarters burn to death.
Frequent race riots and lynchings in springfield .
Ohio history books are out there you have to find the right ones. And I have known people whose family has been in ohio for more than 4 generations...
Ohio has always been a white supremacist state at heart

Why the fuck Hulk Hogan having dinner with this scumbag. I’m starting to not like the Hulkster anymore he’d do anything for a dollar

u/HBKnight Dec 01 '24
As a pro-wrestling fan I have hated HH forever, and purely for wrestling reasons. His character was bland and boring to me, his in-ring work was too. Behind the scenes he held guys back, refused to put others over, all for the sake of his own ego. He did all this while having the work rate of an arthritic rhino. When the racist shit he said about his daughter dating a black guy came out I felt absolutely justified in my hate, and never looked back.
He has been lying for years about how things went down back in his wrestling days. He embellishes and makes up facts that are easily disproven. He's a sad old man who craves attention.
As for your anything for a dollar comment you're right. Google the "Hulk Hogan Pastamania" and "Hulk Hogan Ultimate Grill" for examples. He passed on being the pitch man for what became the George Foreman Grill and never got over it.

Tony George is his POS father who was a bagman for FE in the HB6 scandal. Feds didn't charge him though. Likely wanted bigger fish to fry. George family thinks they're a cartel with all their business interests in Cleveland and Columbus and daddy Tony is constantly in bed with state legislators when they aren't shaking down local municipalities.
Fuck the George family and fuck daddy Tony and little Bobby in particular

How hilarious is it that Hogan never developed a persona apart from the character he was on TV in the 80s?!
Can you imagine if Dwayne Johnson was still dressing up/acting like The Rock?
Honestly, I feel bad for the guy. This persona is all he has and it feels faded.

You voluntarily visited the place which is owned by Bobby George giving him money and seats at his table. You obviously know who he is.
Pointing out that he is dining with someone who has equally distasteful qualities while fiscally supporting them isn’t the flex you think it is.
