IITS NOT THE COULER OF THEIR
SKIN- ITS HOW THEY ARE BEHAVING, LOUD AND WITHOUT ANY
CONSIDERATION FOR OTHER PEOPLE.
Im white and i think that it is rubbish that monaco was
closed i agree that the mess is a problem but they could
have reached an understanding
I hate people hiding behind their pigmentation! Trash is
trash, white or black. If owners cant control their patrons
then they must lose out.
Safety is a concern. Why always make it a racial concern if
there is a problem!
For the record: Im a white woman. There has always been a
problem in the streets there, not just since the club has
opened!
What crap clubs all over get closed why is now racist - what
TRUTH?
Poor journalism thats one sided, SABC! Not watching your
program anymore.
im a white man 20 years old i think that it is a free
country black. blue. red. green
Condemning bad behaviour does not equal racism.
Thats the most biased special assignment episode ive ever
seen! I generally find the show very informative and
objective.
Disgraceful racism from a chauvanist, sexist fool
Why can't we just accept the fact that we r all brothers and
live in peace racism is over-rated !?
The footage used in the program is not of the relevant
parking lot
Honesttly i dont see why they should shut Monaco for no good
reason and leave dirty clubs like Teazers still in operation
its pure racism
Its not about black or white people or white people who
wants to close it. ITS A DRUG VALLY AND UNSAFE! ! !
the whites are making it so hard 4 themselves in this
country by being racist.
this makes me angry. Its time white people accepted their
south africanness - maybe theyd discover a whole new
experience.
My right to swing my fist ends where your face begins. Race
should not become a licence or excuse to behave in a way
that harms others.
IF A NIGHTCLUB NEGATIVLY AFFECTS THE OTHER ENTERTAINMENT
VENUES, CLOSE IT DOWN. HOTDOG STAND VS. LARGE RESTAURANT?
THERES NO COMPERASON.
Whites need places where they can be amongst people of their
own culture. South Africans must understand that our
different cultures will never mix
Never before was my intellegence so insulted by obviously
biased reporting. Hurry for an un- biased broadcasting
corporation!!
The planned closing down of Monaco is indicative of the
prevailing racism in SA and its shameful!
Most of the people inteviewed 4 Monaco are foreign. Others
pay rent the street vendors arent welcome, they litter, this
is not a squatter camp.
Ive already experienced racism at a club. We were the only 3
coloured guys at a club in Midrand & were forced 2 pay at a
club thats normally free.
Not a true representation. Did you expect ANY misbehavior
with TV cameras rolling? Visit the areas with couvert
cams...
Im a boere girl. So teasers is a club for decent whities.
Thats bull. I rather be seen in monaco, than teasers.
Polititians r quiet, we as youth need 2 b vocal
Integrity and respect for others is the key words for
success and not blaming aparheid.
Black people (or any race) must realize people are judged on
their behaviour, not the colour of their skin. If they are
unruly and litter and carry on like thugs, they will never
be welcomed by composed members of any society.
racism as a generation problem - intolerance to the youths
prefered method of relaxation and entertainment.
more needs to be done to promote acceptance of diversity
before our country will be truely renewed.
Very, subjective, as the national broadcaster I wouldve
expected you to give the facts and leave it to the
individual to draw their own conclusion
BOYCOTT RIVONIA UNTIL MONACO RETURNS. TWO GRANNIES SANDTON
wev seen n heared from 2nites episode but whos gona do a
ting if platforms lyk parliarment r ignoring such issues of
late, whilst the only ting such issues do 2 youths lyk us is
2 invoke spirits dat raised giants lyk Biko 2 fight 4 tru
fridom. da struggle continues!!
Racist stereotypes mar our society. I shudder 2 think tht
wev ignorant people who signed a strip club owners petition
& made him their voice?
ironic a strip club trashing a black club. what about drunk
white guys behaving badly? have worked in the industry and
enjoy going clubing have seen the good and bad of white &
black clubs why cant they just come up with a solution that
would benifit all without pulling the race card
That was a completely biased piece of journalism. It is
disappointing to think that that constitutes as fair
comment. It was a one sided attack by a journalist who
clearly knew which angle she was going to pursue before
doing adequate research. I do not disagree that racism
exists in ALL areas-but that was not even an IMPLIED assault
on whites so much as a blatant attack. No wonder racism
still exists.
to not take responsibility outside your club and allow
people to run amock only reduces the area to little or on
business
interests & beliefs & values r the issue maybe a club aimed
at exuberant younger folk is out of place in an area
established 2 serving upper middle clas
you will find this has nothing to do with colour and more to
do with safety of residents! As a media representive you are
fueling fires of racial tension rather than acting
responsibly and reporting nuetraly
Not racialy unacceptable but socially unacceptable -
urinating. breaking of bottles & vending io the streets?
UNACCEPTABLE! HULIGANISM SUCKS BIG TIME!!
whinin whites! u shame me as a white. why stop others fun?
oh it must be so patrons lower themselves at teasers or like
u drive your cars way ove+ +r limits.
