in watching the {e! entertainment network} show called "wild on", (as I have for the past 7 years), as the producers, cast, & crew, go about doing their reviews, for the very best places that you can go, (be it here in the u.s.a., or overseas), regarding vacationing, recreation, visiting, touring, places of entertainment, dinning, nightlife, & nightclubing, i just recently noticed that in their doing their reviews regarding any and all of the above mentioned subjects, i took notice, that while I see anglo males and females, {be they of the u.s.a., or any overseas country), as well as females of all races and colors, (the same), enjoying themselves, engaging in any, or all of the above mentioned subjects, even "partying", & "having a goodtime",
I noticed that in this show, very rarely do they show black, & asian minority males engaging in any or all of the above mentioned subject, doing the same, and enjoying themselves.... as if to intentionally omit black & asian men from such reviews, as well as interviews, giving the subliminal indication, that as either or both, in being a black & or asian male, you are not wanted as a patron, to patronize a business, that procure in any or all of the above mentioned subjects... Unlike anglo males, females & females of all races and colors, are allowed, privied, and privleged to do so.... in thinking that it may just be my perception as well as point of view regarding the matter, i set forth to call & speak with the producers of "wild on", regarding the matter, investigating if their intentional omitting of black & asian males is just a oversight, and not met as a overt & openly racist intent, in their past & present progaming of "wild on"......
In asking the inquiry, I was met with much hostility from many of the female & male show producers, treating the matter with apathy, {even delight} as to what it was that i was alleging.. being told that if i have any such inquiries to adddress in discovering racism in their programming, to: *contact their legal advisor, speaking with him on the matter. * consult with a cosumer advocate agency, or civil right commission, * don't watch the show, any further..
obviously, they feel the last step will prevent me from being angry, regarding the matter, as well as help them save face, on having to answer on why their omit {single} black & asian from their show.... i didn't contact them any further, and sought to find a differently reply, regarding this matter, in contacing the businesses themselves.... mango's tropical cafe, was the first that I have contacted, in a very long list of companies that have ever appeared on "wild on"....
For the last 2 weeks of november, & all of december, i had tried to contact the owner of mango's tropical cafe, but had not been successful, & was only allowed to speak with a hispanic female "assisant", subordianate of his, by the name of aline mole... (Pronounced aleena mole-lay}
whom i address the matter to, telling her of my concerns, and the way that {i thought} "wild on", was innappropropriately, depicting their nightclubs, as a place where it seems that anglo males & anglo females cam come to, as well as females of all races and colors, but excluding black males and asian males... she assured me that was not the case & that mango's ownwers, (whom are the owners dave & sister barbara wallack), do not condone, uphold, nor support discrimination toward males of any race or color, and that black and asian males are welcomed to patronize their nightclub.....
I thanked her for the views as to black & asian male patonage to their nightclub, but wanted to know if i could speak with the owner, (dave wallack), more on the matter, and was told to call at random to reach him on the subject.... i tried for the entire month of december, to get this joker on the phone, but was given one excuse after the other, and concluded, that he just did not want to speak to me on the matter... instead, i got his rude, hateful, curt cantankerous sister, whom asked me as to what the problem was, and if she could help..
I gave her a chance to try & help me, but she became rude in the respect to the issue that i was addressing to her, with her telling me that if i din't want her help to hang up & not to call again, if i wasn't perpaired to discuse the issue at hand i had.... i told her if that is what she wanted to do, she could do it, as she seems to be the one overly hostile about the entire affair, than i was.... she then preceeded to slam the phone in my ear.... after which this matter just esclated, with me being insulted and hung up on, by every hispanic male & female staff person, leaving the issue, still un-resolved.... before all of this, i have given this mole character my e-mail address, as to where here owner could contact me, which he did, sending to me some very caustic replies, even fabrications, that i had threatend his evil, no good sister, which isn't true....
(i have mp3 recorded file to prove so, in all of the conversations that I have had with the oners and hispanic male & female staff of mango's, indicating that there were never any threats made to anyone there: the only threat that i made, was that i would tell any, & all consumer services about them, as well as any and all investigative television reporter show that would be willing to listien to me)... I don't think that such a business should enjoy properity as this one is, in being so openly racist, in mistreating black & asian male patron to it's business... though there is absolutly nothing i can do in censuring this business, i thought that there would be someway that you could help, in getting the word out, that this particular nightclub in {south beach} miami florida is a place to be avoide at all cost, by black 7 asian males....
not because i don't want them going there
to have a goodtime, but i feel that they wouldn't and would only be mistreated by the staff, {male & female} as well as by anglo male & female patrons that frequent there.... i hope that you can help me in this matter....

You should also sue the BET network for lack of white, hispanic and asian representation. I noticed the Fillipino cahnnel in my area had not one white character for the entire length of the program! And to top that off I saw a McDonalds commercial the other day showing a black empoyee working the register. How dare they try and say blacks are only good for minimum wage work?! See where I'm going with this? You're being over-sensitve and borderline paranoid in your thoughts over this show. Lighten up a little, I'm sure it's nothing intentional. Hell, if it bothers you that bad, why not find another show to watch?

If your speaking voice is anything like your writing voice, it's no wonder you were treated so rudely on the telephone. Your posting has so many grammatical mistakes and lack of correct punctuation/capitalization/spelling, that it's near impossible to comprehend. If that's the way you speak in person, the people at Mango's probably had no idea what you were talking about and just hung up on you, thinking you were a bumbling idiot. I agree with Dan, though. Quit trying to find racism in every aspect of life. It's like the man that sued Hooter's because they wouldn't hire him as a waiter. Get over yourself and get a life.

Your claims of "racism" on the club or on the part of the E! network are not only baseless, but completely ridiculous! People like you have nothing better to do with their time than to look in every nook and cranny for any hint of racism you can find. (Be it real or imagined.) You know why nobody from the network or show wanted to talk with you? Because saying two words to you about it would result in a firestorm of crap from you. "Well someone said the wrong thing to me. Better get Jesse Jackson on the phone, there weren't enough homosexual eskimos on Talk Soup last night." You want to fight racism? Lead a productive life. Make sure your children grow up and become productive. Don't live up to the stereotypes. If you see something racist, rise above it. That's the only way you're going to get ahead in this world.

So you viewed a show that featured a club and you didn't observe black and asian men in the club. You did see women of different color, so you have been calling and harrasing the employees every since. You say the place should not be in business, because they don't want to talk with you about this. Get A Life!
