American Rapper 'Ribkat' Is Discriminated Againt At A Hotel In Thailand 'Because He Is Black'
Tom Kidd

(BANGKOK THAILAND)- SEPTEMBER 22, 2010 - The Rapper/ artist "Ribkat" and band members are asked to leave their Hotel "Nasa Vegas Complex Luxury Hotel" in Bangkok because as they were told by the hotel manager "they had to respect the Hotel policy" which is to discriminate against blacks and Indians". The hotel staff and manager also refused to refund the amount they paid up front for their hotel rooms.

"Ribkat", a well known member of the multi-platinum selling group "Fort Minor" with Mike Shinoda from Linkin Park was told by the Hotel Manager that they did not allow blacks or Indians at their Hotel.

"Ribkat" asked them why they accepted his payment in the first place if this was part of their racist policy. Nasa Vegas advertises long term stay deals which is exactly what Ribkat was inquiring about to begin with due to several business engagements in Thailand only to be lied to by the Nasa Vegas staff stating that there were no rooms available for long term rent which in the end turned out to be a big fat lie all because Ribkat is an African American.

"Ribkat" a hip hop artist preparing for several performances in Thailand and a deal for his soon to be released album "Theory of Addicts" with Josy B. has now been publicly humiliated with the most outrageous blatant form of racism that he will now have to postpone all of his public appearances and performances to resolve this unfortunate ignorant issue.

His friends and Thailand hosts were in complete shock, one of his hosts called the hotel and asked if the hotel room was available and they confirmed with her that it was, but only to her because she was not black. Ribkats drummer who is white and his female friend who is Thai, couldn't help but notice how Ribkat was constantly singled out and always had the fingers pointing at him with the entire hotel staff uttering comments such as "The Black People are bad and Always Cause Trouble" and "The Black People Never Pay or check out of the Hotel and they're too loud and Dangerous and they sell drugs"

His Drummer and Friend were immediately shocked by such blunt stereotypical racism and felt equally offended. The entire Hotel Staff showed no respect or courtesy to the star and insisted on telling him to respect they're racist policy because its in their "Law Books to discriminate". As a result of this, the U.S embassy and police were immediately notified of the discriminating acts that were cast upon the International star and have now addressed the Thai media in efforts to resolve this incident along with compensation and a public apology. The Thailand Police department and associates expressed their sympathy and sorrow and were completely ashamed by what has just taken place.

"Ribkat" who has been received greatly and greeted by fans in the streets of Bangkok was completely surprised by all of this and does not feel that the rest of the people in Thailand hold these type of sentiments towards African Americans or any other foreigners visiting their country and extends an Olive Branch in the hopes that this was only an isolated incident from misguided individuals working in this Hotel and looks forward to completing his scheduled performances and enjoying his extended stay in Thailand in good faith simply hoping that this will be a wake up call to the entire world.

"Although many of us are misguided and blinded by the plague of racism, we are all "One" and the beauty of being "One" which to many appears to be a small number, is the amazing magical variety of a beautiful color spectrum that exists amongst us all by nature, so in actuality, that "small" number of "one" contains a lot more than we all think. Colors are not only seen but they are also heard. If music was monotone or only "one color", then we would not be able to appreciate the beauty of "All" different genres of music created by Multi Cultural races of color around the world. With that being said, why don't we as "One" try "Listening" to color and feeling with our hearts for a change rather than judging a color simply by sight missing the message of beauty and all it truly contains within". "Ribkat" quotes....

He has to postpone all his public appearances because one hotel doesn't want black people, tosser.

surprised by all of this and does not feel that the rest of the people in Thailand hold these type of sentiments towards African Americans or any other foreigners visiting their country

Perhaps he should spend a bit longer here and learn about Thai's and their lack of tolerance towards chocolate men

As a result of this, the U.S embassy and police were immediately notified of the discriminating acts that were cast upon the International star

Typical tosser american, just get another hotel tosser.

[FarangRed]

tell him not to worry because Thai's are racist amongst themselves by the colour of the skin

[Mr Gribbs]

These kind of actions show the Thais have been influenced by Westerners. The Westerners don't want the blacks to rain on their parade and steal "their" women, so they tell the Thais how bad they are. The thought of more blacks and Middle Easterners going to these countries terrify them.

[dirtydog]

Could any non americans even think about wasting their time complaining to their embassy if a hotel doesn't let you in due to color? Jees, yanks are such pussys, I think next time I come across anything racist I shall phone the Brit embassy, I can guess their reply already.

Gribbs , with out a doubt you have the broadest brush going

Gribbs , with out a doubt you have the broadest brush going

You know it is true, the white Westerners are scared shitless of blacks and Middle Easterners going into Asia, they want to keep it as a playground for themselves, its petty jealousy.

American Blacks are the worst whiners on the planet, nothing is ever their fault. True freedom is the right to only do business with and associate with those people you want to, and no one else.
Get another hotel, stupid!

I wouldn't see why it would bother you so much, since it doesn't invovle you. Do you think the nigger is going to start some kind of revolution in Thailand, or are you just obsessed with America and Americans? You don't ever complain about corruption or double standards in Thailand?

[dirtydog]

^If I phoned the Brit embassy to complain about something as petty as this they would most likely hang up thinking they have some nutter on the phone, if they didn't hang up they would probably tell me to grow some fuxking balls and deal with it.

[BobR]

When I see a bar that says Japanese Only, it would never occur to me to want to force my way in. I know many of the hotels here refuse to rent to Nigerians or Algerians, but they usually do rent to blacks from the USA or UK.

[Mid]

You know it is true

au contraire , it is nothing of the sort .

[dirtydog]

When I see a bar that says Japanese Only,

Got to admit I have never thought about trying to get into one of those, didn't even phone my embassy about it either, lets hope ribkat don't pass one of those places.

[Mr Lick]

Could be just a publicity stunt, he's not on wiki and maybe just a superstar in his own lunchtime. At promotion rates starting at 690 baht for a deluxe room at the Nasa Vegas, he can never be accused of exactly pushing the boat out.

Not sure about the racist issue as the hotel is not discriminating against americans just black people, more of a 'colour' issue.

Maybe his team knew the policy at the hotel , knew there would be a problem and saw an opportunity of free publicity.

[Mid]

maybe IF the hotel had refunded his deposit things may have been different ?

Do you actually believe this shit?

[dirtydog]

Assume they paid by credit card so they would refund the credit card, they probably asked for cash.

[dirtydog]

Maybe this could be a start to help ribkat

[Mid]

The hotel staff and manager also refused to refund the amount they paid up front for their hotel rooms.

strawman DD

[dirtydog]

Must have paid by credit card whilst in the states, credit cards skim 4 percent, they aint gonna pay them back in cash, so most likely refunded the credit card or cancelled the transaction.

[Mid]

your projecting what is not there , whilst your theory is a possibility it remains unknown and the article states no refund was tendered .

[mingmong]

day probly heard his Music Mon and day can't take da Rapp [ pun intended ]

I went Bali once with a Girl from Timor, she was refused entry at a Nightclub but not me, the place was Bombed several months latter...............
