"Went there today only to be treated as peasants, just because of our skin color. The security guard wouldn't even let us in.Two black petite ladies peacefully trying to take pictures, treated terribly. Called two other guys to monitor our movements until we left. So sad this is still happening in 2024! As if being black is a plague!"
