Real remedy? Chiefs tight end plans race discrimination complaint
Chiefs tight end Jonathan K Hayes plans to file a race discrimination complaint after nine black players were denied entry to Hutchinson's City Lights nightclub. Club owners cited capacity limits, while local residents report more discrimination cases. The city human relations office has no police powers and urges filing with the Kansas Civil Rights Commission, which has previously fined a landlord for racial discrimination. The piece argues that legal remedies are limited and real change requires individuals to conquer personal biases.
