Is London's nightclub scene institutionally racist?

Protesters accuse a club of denying entry to a group of black women for "being too dark". A manager at the venue says that no one is turned away because of race. But Londoners claim this incident is typical of the local club scene. Frances Acquaah is editor at LIVE magazine. She tells Bola Mosuro that she has been barred from entry to several nightclubs because of the colour of her skin.
