How to spot a bullshit story.
Look for sentences like: "I thought about contacting the 3 others who wear kicked out of the house but I didn’t remember their names and thought that tracking them down would probably bring unwanted attention. "
The author has described a music industry gathering where "decision makers" were evicted from a meeting but "does not remember their names" which implies he did know the names and was afraid to track them down "for fear of attracting attention"
look for phrases like
"could have heard a pin drop"
"I remember" do you?
" looking around to make sure I wasn’t dreaming" Really?
" saw half of the people with dropped jaws."
" My daze was interrupted"
In order to believe this story you would have to accept 1) everyone at the "music industry" meeting was a racist.

But ask yourself if you are Ted Fields/Bob Cort (Interscope) or Edgar Bronfman (Warner Electra Asylum) whether you'd propagate this in such a way as to create dozens of witness to the same event each able to confirm others stories.
NDAs have some utility in preventing people from making public statements for which they may be held legally accountable. NDAs do not stop people from gossiping in private.
This is a bullshit story designed to undercut the truth that the music industry has done as much to destroy blacks as the narcotic it glorifies.
