I have been to this club several times and they would not hire any black entertainers. I have been told by men of all races that i should work at Platinum Plus, but they will not hire me. There are probably a total of 3 black girls working there from what i was told. I was also told (by a white man) that the white women look like shit. I have been to plenty of black clubs and we do not discriminate against anyone.
Let me give you some back ground on this complaint. Well over a year ago the owner/managers changed their hiring policy. Ethnicity on their page was changed from mixed to white. They decided to not let any more black dancers work there. All existing blacks were given grandfather rights. There are more than 3 dancers that qualify. It is hard to estimate how many black dancer are currently working there. It is just as hard to estimate how many total dancers work there. I would say that if there were 25 dancers on shift, 3 would be black.
The reason for this policy change is to stop drug use and trafficking within the club. I am sorry to say that the black community has this reputation. I had a favorite white dancer that got kicked out for heroin use ITC. Her source was another white dancer. I have 2 black dancers on my favorites list. I am reasonably sure that one of them is using drugs. A year ago 2 dancers drove down from NYC to work at the club. One white. The other black. The black was not allowed to work and spent an 8 hour shift as a customer. So the policy is being enforced.
There is also a dress code in effect. If you come dressed like one of the "boyz in the hood", you ain't getting in.I personally witnessed this at the front door. The male customer objected and pointed out how I was dressed (shorts and T-shirt). He still didn't get in.
I personally don't think the policy will prevent the use ITC. Dancers and customers can still get drugs before coming to the club. Black dancers will still be on my favorites list but on the other hand I would not like to see the club become GHETTO.
There are some heated issues involved in this policy. Whether you agree or disagree the question is. Is this a legitimate review? Should TUSCL allowed it to be published. I think not.
