With Respect to Race …

I worked here and my experience has been one racist and prejudice one. The clientele of this chain is convinced that big breasted white women are normal people and anyone who looks different is "exotic" or of another kind. Men have told me that I should get off the stage because stripping was for white women, they have insulted me when I would not let them touch me, they have told me that they didnt do lap dances with "my kind" when I asked if they wanted one. One client referred to me as exotic and when I proceeded to explain why it wasn't a compliment..... he blew his cigar smoke in my face. I have been discriminated against, and dehumanized many of times by clientele but this company is convinced that I am the one whose bullshit they put up with. I have had to take matters into my own hands because they believe whatever the customer tells them with investigating the situation. They care more about customers who are not spending money anways than their employees or dancers who make that damn clubs what they are. They went as far as to "apologize" to the customer on my behalf and offer him a free drink or free pass just so they wouldn't "take it personal" and come back to visit. It WAS personal. This company attracts some of the most racist, prejudice and ignorant people on the face of this planet yet they treated me as if I was the stupid one.
Im definitely not stupid. I know what goes on in this world and how it works. They plastered pictures of white girls on the walls when the majority of girls who work there are black. they started calling in white girls from other clubs because they majority of girls who work there are black. they're thing is they can't have too many black girls working and for Mardi Gras this past year they sent the black girls home who clocked in after there were all ready "too many" on the floor. Even if we had worked there for a long time we still got sent home because "there were too many black girls on the floor".
This is one racist chain of clubs. they pretend to be your friend until money is involved. Its a business.... I understand, but the way they do business is unethical.
fuck this club.

Club staff may feel, for business reasons, they have to be apologetic to customers who don't deserve it. But the ethical and smart thing is for them to take the dancer aside and say "sorry, we know you had a point".

I can believe that of the NOLA that I visited in 1963. Today it just sounds like sour grapes.
The truth is, in most cases I would guess and certainly in all three I am familiar with, the women were just bitches with looks not good enough to accompany their bad attitude. Its great though, when you can anonymously come on the Internet and accuse people of things like racism and discrimination and not have to face any consequences.
I think that's pretty rare. I'm sure there are racist dancers, but their favorite color is green. They may complain about certin races and ethnicities, but that typically doesn't stop them from asking everyone for dances.
but as a black man ive seen it enough to know it goes on it may go on less but it still goes on
Her- You wanna dance?
Me- No I'm good.
Her- What you don't like black girls?
Me- No, I'm okay right now.
Her- Well how come you don't want a dance from me?
Me- Because I'm waiting for someone.
Her- Who are you waiting for.
Me- I'd rather not say. I'm good for now, goodbye.
Her- Well how about a tip?
Me- For what?
Her- For the floor show.
Me- No thank you.
Her- You know, you're an asshole.
Me- Fine. I'm an asshole. Please leave.
Her- Who is she? Is it a white girl?
Me- Yes, she's white. (Highly frustrated at this point) I like white girls. I don't like black girls. Please leave before I call a manager.
I can understand girls having to "hustle", but often they can take it too far. Shit like the above exchange is not what I go to strip clubs for.
Fortunately for many dancers, some guys like it different and beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What I see as pretty, someone else may not.
Of course, no one is bitchy as white dancers. Especially the fat ones with tattoos. They don't get why I always say no.
But I truly don't give a shit about skin color. They're all pink inside.
So you as a customer become a target and a desperate last hope for her to cling to. That's where the aggressive and persistent behavior comes in.
But without a doubt, I have had it come most from black dancers who try to "Bogart" their way into dances.
I think some guys do let dancers badger them into getting a dance. Guess it's like drugs, won't stop as long as there's money in it.
Nobody can make themself be attracted to someone they're not attracted to, dancers need to understand that.
There are a lot of beautiful black dancers that don't make as much as girls with lighter skin simply because they're black UNLESS they have a cache of regular customers that are big-spenders (usually white men that "LOVE black girls").
It seem somewhat obvious to me that the poster did not want to dance in a "Black" club. Instead she wants to dance in a white club with black dancers. Cotton Club anyone?
I don’t recall getting hassled for turning down dances/dancers:
1) I go to mostly all black clubs so white vs black dancer does not come into the equation
2) if I go to a mixed club and only getting chocolate style LDs (which is usually what I do); I think other dancers realize that is my-thing/what-I- like and they (vanilla) tend not to bother w/ me
The only time I can recall in recent memory getting hassled for not getting dances was from a young black dancer in a black SC. I had just arrived at the SC and she immediately pounced on me. She was also not really my type (didn’t like her approach and she looked very young - ~19 – I like women not girls).
When I turned her down – she said “damn you’re not like the other white niggas that come in hereâ€.
I took that to mean that the few white guys that go in there do not turn down black dancers b/c they are only there b/c of the black dancers – which is true in my case but I turned *her* down b/c she just rubbed me the wrong way.
I also think she used the term “white niggas†w/o really thinking about it and kinda off the cuff. Many young people use the term “nigga†in their everyday language w/o intending to derogate (e.g. “man those niggas dances moves where off the hookâ€; etc.).
And I've said it before, but it is a fairly recent trend. Never had that problem with black dancers ten years or so ago. It just seems like there were better more respectful black girls dancing in the clubs back then than there is now.
