  I find it ironic that article calls it racist to view black women as gold diggers, listen to almost all rap music in which they brag about it. It's not racist, it's a fact. Here is a great example of a song that played 24 hours a day for a year.
  
  I was born to flex (Yes)
  Diamonds on my neck
  I like boardin' jets, I like mornin' sex (Woo!)
  But nothing in this world that I like more than checks (Money)
  All I really wanna see is the (Money)
  I don't really need the D, I need the (Money)
  All a bad bitch need is the (Money)

  Its a fact that Black women are gold diggers because some rap songs refer to them as such???????
  
  That's not a racist statement at all....
  
  Rap music lyrics marketed at middle class white kids defines Black culture and Black women right?

  By your "logic" misogynistic lyrics by white artists must define white women then.

  Would he be racist If it is a black man writing those lyrics?

  Internalized racism in a song marketed towards white suburban kids would just prove how hegemonic of a force institutionalized racism is.

  Yes, people have long alleged that this bias exists. Almost never will you see a black girl at the San Jose Pink Poodle, or Sunnyvale Cheetahs, our two nude clubs.
  
  DV Centerfolds SF, as I know it does not have them.
  
  Tend to be segregated. I think much of the clientele judges a club by how white it is. Otherwise they say it is "ghetto" or "racthed". Even dancers on this forum say things like that. Management maybe afraid to hire blacks, and to some extent Latinas. Guys will see the club as low class. And also management my be afraid that the minority women won't follow any rules.
  
  Hanky Panky and Brass Rail came to have lots of blacks, often. But these places were not nude. Same for Club Ante San Mateo. But Hanky Panky and Club Ante are ( or were ) dives. I always loved them though. High percentage of the dancers were regular OTC providers.
  
  In San Francisco they used to have this Lusty Lady, old style behind glass shows. Worker owned. They claimed that there was this racial bias, and that they were remedying it.
  
  Most all politics and social issues in the US are still racially coded. In Mein Kamph Hitler held up California law as the way to prevent interracial marriage.
  
  In my future travels I'll be starting at the black clubs, then the latina clubs, then only later the mixed race clubs. And all the more so in the South East and Chicago and the North East. Want to let things develop quickly, front room makeout sessions, back room FS, regular TLN / photo sessions starting ASAP.

  SJG racism in strip clubs is a huge problem. It goes beyond the way clubs are run and to the patrons themselves
  
  Every dancer I know feels she has to carry herself differently around white customers. Latinas feel they have to act like stereotypical white girls... bubbly personality, pretend like they like pop culture and whatever appeals to middle class white norms. Black girls who are light enough to pass for something else always try to. And they feel like they have to act like they like preppy white men and talk shit about men of their own ethnicity to make white customers more comfortable and spend money. I used to date a very light skinned black girl who would always get pissed off coz older white men would ask if she's black and would leave when she said yeah.Most people don't realize the shit these girls go through. Or the girls called fat by white men for not being stick figures....

  Skibum, As per usual, your statements are irrelevant, unfounded, belligerent, agitated, bellicose and harassing. Your online persona, and I call it that since you'd never behave this way in fear of your professional capacity being compromised.... is that of a poster boy for everything wrong in this country.
