That explanation makes a lot of sense ... thank you, Buscadero.Unfortunately locally & nationally too if public-Most pretty quickly go to jail (see poor AJ) or get probation for awhile. Not acceptable- outa biz 4 most! Truly discriminatory.
On the other hand, your explanation begs a new question: what has happened to all the white pimps,and why has that group become so underprivileged, underrepresented and repressed in contemporary society?!?!

If I saw an ad for a lady... (no matter how good looking she was) ... that said she doesn't see wrinkled, old, ugly , one shot wonders ... I wouldn't waste time calling... this is Houston... like my daddy said when I wanted to buy my first car because I "HAD" to have that one... "Son... there's always another deal down the road!"What tha hell! You mean you wouldn't scold her, tell her all the really hip girls actually preferred wrinkly beings; you wouldn't submit countless posts grumbling about the trouble you have seen; you wouldn't take every verbal shot at the chick you could think of and disparage her character, or lack of anyway, her upbringing, her Mama, hell...even her humanity. You mean to say you don't feel ENTITLED to buy that nookie?

what I find so funny and ironic about this ubiquitous and never-ending issue is this:
the black gents who are offended by the NBA policies are very quick to use labels like "prejudiced" and "racists" to describe the providers who won't see them... but on the flip side, they don't prefer the company of an AA provider! no one calls the black hobbyist who doesn't see black providers as an "Uncle Tom" or anything ugly! If you as a black hobbyist don't want to see black women, why is it so hard to understand that maybe a white/hispanic/asian provider doesn't want to see YOU?

Out of curiosity, I once asked a charming provider (who was, herself, a very lovely and progressive Latin American lady) about her "NBA" policy. Her response was that she was very active socially (she frequented the black/latino "club scene," attended lots of parties, etc.) and she didn't want to risk potentially encountering clients during her "off hours." According to her, the chances of a surprise encounter with a Caucasian client were minimal (almost nonexistent) due to the ethnic composition of her "social circle" (she primarily socialized with Latino/African American men and women). Prior to this conversation, I had never really considered the issues that providers may face regarding "chance encounters" with clients outside of the work environment. Thus, I felt that the policy made a lot of sense for her.
Obviously, we all still live in a very racially charged society (despite the election of Obama, the United States is a far cry from being "post racial," LOL!), there's no denying that fact. However, the lady that I'm referencing was not at all "racist," in fact, the opposite was true in her case. I'm certain that for some providers, and some clients, bigoted beliefs do play a part in their choices, but this is not always the case.
Accordingly, KaraLynnKelley, perhaps this same line of reasoning may explain why some African American clients are wary of seeing African American providers, i.e., they may be a tad uncomfortable at the proposition of "doing business" with a provider who might just run in their same "social circle." After all, as a group, Americans do tend to socialize in "cliques" which are racially homogeneous (of course, there are always exceptions, I realize that). Think about it ... it makes sense (just like it did for the provider that I mentioned above).Originally Posted by smokey
