There's a hell of a justification of racism? Would it be OK to say "lynching, it works both ways"?
Justifying racism as "choice" is beyond feeble and borders on going beyond explaining it, or even apologizing for it, to almost advocating for it.
James, I can't imagine how frustrating and disheartening this must be. And I know it does you no good to hear this, but there are folks on the other side of the racial divide who do understand that it is frustrating and disheartening, even if we can't imagine how it feels to be in your shoes. I just don't know what else to say that can make this situation any better. But I am deeply saddened by in, and I see in the small town were I live on a daily basis in other ways.

Sure, you would like to see who you would like to see, but it is a free country, it takes two, even though your money spends just as good as the next fellow's. There are SO many hotties here and hobbyists have so much of a selection that there is no way you would see them all once, and definitely if you have a few you want to see on a regular basis, you would not have the time. Just move on and stop worrying about things you cannot change. I know the OP just wanted to vent and I cannot say I understand his frustrations as I am not a "tinted man", as one of friends said, but the stereotype will never go away. I do remember, not so long ago, when I go to the strip clubs, I felt like the strippers were ignoring me because many felt, and some still do, that unless you are old and/or fat, you do not have any money. Well, I am a strip club regular at one club and a semi-regular at a couple more, and I how I "got around that" is that I had a stripper that was and still is very good at "VIP activities" but she was definitely not the prettiest girl there, but certainly not the ugliest. The two other girls I wanted to go in the VIP with before I saw her, actually did give the same "rationale" as I described, but when they heard about how much money I spent and spend there on dances, they come up to me on a constant basis and ask when I am going to "let them show me a good time", I remind them of what they said to me and tell them, "Too bad you mind is shallow like that in your thinking".
