It is easy to sit here and say "tell providers up front that you are black" when you have no idea how it feels. ... I do state on my p411 profile that I am black. The problem is not the ladies who let me know up front about their NBA policy, it is the "I normally don't see black clients" providers. They wait til they have your donation and start some form of service then throw in, I normally don't see black clients. What normally follows is half arsed service.
Before some genius states, "Ask for your money back and move on or don't give donation til services are rendered". Those geniuses obviously are not black. Usually upon walking into a provider's lair, the donation is requested right away from this black client. It is extremely rare that I have been in a situation where I could wait til the end of the appointment to donate.
...
So telling a provider up front that I'm black may save me from the NBA providers ...

but i have felt discrimination, being outcasted, and marginalized because of my heritage and ethnicity. i even got a negative review from a course i taught cos i had a beard - and this from a guy who smoked a cigar during class [when it was legal to smoke in offices]. it's those stupid fucks loss for being so close minded.
wrt paying and then getting "half arsed service" [which is another form of ignorance on her part], i suggest that the next time this happens, you write a post or review stating what happened so others will know what sort of close minded woman she is.
much as Blade5150 did naming Asian Champagne.
again, sorry you two had to go thru a way less than deliteful experience.
