I am sure many of your clients enjoy the fact you are black or else they would go somewhere else. Give good service and devote the time to your client and you have no complaints.

My grandma raised me and showed particular mailce for stealing etc.. that is why I became so upset and made the harsh post.. I really am not a bad person though... as far as the r. card. i agree its a touchy subject because its an ugly characteristic. I know its hard for you to understand. This particular time it may not have been about race but...there are hateful people out there who stereotype me.. and I am so use to defending myself that I come off hard sometime... but thanks for comment. I will learn something from this thread Originally Posted by Nia BabyWhy would it be hard for me to understand? Because I'm not black?

Honey, we are all stereotyped in some way. There's things in my life that I've been judged for before a person got to know me.
The race card in a situation like this is a no-no. We are all providers or hobbyist and ALL of us would be judged just for what we do if we were found out.
Have a great night & best of luck to you in the future. Originally Posted by Graceutr

1) Starting a thread about a guy's balls will give you attention. You have successfully gain our attention.
What you post on the Internet...you now own. That's why it is never wise to post when your are angry.
You may now honestly regret that...but saying "I'm sorry...but blah, blah" pretty well shots yourself in the foot
2) "I may be stepping out to answer some guy's text". This is a service industry....worry about the next client before or after the current client. You know the old "one in the hand is worth two in the bush". Otherwise you risk not only losing the current client...but not getting future ones. Plus this thread is really adding fuel to the flame.
3) "until your a black woman, don't talk about racially motivated..." What non-black guy's can't intelligently discuss race issues...that alone sounds fairly racist to me. Plus I don't any of us are going to transform into a black woman.
4) but to me, the poster who stated...if he had a problem with black woman, very high chance he would not have booked with you. THREAD WINNER, IMO>
5) You claim you are not playing the race card...but as has been said, you brought it up. Bad move. Not saying you did it purposely...but saying it, with no backing, IMO, can be thought of as being just a racist as the other way around.
Finally, somebody is not going to like you starting two different threads on basically the same subject.
Ya can't go in one direction in this thread...and then start another basic same thread, but attempt to go into another direction Originally Posted by vkmaster
