ya'll are doing it again!!! stop bitching and being negative. i heart white boys!!! lol
and come on, even the rednecks are funny, at least!!! jeepers :P
Damn ya'll, lmao! I leave for a couple of days and all hell breaks loose.
The only problem I have with your comment is the way you are dismissing others prior experiences and pain. What difference is ranting from overwhelming racisim from a hard shift than half of the bull shit rants posted on stripper web. The way I see it, if their are a mass majority of people dealing with these issues......I'm sorry....it's not in their heads. I know how to deal with racisim, but in the club the racisim dealt is usually in a more raw form.
In my civilian job I can easily roll my eyes and file a complaint with human resources. But in the club since their isn't such a thing, and everyone treats YOU the recipient of racisit treatment as though you're overreacting...........Well....quite frankly that's one of many reasons why I made this thread. Sure, there are plenty of bright moments dancing as a WOC, but the darker side of the spectrum also includes ignorance. Don't get me wrong, I don't believe whining solves shit........
but venting is cleansing, especially in an enviroment where other women can relate.
( I can relate to the discussions/ vents from a dancer point of view)
IMHO, holding shit like the experiences above in can be very poisonous. Why do you think I went out of my way to chat up more white men OTC. I deliberately did that so I could remind myself that the bogus racisit shit that I have experienced within the club had little no none reflection of the white gentlemen I meet everyday. I actually started noticing little differences in the way I THOUGHT white men OTC percieved me, and my view was starting to get warped to a sense because of the lil bullshit that white men have said or done to me ITC. I knew that was my subconscious feeding into the injustice I recieve at any given night. It's the lil shit that grinds my gears ( Hey Jayda, Family guy.... sorry;D ) and it's the lil things that can affect the subconscious mind.
Think of it this way, children aren't born racisit and intolerant, but they pick up on the cues from their racisit families and usually have a difficult time dealing with other races. Sure, they may have never witnessed dramatic/traumatic
racism such as "hangings" but even the most subtle form of racism such as hearing mommie use "nigger" here and there can create a monster. And the reason I'm saying this is to emphasize the importance of acknowledging racism, no matter how minute. I'm also saying this to stress that the mind picks up on cues despite how "minor" they may appear. In other words, venting is neccesary in this league in order for US to not become monsters.
You should actually be more tolerant and understanding yourself. I really like you, but you should respect the amount of guts it takes to handle this type of shit while you're ALSO naked and objectified. These bitches are bad! 8) It takes a very SECURE woman too be able to handle this type of treatment on the regular, we don't have room nor time to be intimidated ( intimidation takes too much time, which means less money at the end of the night) The only people who appear intimidated are the asshat's that go out of their way to run from my sexy chocolate. By the time they leave I'm on to the next victim. I think you're imaging this affecting us ITC, hell to the naw, I brush it off quicker than it happens, But their are moments when you get home and within the stillness of the night memories may creep up on you. The mind is powerful as fuck, so these images are simple for it to recall. Trust me, I don't go out of my way to recall hurtful images, the mind has a mind of it's own. And it's moments like that that encourage me to log on and read the experiences of my collegues. No, not so I can whine, but so I can recieve comfort in knowing that I'm not alone. That I'm not crazy and radical like others suggest. I would love to keep the convos light and breezy, but the world isn't always a calm, engaging place. Stripperweb is a reflection of all things great and bad about the world. With that being said, since the "real world" can display such intolerance, what do you expect in the under belly of society?
oh and oh yeah...layka did the pink hair punk dude ever call??lol
how did that whole experiment pan out in the end?
Girl. lmao, that dude lasted a week. He was funny, and cute as hell, but he had a problem with putting candy up his nose::) And he came across a lil slow. I dunno, he was three raisins short of a cookie.
I'm talking to a great cat now, but he's getting a lil weak to me...... I'll hit Starbucks next weekend, maybe the next dude can spell c.h.o.c.o.l.a.t.e. ( and eat it}:D )

yeah, sometimes the truth hurts. cry me a freaking river.

what? because i am not a dancer i have not experienced racism?
sure i don't know what it feels like to "be the hottest girl in the room and have guys roll thier eyes etc..."
but maybe that's because i don't walk around THINKING i'm the "hottest girl in the room" (people will take issue with a girl with an atttitude like that no matter what color) AND I'm not constantly scanning peoples faces to judge what racist thoughts they OBVIOUSLY are thinking about me because OMG theres NO WAY they could have ANYTHING ELSE to think about except how black i am!!!
it seems like ya'll are ....intimidated ....by white folks, giving racists way more attention than they are worth and it pisses me off.
That's justifiable, since you obviously aren't "the hottest girl in the room".
If you don't believe you are, why should anyone else?
Wait, you've never even been one of the girls (dancers) in the "room" (club)....ever, so once again, you're talking outta your tush SWEETIE.
When did you decide this thread applied to you anydamnedway? Didn't I read one of your posts, where you said you were of your own race, yadda yadda.
Now you're one of us?::)

OMG
okay first let me stop laughing.
*whew*
ok...
BAHAHAHAHAH!!!!! (oops my mom just yelled at me to shut up)
ok! ok!
SO!
I said I wasn't going to come back but, hello, I was way too curious. Plus I am bored as hell today.
I am fully able to admit when I am wrong.
SO YES YA'LL ARE RIGHT AND I'M NOT GOING TO DENY IT: I AM ditzy as HECK (i'm sure you can tell that by now) ....I'm smart when it counts though.
AND YEAH I have no idea what you dancers go through, you're right layka, ya'll do need to vent and you have a right to do that and i'm sure the "society" and the guys itc are entirely different than out. sorry bout that folks. I do have respect for ya'll for putting up with it and in my heart I wish that you didn't have to.
Since I am no longer going to be a dancer (right away anyway) I don't belong here. That's not a good or a bad thing. Just a fact.
AND YEAH I talk out of my ass often, actually. I am the queen of bullshit, but you'd be surprised, it's a pretty useful characteristic to have. At work I can sell my ass off and I have the innate ability to smile/blink my way out of anything ;)
Really, I have a very light hearted view of everything. I laugh way too often and I don't take anything or anybody seriously EVER. Of course I have my bad days, but I can find the humor or good in anything and sometimes (well, often actually) it really pisses people off.
Like everything else that should stress me out...I wish I could be angry at you all for freaking out but (of course) it's just way. too. funny.
BYEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

I spent the Lord's Day checking out his masterpieces......bee-yoo-tiful Spring Break hotties at the beach today! Every shade of sexinesss. Mmmmm They may be annoying at work but they are yummy otc. I had to convince one I was too old for his 20 year old ass and had to ENDURE another pushin' up on me at the dance club.....naughty things! :D I do so love this trend of all kinds of guys enjoying black culture. It was like the UN up in there. I just missed the hot Korean dude I had my eye on--but that's another story! ;)
BTW, I think this is so important to keeping balance in our lives. You have to fill up on the good stuff to keep balance with the bad.

^Also just wanted to chime in about what you said! I have a really close male friend who's half Iranian and half black. He's fed up! When he was little and lived in France, the black kids would make fun of him for not being black. Now that he lives in the US with his Persian family side, they blame his shortcomings on not being fully Persian. AND he was studying Japanese for a while but got pissed off and stopped after he encountered tons of discrimination from the Japanese community about his blackness.
What the hell does race have to do with anyone's character?! I stopped hanging out with what used to be a casual friend for a couple racist comments that I couldn't ignore. When I was younger I thought racism only existed in the KKK or other extreme situations. As I grow older I'm more and more shocked and aggravated to find out how commonplace racism is.

You know what...
I have been tossing that ignorant comment that IMUS ole cranky ancient ass said around in my head for too long. Now, I didn't want to make a thread on the issue because I figured their are too many "scary" folks around here::) But the hell with the cowards, I won't be censored, lmao.
I feel it has a place in this discussion. When he made that comment it bought me back to a place when I first started dancing, I thought that the older white men thought and felt the same views he expressed. Now, I'm at a better place, and I feel confident enough with myself to not allow comments like the ones he said eat away at me, but DAMN, it's 2007 and it never fails to boggle my mind that their are creatures who actually still deem black women as "Nappy headed hoes". To the women out their that undermine the struggle it is to dance while black, Mr Imus just beautifully illustrated my point. THAT'S one of the reason's I/We have to wear long, flowy 26 inch weaves to work. That's why some of us wear contacts to work, that's why we cringe when we read/hear others imply that this shit is all in our heads. Imus really put his foot in his mouth on this one. My hair is all natural, I haven't had a perm in two years and the length is incredible. I love to feel the "naps" sprouting out of my scalp, I'm awed at it's strength. I love the way it looks thick, and delicious when I flat iron it. And it took me a LOOOOONNGGGG time to get to that point. I appreciate the shout out though! Lmao, I actually wore my real hair out the day he made the comment just to piss on legs. I really hope his ignorant comments served as a friendly reminder to some that we haven't "Arrived" yet, that despite how much you ignore racisim it still is alive. What can we do about it? Well for starters, not ignore it when issues like this arise. I'm already pissed that certain members of the media are suggesting that we as a nation allow this to die down now since he apologized.
FUCK THAT!!!
These were pratically kids he insulted. And it's beyond an issue of race, he also used the term 'Hoes" ( which I must admit I giggled at b/c it sounded ridunkulous coming out of a 150 yr old mans mouth) Well, well, well, now it's not only an issue of race, but sexism as well. And this fuck box is on the air/:O Don't get me wrong, I'm for free speech, but I'm also for being held accountable for your actions. His ass needs to be grass. He insulted the not only black women, but women in general. I swear, I'm about to strap on my stilettos and march all over the capital..... As soon as I figure out how to organize one:P

How many of you girls actually breathed a sigh of relief? this moment came at a time that I was actually questioning my stance, whether it was "All in my head". Now I feel as though it has been confirmed in spotlight. Sheesh, I want my natural hair to breathe ITC one day, but it will frizz up and look "nappy" to some. That's why I choose not to. Besides, these girls were playing, of course their hair looked rough. I mean, come on dude, he took a very cheap shot. One that reminds me why I wear super silky long wigs to work. Damn, I'm in the wrong line of work. I really hope that after dancing I can take up the regins and be a advocate for women and minoritys across the board. Sorry about the long rant, but I just can't keep this ish pent up inside me.
Okay, and so we can all remain unbiased, how many of you gals use the N word?

They should have called Imus or whatever his name is, a werewolf looking redneck, because that's what he is.

It was unbelievable. I can't believe they're giving him two weeks off. I hope when the two weeks are up, he's fired. I mean, maybe he's senile, since he is 97 years old or something, but holy shit.
Or perhaps they could just take him out to a nice Jersey neighborhood pickup game and drop him off for a while.}:D

Apparently Imus has lost his mind! But then, I stopped listening to Howard Stern too because I thought he lost his mind! They both have some racist and misogynistic issues. I don't see why these people don't go get counseling for their fears instead of projecting them on us--but then I could say that for much of the male and white population.
cinammonkisses
04-11-2007, 04:41 AM
I think the reason they dont get counseling is because so many people embrace them. It's so much easier for Howard of Imus to say the things that the majority of the population already thinks and says at the dinner table, but not dare say outloud you know.
I really hope he gets more than 2 weeks.!
JustJayda
04-11-2007, 04:47 AM
Well, from what I just heard on MSNBC, a few important advertisers have already cut the strings. I'm pretty sure Proctor & Gamble was one that I heard.
Money talks, so hopefully his ass will get fired.
On another note, does Imus really think that his hair isn't......nevermind
cinammonkisses
04-11-2007, 04:52 AM
I'm pretty sure Proctor & Gamble was one that I heard.
Oh really I didn't know that? well in that case, if P&G is leaving, then it's all bad for his show! Proctor and Gamble is a very diversified company. So yea, the racial/sexist jokes got no love from P&G I'm pretty sure!
Optimist
04-11-2007, 10:00 AM
HA HAAA! I think Procter & Gamble is owned by Beatrice which is run by a black CEO. I'll look it up but if so, they won't be wooing that company back. That's really the only way these people will stop abusing our community. If they get cut off at the knees financially, all the trash talking will stop.
JustJayda
04-11-2007, 10:31 AM
Yeah^^ it is P&G, also Staples and the company that makes "Head-On".
Good for them!
I never heard of Imus until this incident. Obviously he doesn't cater to our demographic, LOL.
I was listening to the Randi Rhodes show on Air America radio today (the liberal talk radio station) and she got into some heavy talk about him, and really hit the Republicans and white society hard about the roots and reasons for the good ole' boy racism in this country.
She is really cool to listen to, and it is refreshing to hear a white person who really understands the reasons for the rampant racism in our country. You'll never hear this kind of "real" news on TV as the stations and conservative politicians are in bed with each other in order to keep getting richer.

MSNBC said late Wednesday that it was dumping "Imus in the Morning," effective immediately. "This decision comes as a result of an ongoing review process, which initially included the announcement of a suspension," NBC News said. More

I betcha CBS is gonna fire him wholesale:
Earlier Wednesday, a member of CBS Corp.'s board of directors said Imus should be fired. (http://www.cnn.com/2007/SHOWBIZ/TV/04/11/imus.rutgers/index.html)
"As an African-American, I believe that Imus has crossed the line, a very bright line that divides our country," said Bruce Gordon, a CBS director and former president and CEO of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
I mean, if you pull a stunt like this and your board of directors includes a former president of the NAACP I should hope your ass is toast.

Why don't some clubs hire black girls or try to keep the number of black dancers to a minimum? Where is the logic with club managers/owners to do that? By not hiring black girls they are willingly turning down housefees.
Are they afraid that the club will become "ghetto"? Because the vast majority of my co-workers are white and they are FAR more ghetto than practically any black people that I know. Do they not think that white guys like black girls? Because over 90% of my clientele are white. Do they think white men are going to be scared of a black woman mugging them and club managers don't want their clientele to be afraid?
Any thoughts or theories on why many clubs will turn down a fine black girl for some homely, dumpy, white chick?
Optimist
05-01-2007, 11:43 AM
That's how racism works. It's illogical. It's cutting off your nose to spite your face.
As I always say, this will only change when we as black people focus on getting the business capital white males have, and start whittling away the number of clubs or any businesses for that matter owned by whites.
As long as we rely on whites to give us employment, we will never have the money they have.

I'm sure that all differs from club to club. The moneymakers at my club are the lighest dancers who also have the biggest butts. If they are sitting around, it's because they want to rest from lapdancing all night.

She might not know, but I do.
Granted I am not black, but I get shit all the time from the white girls and the black girls about being Jewish, especially in the heart of the Bible Belt.
I know discrimination all too well, and I happen to agree with her.

I just recently joined the site so I apologize if I'm re-stating something that's already been said on this thread (and I'm sure it has). My biggest all-time frustration are many of the clubs hiring practices. I just hate not having the luxury of bouncing in and out of any club I want to because of my skin color...and I'm gorgeous (well I am!)and present myself well.
There's nothing more frustrating then trying to work and being told every excuse in the book for mgmt not hiring you...yet many of your white counterparts you see walking around are lackluster to say the least.
Re-entering the industry after 3 years, I'm noticing it more and more and was recently forced to work in a not so nice club after getting the total runaround at 4-5 mid-upper scale clubs in town. I live in Indy where the white is right attitude is still a strong undercurrent. It's hard to keep your confidence when you experience it over and over.

I understand hon. I am still taking my break from the industry. I am a black girl in neighboring Ohio so I know all about the rundown. I especially love the the "hiring freeze" line. And in many of these so called "upper scale" clubs you might see quite a few white girls walking around that make you go "huh?"/:O
And the thing is, once I'm hired, I tend to have no problem selling LDs and making money. Often I do better than everyone in the club white or black. It normally leaves the management and other strippers scratching their heads and even saying crap like "How did that happen?!?! But black girls are not supposed to do well here?!?!?!? Wahhhhhhhhhh".

I,too, find the mentality frustrating when I BANKED at my previous club!! I am black and am ALWAYS told my body resembles Serena Williams (I'm 5'9"...38D-26-44), so I NEVER looked like anyone else in the club. (Which I felt was my my advantage ;~)Mgmt only even hired 3-4 black girls TOTAL, and none of us (4) looked alike. I was in a white club, dancing for white customers, IN THE BIBLE BELT, and STILL made great money, yet now, approaching similar clubs to what I danced in, can't even get in the door! WTF?:O

wow. oh, wow. i broke dawn this morning reading this thread.i laughed my ass off, cried, my stomach knotted,my shoulders tensed,and i relaxed...i felt like i was coming home. i've checked out sw twice, once from curiosity and once out of boredom ,found some funny shit. last nite just because i was at a loss with myself. dancing can be some mind bending work sometimes if you let it. it is a world comprised of the most base human emotions. sometimes fear is all you can see. i came home the other night so sad and defeated (by some unrelated to the subject work stuff ) i didnt really know how to continue. saterday night in and i again logged on. lurked(im new to chat rooms period so need to get to kno the lingo) thru this whole thread wanting to chime in alot throughout it. btw hi i'm piepie brand new here but, been in the biz a long time so hello to everybody.. i am so grateful and feel so blessed to have found this. reading it made me stand up straighter ,smile and walk taller today. layka you write beautifully and brilliantly: i applaud you standing up. you made me proud of who i am just by being who you are. too many names to remember but i read so much insight and love thru here. some real goofy shit too. so i just want to say thank you. thank you for being brave and open. race relations are shitty all around in this world. until we talk AND WALK our talk things will continue to change at the rate they are,slowly. so much i want to say i relate on so many fronts. don't want to make ya'll crazy tho on and on. i live in the deep south. i see and feel this brand of bs all the time. thank you for opening this dialog. we all can learn from it. i am a white woman with tribal tattoos . i have a 3yr old daughter who is black and she's white( her words) and i am confronted with issues of race all the time. it is heartbreaking and warming because for every person that does not want to understand there is someone who does. the experiences that i have thru my relationship with my daughter are opening my eyes tremendously. racism is alive and thriving the world over. intolerance and contempt makes money. and you find love in the strangest of places and that is free. i could go on for days and am not on the orig. topic anyway. i live in a city that closes the doors of its"upscale clubs" during a certain sports event because the customers would be predominantly black. fear is a powerful tool. i digress, and smoke.. and pass..apologies for being so long winded.

I just read through this thread too, and wow. Everyone who said that stripping is a hella racist enviornment is absolutely right, unfortunately.
When I worked in Las Vegas it was crazy bad! I mean, crazy. Like there would be one black girl working, IF THAT every night, and we're talking about clubs with 200 or 300 girls on a given weekend!!
I also saw the HOTTEST woman get turned down for night shift... like, oh my God, amazing perfect body, and just sooo pretty.... and I'm sure it was for racist reasons.
It's really awful. I don't get it either... and it really makes no sense. Guys love black girls. Sooo....yeah. It's sad.
