Why does some providers don't see black men?

Really? I was starting to believe only us black guys could ever rob, short change, rough up, no show, have bad hygiene, pound too hard, or try to slip in BB on providers. No way guys of other races could these things, right?

Wow! Learn something new every day.

For the most part, NBA policies are poor substitutes for good screening. That and many of those who think that way tend to offer suspect quality of services, the scammers and such (and the last thing they want to deal with is a pissed off 'brotha' over his money).

Try to focus on the ones that love dark chocolate, brotha man!!

How so? The OP already received that answer he was looking for and had responded as such. He's new and was just looking for answers to a question. If people would take the time to actually pay attention to who's asking the questions instead of responding "Oh! Not this again", we'd have less drama. Just like people bumping old reviews, they weren't doing because they had alterior motives, they were doing it because they were new.

When newbies have questions, how about providing them with a constructive answer. Sometimes posts on this site are like high school nonsense. If people would just answer the questions asked instead of getting on a soapbox, there would be less drama.

There are various reason why some providers don't see black men, even black providers.

You asked for reasons. Some reasons are legit, some are ignorant. The reasons are covered in-depth in the two links I have posted below. Read through them and you will be fully caught up:

Here's a suggestion. As, IMHO, Ron has done an outstanding job with answering this question (best I've seen yet), I vote that the mods just sticky this puppy to every thread that asks this question and then go to lock down before the trainwreck happens.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not bashing the question and the OP did nothing wrong by asking why it happens. That said, I've yet to see one of these threads that doesn't get ugly and Ron's answer (with his supporting links) is a great one.

You are absolutely right, my apologizes for being part of the "oh not this again".

Make a list of the providers you want to see, research and see if they have a NBA policy, some are very open about it and it helps. There are plenty of woman who see ALL races. Its over 400 if not more providers advertising everywhere in the metroplex area.

If the one you want has a NBA policy, find a look a like who does not have one. You can also post a ISO and see what results you come up with. Happy hunting.

i was just trying to shed a comedic light on the topic and i also agree with your comments. not trying to start drama or add to it. i apologize regardless if my comment ticked you off or annoyed you.

I wasn't trying to gripe at anyone, it was just an observation. There are posts about race that start off accusatory and angry, but PLove's didn't. I definitely understand people not wanting to beat a dead horse. Sometimes it's easier to show people where the dead horse is buried.

NBA standing for "no blacks allowed". Just another example of how the hobby world and the real world don't have shit in common.
