The truth about 'no blacks'
[QUOTE=HagsJoe;2311592]Stereotypically could also mean they don't want to be pimped.[/QUOTE]Both of you have valid points.
My research about these providers that have this " no blacks" policy shows that many, maybe even most, have black street punk handlers (I hate the word, pimp. Almost makes them sound big). Also, many of them used to see blacks before suddenly adopting that policy. HoHunter is right: they have this (erroneous) belief that they can get more money from white mongers. I say erroneous because if all mongers are disciplined and never overpay, it would not matter if one is white or black. That's like a convenience store owner deciding to sell only to whites because he figures he can raise the price of his soda from $1 to $2.
Joe is right also: in effect, their street punk handlers are concerned about their fellow African Americans who, they worry " know the game". This infact, becomes another good way to identify providers to avoid. Personally, I would never see a provider working with a handler. That should be a deal breaker for every monger.
