		<description><![CDATA[Frank 15 &amp; 16. I beg to differ. seems to me YOU and your ilk are the plague of humanity (and being just plain humane likely doesn&#039;t occur to you either). 
But ...
oh yes. thanks SO much for offering up CONTROL over me (&amp; all women) bc we really need that (NOT) I think you&#039;re angry that our lustiness doesn&#039;t include the likes of men like you, most women (I hope) have radar for repellant individuals.

		<description><![CDATA[My own nightclub witnessed some pretty good examples of how Blacks are treated differently than Whites. My nightclub is in a largely Black or mixed race area of Northeast Portland, OR, and I used to hire an all Black work crew, with the exception my girlfriend, one bartender and myself who were Jews, and on nights where I would feature R&amp;B music or Hip Hop acts, all night long you would see city inspectors, fire department, police, police gang enforcement units, county inspectors, Oregon Liquor Control officers who would do walk throughs or other harassment all night long. But, then when I’d have most White rock shows, then not a single one of these officers or agents show up all night. In a supposedly liberal city like Portland, race based politics is very much alive and government at all levels seems to equate skin color to gang ties even if it’s some 70 year old men coming in the club for a New Years event. It’s paranoid and nonsensical. – So we switched venues back to a strip club, which has actually cut government harassment significantly.

Police and government are so conservative and out of step with culture, that you play almost any popular song by a Black artist in the club, and they are convinced that you’re pandering to hoodlums. Heck, a lot of White artists like Justin Timberlake, Robin Thicke and Britney Spears are heavily influenced by Hip Hop, but none of their music is any more a gang attraction than playing Sammy Davis, Jr. – Last night the DJ even played a few country songs. – That’s got to be like kryptonite for gang members?

Last night some city inspectors stopped by again, once again bringing up the nonsense that the club used to be a gang member hangout and even claiming that some local steakhouse was now a gang hangout. – Yeah, ever since they put in that salad bar, the Bloods and Crips were drawn to that like a magnet. Right…

With this sort of mentality in the minds of law enforcement, they are too quick to assume that all Blacks are gang members, or are carrying a weapon. – This only sets many Blacks up to be a victim of police gunfire at a hair’s trigger, for even very minor things, such as a routine traffic stop or even “driving while Black”.]]></description>
