Ok last week I wrote how there are really no "black owned elite clubs" in NYC and that really bothers me! Read here if you don't recall. Despite all the comments, emails, and convos I had with many of you, I still don't get it.
Think about it, the hottest establishments in NYC are owned by white people, not by us. Even when they do have "urban night" or "chocolate city nights " as Home calls it, why do I have to pay $20 just to walk in the door when on any other night its free? It makes no sense, just to go to a nice lounge/club and hear hip hop/ R&B, we are required to pay more than any other night when they're playing techno, rock, whatever!
I actually envy my white friends who can go to practically any club/bar any day of the week and have the time of their lives. They can walk in dressed anyway they want, pay nothing, and have fun.
For those of you who work in the "industry" like myself, yes there are exclusive parties that we all get invites to during the week, but what about the people who don't work in the industry? Why do the people who are not "ghettofab" and would like some place nice to party have to suffer because they don't have the "hookup?"
Sigh...someone please help me out!!!
