Well I consider a black club to be a club that plays strictly hip hop and R &B. I just think black folx like to be around their own because they're more comfortable. I don't think it has anything to do with thinking we're better than whites, or anything of that nature. I know when I want cheap drinks and 10 cent wings...I go to a different environment. But when I want to meet (or just be around) yound professional BLACK men, you might see me at First Fridays! I don't think there's anything wrong with that. I grew up around mostly blacks for the first half of my life, then aroung mostly whites for the latter half....and quite frankly, regardless of how steoreotypical this may sound, we do party differently. We react different to music, we dance differently, we dress differently, we even drink different types of drinks! (this is based on my experience) And there's nothing wrong with that.
Now as for the violence and being pat down.... this (along with the fact that I'm not paying ridiculous cover charges) is one of the reasons why I don't really go out to clubs anymore. I can only speak of my experiences, and at white clubs, there are ALWAYS altercations,....I mean with the drinking and testosterone, how can there not be..... but they usually just get broken up and that's that... AND the police don't hassle the folx that much as long as they settle down. However, in black clubs, from my experience, sometimes there may be a weapon involved, or somebody may call his boys, and they come to the club to finish what was started.....AND the police always over-react...hey it's sad, but this is just what i've seen......
