Been in the game for a minute.
Let’s be real clear, a lot of these venues do not want black crowds. They don’t want Latinos. They don’t want Indians, Arabs, or Asians. Some of the spots don’t want rough looking white dudes though.
You can mitigate some of this by
- Dressing Well (entirely better than everyone else)
- Paying Cover (when no one else is)
- Not rolling in groups of 2 or more.
- Bringing females
But for the most part, clubs typically have these racist policies to keep me and mine out. It is what it is.
To an extent, you can run game on the door guy, bouncer, and person taking cash – and this is basically what I build into my “creating a circuit” mentality. They know you’re cool, you are bringing the party.
Typically, the guy enforcing the policy isn’t usually racist. Often times these super white clubs will have huge black bouncers. The owner’s are usually of Middle East or Indian extraction – but they don’t want a bunch of Muhammad’s and Sanjay’s at the door.
Why?
Rich white guys want to party with primarily pretty white girls. White guys don’t want competition, and white girls that are into this scene don’t want to deal with “aggressive” minority guys nor get blown out by sexy Latinas and Asians.
The owners typically want to keep the club as a lily white as possible for as long as possible. Because clubs have a life cycle. The first few months, it’s cool and hot and exclusive. But the (white) people who make it cool and hot have no loyalty and will bolt…so the big money has to be made early on. You’ll find that some of these places don’t have any clientele outside of Friday and Saturday. Some won’t even be open.
So that’s one of the down sides of the club game.
As a club goer, I’ve found and so will you – a more laid back but fun atmosphere will be better for your game overall. These country club/velvet rope type places will suck the life out of you.
