Black Strippers In Mississippi Awarded $3.3 Million Is Discrimination Lawsuit

Five African-American p-poppers in Mississippi have been rained down upon by a jury after a federal judge found that the Black womens’ working conditions were far worse than those of their white counterparts.

According to NBCPhiladelphia, U.S. District Judge Henry T. Wingate ruled on the discrimination case last year and this past Wednesday the jury decided that $3.3 million in damages and future suffering should be awarded to the ladies of Danny’s Downtown Cabaret in Jackson.

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission sued Danny’s years ago, saying the Jackson club limited when black women could work and fined them $25 if they didn’t show up for a shift. The commission said white strippers had flexible schedules at the club and were not subjected to fines for missing work.

It also said a Danny’s manager used racial slurs against a black dancer, and Danny’s owners forced black women to work at another Jackson club they owned called Black Diamonds, where conditions and security were worse and dancers were paid less.

And to think, people used to crudely joke there is no racism when it comes to sex because all punany is pink on the inside.

Let this be a lesson to the janky promoters who wanna low-ball Black women. This ain’t Playa’s Club, playa.
