Could you define XXXL for us?   I’m intrigued.  

I totally agree with this mindset: 
 

It may be just me, but he had no idea how much, if at all you were going to give him for things most would consider “extra”. I’m sure there are plenty masseurs there that go the extra mile only to get the standard $60 and nothing else. I don’t see the harm here in what he did, but it’s clear we have differing opinions on the matter.

These "higher rates of crime" are often mental/verbal cover for racist/prejudicial attitudes on the part of your friends/clients.  The stats that I have seen show that whites and blacks are head to head in relation to arrest rates, especially those related to violent crime and drugs.  I'm sure they're not citing stats that justify their racism/beliefs with you; and if they are, which are they citing?  
 

You sound like you're on drugs.  There's so much wrong with your ramblings that I won't endeavor to speak to everything now.  I'd be typing all night.  However, I'll start here: 
Clearly, you are ignorant to many things associated with this topic, including decades of research, legal actions, and news reports that immediately speak to the disparities that POC face within the workplace; and it gets even worse when you break it down by race and gender.  Stop talking out of your ass, please.  It's insulting to the intelligence of everyone reading your bullshit.  It's clear that you know this because you didn't bother once trying to include anything beyond your own ramblings to support your weak ass claim (i.e. statistics, research, etc.). 
Again, another bullshit ass claim.  You haven't been in a position to know the salaries of everyone with whom you've worked alongside since you've been in the world of work and career.  Therefore, it is an absolute impossibility for you to say that NONE, not one, of your colleagues was paid less due to their race and/or sex.  
Given your extreme stupidity, and your willingness to share and display it publicly, it is no wonder that "they" have been passed over your ignorant ass.  I suspect IQ had much more to do with this than race.  
 
 
 

All I'm saying is that they're verbalizing the fact that they're stereotyping blacks, and trying to justify it with bullshit.  As you say, these are your "friends", so obviously you're totally free to do what you want.  However, I don't entertain or co-sign conversations that clearly are bigoted toward entire race (or races) of people.  I don't want people to confuse a silence and/or a listening ear with agreement.

All I'm saying is that they're verbalizing the fact that they're stereotyping blacks, and trying to justify it with bullshit.  As you say, these are your "friends", so obviously you're totally free to do what you want.  However, I don't entertain or co-sign conversations that clearly are bigoted toward entire race (or races) of people.  I don't want people to confuse a silence and/or a listening ear with agreement.  

I am Black/mixed. Im only speaking for myself, but I have never charged below market  rates, and I have not, nor would I negotiate my rates. My philosophy is always if someone want to pay a lower rate, they should go for the guy with the lower rate. 🤷🏽‍♂️

These "higher rates of crime" are often mental/verbal cover for racist/prejudicial attitudes on the part of your friends/clients.  The stats that I have seen show that whites and blacks are head to head in relation to arrest rates, especially those related to violent crime and drugs.  I'm sure they're not citing stats that justify their racism/beliefs with you; and if they are, which are they citing?

As Simon Cowell would say, “Forgettable!”

How about no memories?

I don't think it's stupid- they just haven't given it much thought.

A lot of these comments are reminding me why i stopped coming in here as much.
