This is why I left that state decades ago as soon as I was 18 , I could not stand the backwards ignorance .. seriously this comment is laughable .


As to the OP I shop all over that place and have no special cards other than VISA and Mastercard . I see all colors of people there .

The only thing I could think about is maybe something like a FoundersCard? But even that is more of the urban myth variety...

Whenever I'm shopping for a new Omega or whatever in Beverly Hills, I enter a store, immediately throw about 20 gold bullion coins on the counter, and ask, "Do you take gold?"

So much more classy than shopping with a plastic card like a pleb.

Wholesalers card I would imagine. I don’t know about Beverly Hills but most of the decent stores in the downtown fashion District only sell wholesale.

I had some lady friends tell me this was needed.

However they were women of color.

So I don’t know if they experienced racism.
Absolutely not. You can shop anywhere with the same normal credit cards. Your friends may have encountered a moody sales clerk. Famous people have the same credit cards everyone else does.

Folks give this girl a break. I'm black and can't even argue. Excuses and denial never helped anybody. If you wanna keep it real, when black people become cops and their worst confrontations are with other black people; blacks open storefront business' in a black neighborhood and always got people asking for the hookup or flat out stealing, or looting the place when there's a riot; or black teachers who realize the black students in the school are typically the worst behaved..so yes we see the same thing everybody else sees.
Her mistake if any was she said "A FEW", and unfortunately it's a lot more. It's my reality that I live with and I understand I pay for the sins of many, that stores, nice restaurants and nice neighborhoods hate to see black people coming and I get it. Ever seen any video of a mall being overrun by teens, you can many on youtube. It's typically not white and Asian kids. And If she is so wrong, than why do well off blacks out here move to areas with minuscule black populations?

As for the OP, I think u heard something foolish that doesn't exist. Money talks. Period

Sorry Texas that view is just wrong.
I see great people in all colors.
I also see trashy people in all colors.

It is not hard to see.
Try giving it a shot.
K?
