been saying this for a long time.

niggas keep saying they got enough problems with their own
 
problems means money

nobody wants extra responsibility or guilt and I get that

but its wack and selfish....and Im guilty of it too

nah we cant feed everybody's kid or make sure they all have a place for the night but if everybody or even most were on the same page I think the kids would be good

trust me bruh...

its alot of dudes out here that dont want to take care of their own.

i sometimes get mad as fuck seeing how careless niggas are and can be.
but put mad energy into smashing strippers or getting small money. but not in the kids.

niggas dont want to be apart of nothing that aint bringing in money or pussy. but then get mad when they left behind.

man.....niggas want to be immortalized in the streets but not immortalized by helping the youth be great.

niggas out here looking at the youth as the competition. niggas aint growing up no more....then who do these young boys have to look up to? grown ass boys.

while real niggas out here looking like food because they dont know what a real nigga is.

this is why i always say it starts with the men.....the men are letting our community down. its not enough dude who are stand up dudes because nigga always want a fuck nigga to get away with fuckery......its called letting him cook. but the allowing shit for their entertainment...not because it brings true value to anything.

look bruh....my fault...i didnt mean to go on a rant
i just see how far behind we are and niggas out here putting on brakes

I know what a black market is.

A website open to the general public does not qualify as a black market

It serves the black market. The black market is an economy built around illegal activity. Sex work is illegal in the vast majority of the United States, so it does qualify. You don't get to make up definitions dawg

This is exactly the point I always make in the R Kelly threads

There is a denotation and a connotation of a word. The denotation is primarily dependant upon the definition. The connotation provides varying degrees of application.

A black market exists under the radar of the public. If you had ever been to backpage or those craigisy personals, you'd know that the only discretion really used was in regard to method of payment. You didn't have to sign up to view or respond to advertisements. That is atypical of a black market industry.

It doesn't apply.

That atypicality is exactly why it was an issue: it permitted any consumer and provider with a platform. You're agreeing with my premises here. Are you really trying to say that this does not enhance the proliferation of sex work?
 
How is it not part of a black market when you agree it sells illicit services? The deep web is open to everyone, too, it just requires a different browser. There's very little tangible difference between silkroad and backpage but the fact that the latter is so open creates a greater amount of trade within the illegal sex work market.

Obama was atypical of a black man being President and all, guess that means he doesn't count as one according to your logic.

You do know prostitution is not illegal in all 50 states, right?

My point is that the sex industry is so diverse and nuanced that calling it a black market does no justice to its legitimate business aspects.

It's still illegal under federal law. You're splitting hairs there, but for the sake of argument I'll agree that it's not quite that simple to categorize. That being said, why don't you think having sites like that up and running makes the market bigger, which in turn means police require more resources?

Actually, prostitution doesn't fall under Fed jurisdiction. It's neither legal nor illegal under federal law because federal law doesn't cover it; it falls under state laws. The only thing applicable on a federal level is human trafficking, and in this case specifically human trafficking for commercial sex purposes.

THANK YOU!

That's not related to your point about larger markets being easier to regulate

I literally said what he said, just differently.

You can't call something a black market just because its regulation varies from state to state between advertisements and practice.

It's a black market when it's prohibited goods and services being exchanged. The fact that a very limited number of US States and counties permit it does not change the fact that sex work is a black market in most jurisdictions.

You wrote that regulation would be easier on backpage did not explain how it would not consume more resources if there are far more sales to monitor. Most states do not even appear to want to have regulated sex-work markets so talking about that makes no sense right now until voters change their mind.
