Exposing a Popular ALL WHITE Dinner Scam

Lost me soon as I heard $61 to WALK there

[vixxa]

i literally don't understand the purpose of any of this. walk? bring your own food? bring your own decor? sit on the street? pay for this privilege????

[tylo_tabent]

Basically paying to eat your own food around a bunch of strangers..OUTSIDE 😂😂😂

[saige]

This seems like the dumbest idea now that I’ve heard you explain it. You’re basically paying for a fancy block party but having less fun. That’s crazy! There’s no way I’m paying you to bring my food, table, decor, and sitting in the street…I can do that in my backyard for free 😂

[dabanjo]

can they charge you to walk on public streets?? 😕

Dinner en blanc is a fine example of people following a trend for the sake of social media. If I’m going to spend a few hundred, someone is bringing me my food & drinks in a nice vibe atmosphere. This is too much work.

So y’all were charged to walk to the venue, set up your own table and food and sit in a parking lot for hours. With the ability to take photos in a half a hot air balloon with circus acts and human statues as entertainment until singers came and saved the night, then had to pack up your stuff and take it all back home? Just making sure I know what this thing is all about.

The epitome of lack of hospitality. Sure looks like a money grab

[metaLungiez]

Our people will pay any amount of money to be seen. Being fly and being seen are our most important values. 🤦🏿‍♂️

A bunch of grown people eating in the middle of the street and having to pay 100s of dollars to do so....
Only in america

The fact that everyone at the same table had to eat the same thing is mind boggling. The minute I knew I had to pay to walk would've ended it for me. The audacity to charge people to walk on the streets and sidewalks they already pay for by paying taxes is crazy as hell.

Listening, 8 years ago, I wanted to go to this event for the exciting experience they portrayed on social media. Once I read the rules on how to partake in the event it was a big HELL NO for me. The idea I had to pay to bring everything including the food, I was like, what kinda ghetto shit is this? It’s not like you’re paying for a nice location or view. It’s a waste of money, energy, and time. However, you’re so right about everyone’s idea of fun and how it varies.

I like to support black businesses, but we gotta stop with the price gouging. It’s crazy af

I've never heard of a Dinner en blanc. But I don't see the point of a place where you have to bring your own food and tables just to listen to music and a few performances. I feel it's the exclusivity of paying for an event and wearing all white that makes people think it is better than what it really is. It's almost as if people can't admit that it wasn't worth it after they spent all that time getting ready and paying for it.

This is the prime example as to why we are the biggest consumers yet the smallest producers in this country.

The hot air basket was the most BAFFLING thing!! What on earth??? What was the point or enjoyment? Even taking a photo, I would be too embarrassed to post it, there wasn’t anything to see! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[Syncinatti]

So years ago my ex and her friends invited me to go to the one in NYC. When she explained to me everything that it entailed, I looked at her like she was dumb and said "You Buggin.... Hell No!!" I gave them a ride close to the event and watched them as they struggled in 90+ degree weather to drag the tables, chairs, decor, and food several nyc blocks (I couldn't help because I wasn't allowed to drive closer). It's a whole scam. People try to pretend it's fun because they don't want to feel stupid about their decision to go.

[BAYOUBOOM]

That's why I never attend events like that. Most of them are always overpriced and overhyped. Thanks for keeping it 💯

[sarahruth]

The balloon basket w no balloon? Lord almighty! Talk about a scam. I can't believe ppl pay so much for this when a backyard bbq would've been much more enjoyable.

[rosesmith]

What was the purpose of the hot air basket and no balloon?🤦🏽‍♀️this is a solid no for me
