[Racism] African Americans in Restaurants

What are blacks doing to fight racial stereotypes other than blaming non-blacks for their reactions to blacks?

Are they working to reduce crime in their neighborhoods? Are they working to increase graduation rates? Are they working to reduce babies born out of wedlock?

Perhaps it's time to address the underlying causes of stereotyping and discrimination -- some of which is innate.

What are people's thoughts on this?

 

yes, I will gladly tip fifty percent to fight the stereotypes that hold me down.

you're an idiot

 

I mean who else could turn a conversation about tipping to graduation rates and crime just so they can expouse their racist thoughts. ridamndiculous

 

Damn, pgabriel said it all. Those are some pretty ignorant statements Trader, even for you.

 

Wake up and smell the coffee.

 

What coffee? Your little comments look like you listened to or read William Bennett's comment on the subject and agreed. So should we start aborting black babies?

 

after a 15 minute wait of course, since black folks don't like to drink coffee.

 

JORGE IS TAKING IT UP A NOTCH!!!!

 

he can't, the waiter won't serve him any


*rimshot*

 

LOL!!!

 

pffft try *clang

 

i know what you mean. stereotyping is alive and well and looking for new ways to claim racism isnt helping

 

If only we were all colorblind like Stephen Colbert, the world would be a better place

 

Stereotyping can be racist. Why is that so hard to comprehend?

 

I've got the feeling this is the start of a beautiful relationship. You can look forward to future tj posts proposing forced sterilization of black males as a crime reduction measure, followed by donkey classics like "good point".

 

do you realize that restaurants have been sued successfully for actively promoting discriminating against blacks. this isn't a new topic, and it didn't happen in the fifties and sixties.

 

now that's funny

 

I notice that when a republican gets caught in a huge controversy or when the far right is caught being racist, T_J is nowhere to be found. Talk about trying to counter the stereotypes, he's the biggest hypocrite of them all.

 

There is No Racism. It is all in your head. It is your fault. There is No Racism

 

I've actually heard about this quite a few times - friends telling me Sunday morning church-types are the absolute WORST tippers ever.
