meazza Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 Nope, it's more cultural than anything else. When I was waiting on tables back in college, we would get some of the professional football players to come to the restaurant or some of the hip hop "moguls" and they still wouldn't tip worth a ****. So, I'm not buying the "poor" excuse. Unless you're a stripper. In that case, they're throwing money at your behind...
GG Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 Black people are also notoriously late to EVERYTHING. Invite them to something and they wont show up for two hours after the start of the event. Im just sayin' I think it's more of a Carribean thing than a black thing.
DC Tom Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 I think it's more of a Carribean thing than a black thing. Very much a Peruvian thing, too.
keepthefaith Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 I think it's more of a Carribean thing than a black thing. No, it's a black thing. Next time you see one of your black buddies, tell him you want to meet him at 8:00 CPT (color people time). He'll know what you mean.
DC Tom Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 No, it's a black thing. Next time you see one of your black buddies, tell him you want to meet him at 8:00 CPT (color people time). He'll know what ypou mean. Or just tell him a crowd is beating down an innocent white person. Then he'll be on time.
Magox Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 Very much a Peruvian thing, too. And a Bolivian thing, too.
RkFast Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 I think it's more of a Carribean thing than a black thing. Dead balls accurate...the folks Im talking about.....quite a few....are all Jamaican. Funny though, we invite them for dinner or to a family thing like a Christening and the first question always is "We on black people time or white people time for this?" Point of all this...labeling the practice of pointing out benign cultural differences as somehow "racist" is pretty !@#$ing stupid.
3rdnlng Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 Unless you're a stripper. In that case, they're throwing money at your behind... How do you know? Any anectdotal experiences you would like to share?

Point of all this...labeling the practice of pointing out benign cultural differences as somehow "racist" is pretty !@#$ing stupid. When I spent a semester in Cape Town, we called it, "Africa Time," meaning expect everyone to be 30 minutes to an hour late. Although, the white South Africans were always late too...
meazza Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 How do you know? Any anectdotal experiences you would like to share? Have you ever seen a rap video?
KD in CA Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 Unless you're a stripper. In that case, they're throwing money at your behind... Good of you to provide an opposite example. In most clubs, black strippers are tipped much less than their white counterparts. Again, cultural preferences.
3rdnlng Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 Have you ever seen a rap video? Not if I can help it.
RkFast Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 Have you ever seen a rap video? I love rap videos...they are ALL the same.... A) FLASH the CASH B) Flash the whip (car) C) Flash the booty Rinse repeat. The bands and producers KNOW the "formula" for their success and DONT try to change a good thing, like WHITE PEOPLE LOVE to do.
John Adams Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 I love rap videos...they are ALL the same.... A) FLASH the CASH B) Flash the whip (car) C) Flash the booty Rinse repeat. The bands and producers KNOW the "formula" for their success and DONT try to change a good thing, like WHITE PEOPLE LOVE to do. White people love the diverse array of music produced by American Idol.
GG Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 White people love the diverse array of music produced by American Idol. They also love Wayne Brady.
DC Tom Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 They also love Wayne Brady. Who's not as black as Bill Clinton...
Frit0 Bandit0 Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 At the risk of being banned, I will leave it alone. you racistisist
Frit0 Bandit0 Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 Is this the crackers with a black friend thread
John Adams Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 7 of the 8 people eliminated from American Idol thus far have been minorities. Good news for WisconsinBillzfan: The balance is slowly returning to white side up. Stay classy America.
WisconsinBillzFan Posted March 5, 2010 Author Posted March 5, 2010 http://www.ohio.com/news/50172282.html This should make even the furthest left liberals become staunch supporters of the 2nd Amendment. Happy reading Mr Adams!
