Americans: racism a big problem

The U.S. has elected a black president (1/2 black anyway), had a black AG who allowed voter intimidation several years ago in Philly. (and who referred to his people as "my people") The media salivates when finding a white cop who shoots a black guy. The same media eschews the thousands of incidents of black on white crime.

I would say 82% of Americans have had just about enough of this tired "racism" narrative.

 

America has a problem with certain people and groups refusing to let the race issue go away.

 

Probably the same thing they did with the money they got from other blacks who bought slaves. The slave market in Africa was thriving long before Whites showed up.

 

Really? As if they have ever known what to do with some bunch of coins given by a weird white guy. LoL... The fact of the matter is though, "some" African countries back then just "exchanged" their POWs, criminals, etc with bottles of wines, guns, stuff like that. I found this on the web, interesting;

Naw. The hyperliberal "news" media regularly cover up or ignore Black crimes. It would take me the rest of the evening to even begin to list some of the worse examples, but they include everything from the recent rape and murder of a pregnant woman in Indianapolis by a bunch of Blacks in something they called "the Kilt gang", to the brutal killing of a White man who had immigrated from Bosnia to the United States from Bosnia by a bunch of Black "youths" in St. Louis. And then there was the brutal murder of a woman in Colorado Springs who had just gotten married to an Army veteran. The Black who killed her then waited for her husband to arrive home and killed him, too. I could go on listing these all night....

 

Your comparison doesn't make any sense. You are talking about everyday murders above committed by criminals.

A cop killing a black person (or vice versa) due to their race is different in that it is a government agent abusing power to the point of murdering a citizen. How can you justify that?

 

I'm pretty sure it is very rarely due to their race. Much more likely the criminal was acting like a criminal and got shot for it. Easy fix, don't act like a criminal.

 

It's funny ... when foreigners come to the U.S. for the first time, most are impressed. They say things like, "This is much nicer than I expected based on what I've seen in the media".

 

A standard tip is 15% of the check total. 3% of the check total is taken out of my earnings whether or not I receive a tip to tip out other front of the house workers, meaning that I actually lose 3 dollars of the tips I have already earned if a $100 check stiffs me. Stiffs are extremely rare from any race except for blacks, from whom it is common and rarely an indicator of poor service. Mexicans are almost always fantastic tippers. A large table of Mexicans is almost a guaranteed 20% tip, whereas a large table of blacks will be very generous to leave five or ten dollars, nevermind the check percentage because that is irrelevant to them. Remember that a $200 check subtracts 6 from the tips I have already earned, so it is very discouraging to be in that position because the work will take your entire shift/ section, and you will literally lose money instead of making any.

Not blaming black people for my plight. I'm just giving you the details if you want to judge me for avoiding them. Do it fairly.

That said, I have gotten fantastic tips from some wonderful black people, but not enough to sway the statistics enough to justify not avoiding them. It is what it is. I don't blame them for anything. I just think I also shouldn't be blamed for seeking out higher tipping demographics. It's just business, and I am barely making it week to week. I simply can't afford to be politically correct. I envy those of you who can.
