well think about it this way.. have you ever been to a club when it was a cover and drinks were free? the bar tenders take forever because they are not working on tips they just take there sweet ass time..
and me and my buddies, who are white (once again not that i think it matters).. go to bufflo wild wings when they have specials and always getting shitty service because the mostly female staff usually just sit and joke around instead of thinking that nomatter what the deals are they still have a job to do..
we have a general rule when we hang out that its 20% of the bill plus five dollars per person for every hour we sat there taking up a table.. but at wild wings you can't do that because you usually are waitting to get your food not sitting around hanging out for that long
i can only speak for the ones in orange park, gainesville, and orlando floirda.. those are the ones i got to from time to time.
i'm not saying they the place is terrible, only saying when they have specails the workers there usually take it down ten steps.. also sporting events you might as well just order everything at one time because you won't see that person again for an hour

That is a cultural difference........ A lot of restaurants in Britain put a service charge on the bill, so there are no tips, unless the service was outstanding.
When the Brits go to the States they are not used to tipping so they don't bother to tip!!!!
Is that racial stereotyping?

Why tip someone for a job I'm capable of doing myself? I can deliver food. I can drive a taxi. I can, and do, cut my own hair. I did however, tip my urologist, because I am unable to pulverize my own kidney stones.

Um...I think there's a more of a correlation between the price of the wings (it is after all 25 cent wing night) and the amount of the tip than between the color of the persons skin and the amount of the tip. A patron on that particular night, whether white or black, is there for the bargain and not to spend a lot of money. Just my opinion.
In my experience as a waiter, I've found that French people tip horribly, but that's not bigotted or nationalistic. They're used to having the tip added on the bill before it's given to them, something I was told after serving a family of 8. On a $250.00 bill I was given $3 by a French family, which led me to start adding the service charge based on nationality (usually european). Anyone can say what they want about that, but I don't give my labor away for free.

Quit being an oversensitive *****!
Since when is telling the truth being racist? Oh, wait..this is America..you're labeled a racist unless you suck everyone off constantly. /sarcasm***No source checks!!!***

Nice post...glad to see common sense has not escaped everybody. You know, it's an elusive creature these days.
To be honest Nark, you aren't American which is what I think the man is trying to say. American blacks act completely different from lets say Africans or European Blacks. What is funny is watching an American black dude call an African "brother" and the African looks at him like he is nuts "I am not your brother".***No source checks!!!***

Im British and I tip. If I go to the hairdressers, I tip. If I go to eat at a restaurant, I tip. If I got out for drinks, I will often buy the first round. Yes, there are tight ****ers out there. The kinda people that don't tip are the first to expect something for free.

I believe racism is thinking that your specific race,ethnicity, is superior to others....everything else can be labeled prejudiced....I doubt there is anyone here that is totally unpredjudiced.....and I don't neccessarily see it as a bad thing....if I'm riding through a rough neighborhood....wherever it may be....black/white...doesn't matter....one that is consistantly on the news as having a severe crime problem...I tend to protect myself a little better than I would riding through an area that is less crime ridden...did I pre-judge that area?? Damn right!!...I also believe statistics play a huge part in people's prejudices.

Totally agree. Thats another thing about all the nighclubs I've worked at. We get the most trouble on hiphop nights. So for all the other nights of the week, people come to the door, show their id and pay to get in. Thats it.They get drinks served in glasses and glass bottles of beer.
On hip hop nights, the crowd gets patted down, bags and purses are checked, they get wanded by the metal detectors, all before they show ID or pay. Also, we bring in an outside security team, all wearing stabproof vests, and we also hire several cops to work outside the front door just for arrests. Drinks are served in plastic cups and beer is either poured into cups or served in plastic bottles.

Racism is real.
Every single person is absolutely racist to a degree. Harvard conducted hundreds of studies on this and has an excellent test anyone can take who doesn't believe their racist to prove that they actually are.
And it goes beyond skin color.
They found there is actually immediate genetic responses people will have based on skin color within miliseconds.
Racism is a survival mechanism.
Its just one of those things people don't like talking about because they THINK its extremely superficial which it is not.
Skin color is not a random product.
Its a product of a certain type of genes.
Those genes produce skin color, not vice versa. This also means those genes produce behavoirs you CAN'T see (intellectual abilities and behavoirs). Some things are more a stereotype while the short wide noses blacks have are a fact compared to the narrow longer ones white skinned people have.
Blacks are more promiscous (this is a fact plzz dont fvckn argue with me just go read something) and science as shown for years that more promiscous breeds or species also have characteristic longer penises.
So is it racist to say the average white guy has a shorter penis than the average black guy? No, you're stating a fact.
Now if its a black guy telling a white guy to his face he has a small dick, all a sudden its racism. What ever the case, I say fvck it. I am selfish, I DO like black people, and asians, but I am honest enough to say I WOULD NOT Like it if those populations dominated US.
Am I racist because of that? Prob.
Is it simply because I feel more comfortable around "my own kind" too? Sure
I think if people accepted why racism existed, they could be less offended by it rather than hiding it and making it seem like people just do it to make others mad, rather than to make themselves more happy and secure knowing "their kind" has a future in this world.
Its only natural. We are all human, but we are also all different in ways that are historically significant enough to justify racism. (holocaust) Should Jews not have some sort of fear towards Nazis?
Should blacks not have some sort of fear of whites (slavery)
Should whites not have some sort of fear of blacks (slavery)
When we have a history that is shaped on racism, we have a future obligation to never really "get over it". Because maybe, just maybe, our genes really don't want us to.
Seriously, next time you're trying to watch a movie, the most important part is on, and some black woman is going "mm hmm, mm mmm mm, white brothers be crazy" at the movie, you miss the dialouge, and everyone else in the movies start laughing hysterically at what you missed.
Tell me for a brief second a racist word didn't go through your head and I'll tell you your FOS.
We need to accept racism, and stop taking it so personal. People just do it. Civilization comes in the form of not wanting to kill people cause they do it, not by stopping racism itself.

Say what you want, I've worked in bars for 8 years, so has my girlfriend, and it's true... MOST of the time black people don't tip.
Sorry, I'm just reporting what I've seen over and over.
But also, white people who think they're black don't tip either.
My bar has hip hop shows a couple times a month and I refuse to work them, I had the same policy last place I worked. They come in and treat you like complete shit, ask a million stupid questions, complain about their drinks not being strong enough, and then tip you nothing. It's bullshit and no way for people to behave in a bar. And by "they" I mean the entire hip hop crowd, black and white.
I think it's this simple to assume... HIP HOP = NO TIP.

I agree, relative to the rest of the world that is. There is no way in hell that I could go to certain places in the world as a white male and experience the type of acceptance that US as Americans (black, white, hispanic, asian, native american, arab, jewish) afford outsiders of other countries no matter their ethnicity, religion, creed or beliefs. I am sorry America is the most tolerant place in the world, I dont care what anyone says.
Btw, I remember when this board was also about blasting newbs for doing dbol only cycles...Alas those were the days....

I like white people. Do i like every white person? absolutly I DON'T.
I just like to hang out with people of my own race.
We have more things in common, and i'm not speaking about physical traits but behavious, way of thinking, values etc
Do i avoid and hate every single person that is not white? absolutly I DON'T.
but, am i more careful when judging a non-white? Yes.
ethnic groups have common traits, some of which i despise. Is that unfair for a minority in that group? Yes. I try to seek the exception in each group and sometimes i don't .Life is tough.
Is that racist? If it is i don't care.
At least i'm honest. I don't go around preaching what the establishment says.

lol, for a few reasons actually. A club will get "burnt out" to people if it has the same type night every night of the week. people like mixing it up and going to other clubs. So you ideally want one or two popular nights of the week where everyone knows to go to your club. The other nights you still need to make money. so a lot of clubs do a hip hop night, some do a gay night, some do a gothic night, etc. Now people involved in those scenes will make our club the hot spot for those nights. This way the club has a good crowd as many nights of the week as it can.
However, since hip hop nights generally dont generate a lot of money from the bar, a lot of the clubs double or triple the entry fee. One club I work at has a big dance room separated from the other dance rooms and the only way to get up is for you and your friends to buy a bottle of moet for 80 bucks. (And no its not a vip room) Again, this was all in response to the crowd not buying drinks or tipping.
Security gets paid more than usual which is why some guys work. Bartenders get forced to work almost as punishment. If they dont do a hip hop shift, they won't be given a shift on one of the good nights.
Also, In certain areas a lot of the clubs are financially connected in some way, so owners from clubs in one area will sometimes have each of the clubs have a hip hop night on different nights of the week. One on thurs, another club on fri, and another on sat. that way it will keep the hip hop crowd out of the other clubs on their good nights and keep the crowd happy.Last edited by VeraDeMilo; 02-09-2009 at 04:18 PM.

See this is what I'm talking about.
Once you accept you like people who are like you and think like you, you accept the fact that there are people who DON'T think like you.
I'm more to prone to think someone who says they aren't racist is racist than someone like this who simply states facts of life.
And I like the bold sentence the most.
He DOESN'T CARE if his thoughts are considered racist because he not gonna go out and kill someone over it.
People who hide racism are the ones who go out at night tieing nooses around trees.
And lastly, people can "stereo-type" things like prisoners as animals or unsophisticated but they really are just you and me, they just happened to get caught.
And look at how being racist in prison actually keeps you alive.
First week in that prison I was getting scary ass looks till I stopped sitting alone and started sitting at the all white table.
Because every black guy wanted to kill me? No
Because easiest prey is prey wondering outside the pack
Me going to sit at an all black table would have been like a zebra sitting at a table of hungry lions.
I just went and sat with other zebras and the lions left me alone.
The threat in real life of course is much lower, but its still prevalent enough to warrant racism.

There was a story i heard in one of my classes the other day. It was about a teacher who worked at a very diverse school. He was a great teacher, and received really good ratings from his students. However, outside of school, he participated in white supremicist rallies, celebrated hitlers birthday...and some other things like that. However, in school, he treated the students equal, and was a very good teacher. Take in mind too that he worked in a culturally diverse school. He claimed that he went to school to teach and do his job, and thats it. What he did at home was what he did at home. He was fired over it though..
I dont even know what it has to do wit this thread...just wanted to throw it in here....
maybe someone can relate it or something lol
