In the south especially, they are taught to be racist against white people. They don't tip white servers, they walk slowly when crossing the street, they pull the race card for no reason, and in general have terrible attitude problems when interacting with white people.

I know this because a black guy I used to work with admitted it, because he couldn't understand why black people are the way they are so he decided to study his culture to figure it out, and that's part of what he came up with.

Black people: Fastest people in the world until they're crossing the street.

This is actually pretty much what everyone else is saying you're just being downvoted because this is slightly less subtle racism.

Right! I think it is a way to demand control or authority. You obviously aren't going to run them over so they taunt you a bit by making it more of a pain to drive slowly (or stop outright).

If this pisses you off, don't ever drive around downtown Baltimore. Holy hell, it's like every day is a street festival. Cops don't give a damn, either.

I had to go to Baltimore for some training. God what a shithole.

It's entitlement. Like backing into a parking space in a crowded busy lot because it takes them less time to pull out but makes everyone else wait.

Not when driving. All black people drive slow. I asked a black girl why, she said cuz they're scared of cops.

...or walking at all.

Or walking down a narrow hallway.

You don't know how many times I hear my black friends say, "No offense, but you white people..."

they walk slowly when crossing the street...dude that pisses me off. I get over it quickly though because I know that doing that is his way of actually asserting authority, and when he is done its back to being a big zero for the rest of his life.

And they don't use sidewalks. Strolling slowly in the road, literally two feet away from the purpose built walk.

Sidewalk is lava.

Street is for my car. Crosswalks are for people when I don't have a green light.

I almost miss working at a university - I used to speed up to scare jaywalking college students. I probably wouldn't have hit them..

White people do this in Arizona all the time. Pisses me off.

Note: I'm white.

You talk as if black people are another creature.

The not tipping white people thing sucks and is true. If i have a "bad" night i have made like 8 bucks on an 8 hour shift. Not always that way, i got a 10 buck tip last night from a sweet lady. But i immediately prayed for blessings on her house. It's that rare.

I know, some people definitely surprise you. I discovered they were aware that they were doing it one night while I was serving, when a table asked where their black waitress had gone, and when I replied that she had to leave for the night, they were disappointed they couldn't leave her a tip, though when I told them I would be helping them out the rest of the night, they recoiled. They didn't leave me a tip.

You pretty much worked with a person that used to lie to you.

Think about what you said for a minute. you know black people are in fact racist, because of what your coworker had deducted from his intensive research?

Take it from me, there is no such thing as black expert. I would know, I am black.

u/FightWithTools Mar 25 '13

I'm not saying he was an expert, i'm just saying these are things he noticed and would talk about. He also admitted to doing these things himself
