10 MYTHS ABOUT BLACK PEOPLE.


Today a gentleman who reads my blog and who happens to be white, was telling me how surprised he was at some of the comments from African Americans (how does he know their race?) after my post about the recent police chase and beat down here in Philly. "Field quite a few of the African Americans on your site seemed to be sympathetic to the cops. Who knew?"
 
I did. I knew that black people aren't monolithic, and that we are full of surprises.

But his question got me thinking: What are some of the other misconceptions white people have about us black folks?


1. BLACK PEOPLE AREN'T PATRIOTIC- That is so wrong. Black folks are some of the most patriotic A-merry-cans. Trust me, I know. I have been in quite a few knock down drag out fights with my A-merry-can brothers and sisters about my patriotism because I happen to have been born outside of this country. Black folks love this country. If they didn't, they would have burned it down a long time ago.


2. BLACK PEOPLE ALWAYS AGREE WITH EACH OTHER- Nothing could be farther from the truth. Black folks love to argue and fight more than any other group. We don't ever agree on shit. Don't believe me? Put a bunch of black folks in a room and watch them try to come together around a common goal. Talk about "herding cats."


3. BLACK FOLKS ARE SOFT ON CRIME- This is for my colleague. I hope he is reading the blog tonight as well. Any trial lawyer who practices cases in urban areas knows this fact: Black folks tend to be actually tougher on criminals, because we are more often than not the victims of crimes committed by some of the people in our own neighborhoods. Sadly, the white man's grass is always greener mind set doesn't extend to the criminals among us. To them, our grass is the only one worth taking. We have no love for that element among our people.

4. BLACK PEOPLE ARE VERY RELIGIOUS- Wrong! Black people love to go to church, but we are not very religious. We will go to church and talk shit about who is wearing what, and about what the pastor talked about in his sermon. But I honestly think that it's a small number of folks in the church who are really religious, or at least trying to be.


5. BLACK FOLKS ALL LOOK ALIKE- Come on now. Look at Flava Flav, and look at Denzel Washington and tell me if you still think that shit is true.


6. BLACK PEOPLE LOVE THEIR CARS MORE THAN THEIR HOUSES. Nope, that's a myth too. We black people just use our cars a a *crutch(thanks PFABA) because we can't get a nice house to live in. I bet if we had nice houses like white folks we would love our houses, too. But our credit is fucked up and we can't come up with the $20,000 down payment for a house, so we invest what little money we do have into our cars.

7. BLACK PEOPLE ARE LAZY-Wrong! Wrong! Wrong! Black people have no incentive to work because we don't own shit. We figure we are working to make someone else rich, and we are always going to get paid just enough to keep the company profitable. It's why so many black folks work for the post office. We figure if we are going to work, it might as well be for a someone we pay taxes to. At least we can say we own some of the federal government, and we know that if it's not profitable they won't fire our asses.


8. BLACK PEOPLE ALWAYS VOTE FOR THE BLACK CANDIDATE NO MATTER WHAT-Another myth! Black people will vote for the black candidate if he is a democratic candidate. Just ask Michael Steele, and Alan Keys if they think black people always vote for the black candidate. A white democrat will beat a black republican in a black neighborhood every time. It's not about race, it's about party.

9. BLACK PEOPLE ARE NOT ADVENTUROUS-Myth! When you are black every day is a fucking adventure. So we don't have to go searching for shit like bungee jumping and sky diving to get an adrenalin rush. Just walking home from the bus stop is adventure enough for most black folks.


10. BLACK PEOPLE DON'T TIP-This is one of those self fulfilling prophecy deals. If you, the waiter, dumb down your service when you see black folks because you think they won't tip you, guess what's going to happen? You guessed it; bad service, low tip.


I'm out.

      This is utter bullshit. It's not white America's fault that black people (not all but alot), can't get their shit together. You vote for the Democrat always? Funny, that's the party that makes sure welfare keeps sending checks and elevates taxes on wealthy business owners which only trickles down to the hard working middle class in the form of less hours or layoffs. If you're collecting handouts then who cares about those of us that work for what we have. Also, if black people have bad credit it's because at some point they were given a line of credit and screwed it up. Not because they are black! Patriotic? Well then you patriots need to round up the scum I've seen recently burning our flag while sporting your skin color and fix them. I know if I get the chance I will make the news delivering a true patriot message to any of those flag burning traitorous motherf!#"er's! Lastly, if you want the overall perception of your race here in America to change then you, as a people, have alot of work to do reeling in a whole bunch of bad apples. Nobody owes you anything here so stop reverting back to excuses of shit that happened over 100 years ago. The negative way the world perceives black people is only referring to black people in the United States. By your own doing, the only difference between slavery days and now, is.......not much, and that's truly sad.

    Bang bang, Field. It's interesting that you can already see the diversity in black folks' thinking by the time I post this. For one, for many of us Black folk, hell is right here, and thus #4 can be construed in multiple ways. Secondly, I tip very well when the service is good, but I tip like shit when the service is that. I've actually written notes on the back of receipts when I thought the service was crappy. Real talk.

    The "Black people are lazy" comment always happens to anyone the "majority" considers second-class citizens. When Italians came here, they were called lazy. When the Irish came here, they were called lazy. Even to this day, Mexicans and Haitian immigrants are being called lazy, and many of them work as taxpayers but reap no benefits from that system! Stop the madness!

    Finally, I think for #3, people confuse us understanding where crime comes from with actually corroborating with criminals. It's important to distinguish the difference. Then again, no one will help us change any of these perceptions but ourselves, because really, the system is pretty much exactly how that "majority" wants it.

    Anyhoo, I think it is the lot in life of all racial minorities to be painted with the monolithic brush (Black, Latino and Asian in particular). Although my wife and I agree that the stereotyping is worst when it comes from well-meaning middle-class or wealthy white liberals. The average "redneck" in our experience tends to start off with ignorant assumptions but take you on your own merits eventually, whereas many WASP-y sorts seem to harbor misconceptions for as long as they know you. At least that's what we've seen when it comes to how they relate to Mrs. Blue, in all her locced-and-loaded glory.

    Hey Field -- love this post. I think the "Black people are lazy" myth is a holdover from slavery. And who can blame us if we did as little as we could get away with without getting a beating? That wasn't lazy....that was smart and the only form of protest short of poisoning massa's food or running away.

  11. BAWAAAAAHHH!

    That was hilarious.

    But number ten, I disagree with. I worked in the restaurant business for nearly 12 years. I wouldn't say that we don't tip--but lots of us surely don't know how or the science behind it. And many of us also feel like it is our job to shit on our server or bartendar because we "deserve to be served for once"

    Lots of my guests of the same hue based their tip knowledge on the idea that the tip is "extra" and not how servers and bartenders eat-$2.13 an hour doesn't cover shit...not even taxes.

    But I never dumbed down my service...and as a matter of fact was very good at diffusing foolishness with servers who managed try that mess on the wrong one.

    But that just meant I didn't get the standard $2 tip. I got the "girl you sure hooked it up" $5--didn't matter whether the bill was $50 or $150.

    12 years? about 70% of the time that was the case...

    And let me not get started on the "fabulous" patrons.

      Are you trying to say that black people aren't people? Because guess what, we are. I hate how people who think like you are able to live everyday. Every person on earth is equal, they are human beings. I am guessing you are not black so i would like to take my point across. Unlike other races that turn green, purple, blue, orange and all other colors, black people stay one color. So people like you have no right to say " colored people". Before you start talking about other races, look at your self in the mirror. Gay people are people, first of all. They were not born " sick", they just fell in love with their same gender. Gay people do not hurt you in any way so leave them alone. People like you go to hell because god made everyone the way how he wanted them and when gay people get sent to heaven. He will forgive them for being with their same gender but he will not be dissapionted that they found love and should have been happy. So take your sorry self and pray because the devil is loving you right now.

    Contradiction. It does not matter why folks don't work. If they don't work they don't work. No work equals lazy. No work means wanting something for nothing. Shit in one hand and wish for things to get better and see which one delivers.

    I'm tired of sorry ass fools begging me for a damn job. because I am a government supervisor I'm to get every Leroy, Levon and Tyrell a damn job? True story, this brother was bugging me about a job. Called and asked if we could meet for lunch and after we ordered he said he was short on cash. He wanted a job from me and I ended up paying, like I'm his man. After a month went by he went into the top dog's office demanding a hook up because everyone else gets the hook up. He did 20 in the service and deserves a hook up. I got a call asking if I knew that fool. From now on, when someone asks me for a job, I'm turning the corner.

    Re. tipping---I've been doing this for years:
    When the service is bad, instead of not leaving a tip or leaving a small tip, I leave one penny! Now, that one cent says more about the bad service than it does about my actually not bothring to leave a tip in the first place. It says that the service was just plain bad. And I always leave it in plain view of the dishes/glasses/cutlery on the table so that there will be no mistaking that I meant to leave one shiny penny for the horrible service. Folks think black folk are poor tippers, if they tip at all. Well, one cent tells them more than leaving nothing does.

  18. #8, I agree with you up until that last sentence. Carol Mosley, Shirley Chisolm, Al Sharpton, and Jesse Jackson were black and democrats and all blacks didn't vote for them. It's about the party to a certain extent. However,the most important deciding factor is they think that person is qualified to be the president and how they stand on the issues.

    All blacks are not lazy either. Tell that to some of them old folks who scrubbed toilets, floors, cooked in white folks kitchens, or whatever other type of work they did to help pay for their youngins to go to college. I bet you might find out that you're not too old to go outside and fetch a switch off that old tree out yonder for them to tan your behind.

    Counselor Field, thank you for addressing the perception of monolithic groupthink - a buddy of mine who is black in an all-white workplace was often asked, "What do your people think?," any time a racial issue came up in the local fishwrapper. He'd always respond, "I appreciate the compliment that I am a spokesperson for 35 million Americans but you'll just have to be satisfied with my personal views on the issue."

    The whole post is outstanding but this:

    When you are black every day is a fucking adventure. So we don't have to go searching for shit like bungee jumping, and sky diving to get an adrenalin rush. Just walking home from the bus stop is adventure enough for most black folks."

    Okay, the tipping thing just grinds my nerve. I waited tables in both Sacramento and Ann Arbor and before that time I had never heard that "black people don't tip" until the servers would grumble whenever seated with either blacks or the elderly.

    My admittedly unscientific experience was this, people who don't have much extra money tend not to tip. Period. While I would get some chintzy tips from black and elderly people, I would also occasionally get stiffed by the ladies who lunch and ask for hot water for their own tea bags, college students and young families with a pack of toddlers.

    What worked for me was to be pleasant, courteous, as quick as politely possible and hope that if a table is going to "camp" that they will tip accordingly and for the most part, it worked. Approach a table with the attitude that you're less than pleased to wait on them and you deserve whatever undertipping you get.

I recently came from an area where I'd maybe get one black table a month (who tipped quite well every time except one couple), to an area where every table I've been getting is black, maybe 2 white tables a night. I've been here 2 days and have been stiffed 4 times already, that's twice as much as I've been stiffed in my entire serving career. I can't believe it! It has made me extremely racist, and I'm usually a really nice person!

  23. 1. BLACK PEOPLE AREN'T PATRIOTIC

    Indeed many of us are patriotic. Sadly though as we hear other "Permanently Discontented Kneegrows" running down the country on the Internet but fail to tell them that the very Internet that they use to spread their propaganda has fiber optic lines that are trenched through "stolen lands" and thus they are CONSUMER CAPITALIST CO-CONSPIRATORS they miss the opportunity to have the "Anti-America Americans" to truly consider how abstract their thoughts are from their actions in real life. There are just too many Black Nationalist Revolutionaries with an e-mail address hosted with a major corporation (Google) and a MySpace page which is owned by Rupert Murdock.

    2. BLACK PEOPLE ALWAYS AGREE WITH EACH OTHER

    Indeed we do not. But one must consider the assault that one receives for their disagreement though. The best way to get "de-blackified" is to dare question the Black Quasi-Socialist Progressive-Fundamentalist Racism Chaser that holds the balance of the racial gravitational pull among our people. It is not that he is "right" it is that he holds the balance of power. If only this power was producing more for our people his domination would be just.

    3. BLACK FOLKS ARE SOFT ON CRIME Black folks tend to be actually tougher on criminals, because we are more often than not the victims of crimes committed by some of the people in our own neighborhoods.

    Yeah Right. This is why there was a march in Philly last year about gun violence. They departed West Philly and rode 117 miles to the west to go to Harrisburg to pass a law that would KEEP GUNS OUT OF THE HANDS OF THE BLACK MEN WHO WERE RAISED OUT OF OUR OWN HOUSES SO THAT THEY WOULD STOP KILLING EACH OTHER.

    Sadly the average hard core inner city community has a homicide CLOSER RATE of between 28% and 45%. This means that if you kill a Black person in these zones you have a better chance of walking away with impunity from your crime. At least the Klan had a rigged jury system that allowed them to get off free. Today what is the excuse?

    4. BLACK PEOPLE ARE VERY RELIGIOUS-

    In too many (not all) of today's Black church the ideological bigotry that is present is cemented in by preachers who misuse biblical guidance. Reverend Jeremiah Wright warned his parishioners that the RIGHT WING was about to take away a woman's right to her own body by reversing Rowe v Wade. I would love to see which biblical reference he based this admonition off of. Maybe our resident christian progressive can fill us in on this?

    The Black church of today enforces the flawed theory of NON-JUDGMENTALISM. In truth it is "selective judgmentalism" in which the liberal ethos is advanced at the cost of the inability to advance our own cultural salvation upon our own backs, instead lobbying for the outside force of government to do so.


    5. BLACK FOLKS ALL LOOK ALIKE-

    The long White T dress code was implemented so that young folks up to no good with misplaced loyalties to the force of law and order would all be indistinguishable to the police.


    6. BLACK PEOPLE LOVE THEIR CARS MORE THAN THEIR HOUSES because we can't get a nice house to live in


    Interesting how you apply inferiority to us all Field-Negro. Speak for yourself. I have a nice house that I have earned from conspiring in this capitalistic system on behalf of corporations.

    I can tell you about some young people who I know that have made stupid financial moves that have destroyed their CREDIT. I assure you that if you owned your own bank you would not provide them with a home loan either....that is IF your goal was to stay in business rather than follow a course of altruism.

    7. BLACK PEOPLE ARE LAZY-Black people have no incentive to work because we don't own shit. We figure we are working to make someone else rich, and we are always going to get paid just enough to keep the company profitable.

    And this is the type of illogic that has the Koreans, Chinese, Indians and Pakistanis increasingly purchasing businesses in our community and creating wealth for themselves. The entire flair up around the Black hair care take over by the Koreans was done in the context of Black folks looking OUTSIDE for economic opportunity while others were WATCHING US and saw the vast opportunity contained within.

    Clearly when you don't know yourself and you hitch onto biased political and ideological messages that tell you that you are DAMAGED GOODS from slavery and that some outside force is key to your salvation ----- you will allow others to cultivate the land that has always been right under your feet.


    8. BLACK PEOPLE ALWAYS VOTE FOR THE BLACK CANDIDATE NO MATTER WHAT-Myth!


    Your statement perverts the very essence of the Black Political advocacy. You tell us that Blacks would rather vote for the White Democrat than the Black Republican. Unfortunately the Black Republican is such a small and irrelevant component of the political array it is not even worth registering this as your point.

    BY FAR the bigger concern to you should be the VAST AMOUNT OF PEOPLE WHO YOU DO VOTE FOR BY POPULAR MANDATE and how they have thus far FAILED to:

    * Improve your public schools as they had promissed
    * Make your streets safe for you to be able to rebuild community relationships in the veil of safety and protection that you feel
    * Activate the BODIES of your people by first activating their BRAINS - having them dutifully employed within your community and working toward a stronger, productive end and learning human resource management which spills over into CONFLICT RESOLUTION.
    * Healthy lifestyles - where the quality of life is improved because the choices made by the individuals allow them to avoid debilitating diseases and conditions later on in life.

    I understand you though Field-Negro - you and others of my brothers and sisters HATE CONSERVATIVES MORE THAN YOU LOVE YOURSELVES.

    But let me ask you Field: What is your "Now that we have purged all of the conservatives from power over our community we are going to start MANAGING our favorable officials that are in place to obtain actual benefit from them" plan?

    Do you see that you pervert the Black Political Advocacy AWAY FROM THE END GOAL and toward an activist fight against some ideology? Clearly (as we can see in Detroit, Philly, New Orleans and Akron, among other cities) the worst possible condition for you to be in is HAVING WON YOUR FIGHT in its perverted form.

    I don't know about you - but my political advocacy is to have the key points that I have listed above to come to fruition within the Black community. I have far more evidence that your advocacy has FAILED to do this than you do that it has succeeded.

    I agree that the BQPFRC has learned how to win elections. As far as bringing the benefits back home to the community - the flaws in your strategy and tactics will always prevent this UNTIL YOU CHANGE!!! You are not willing to change because POWER has perverted you from your original goal.


    9. BLACK PEOPLE ARE NOT ADVENTUROUS-Myth! When you are black every day is a fucking adventure.
    Just walking home from the bus stop is adventure enough for most black folks.


    Again 'Safe Streets" were supposed to be one benefit of not voting for the Black Republican - right?

    Which Black Republicans have ever ran in Philly anyway? Sounds to me that some of the problems are apolitical but since POLITICS are your goal the people will just have to continue to suffer from the TERRORISM that they feel on the streets as their leadership USES THEM for their votes in a different fight.

    10. BLACK PEOPLE DON'T TIP
    We dispensed with this the other day.

    Those of you who support THE LIVING WAGE can initiate this on your own. You don't need a government mandate placed upon the owners of the establishment for you to give a pay bonus to the employees on your own.

    #10 I'd rather the restaurant owners raised prices to cover their labor cost so that I could expect professional and well-paid service. Oh wait, how could I indulge my fantasy of social superiority unless the server was paid so little that they had to kowtow to me?

    #6 If you can't buy the MainLine mansion, you'll sink your cash into a nice vehicle. Lots of white folk around the Philly area live in nasty housing but have $40,000 pickups with 4WD. Why would anybody in the Philly area need a pickup or 4WD? Parking is dada, gas mileage for these 'compensators' is low, and the Schuykill Expressway is more designed for hot hatches.

    #7 Black folk are both the hardest working and the laziest. My GF worked more in a day than my co-worker did in a fiscal quarter. GF never let grass grow under her. Then I'd drive through one section of town during working hours and all these young black mens would be 'chillin'. Funny thing was that I'd return by the same street and there they still were. Funnier, I was goiing to my dead-end job that the lads declined. There's work. It bites, pays little, and is not really all that dreamy. But, it's work and it's a start. Unlike Whitest Whitesylvania where I now live, the evilbig city has jobs.

  26. I knew that black people aren't monolithic, and that we are full of surprises.

    The same can be said about every group: Gay people, White people, Asians, Hispanics, etc.

    Not all Gay people are liberal.
    Not all Asians are good at math.
    Not all White people worship cops.
    Not all Hispanics are illegals.

    Still though, I am always, always, taken aback when I encounter a Gay conservative. It just blows my mind. I'm like, "Dude, what the fuck is wrong with you?"

    Jews were "natural athletes" once too (boxing among other things).

    It's just a plain fact that rising in the sports is a lot easier for someone who doesn't understand the entire business lingo.

  30. This is a great blog. I want to point out the lack of attention Hillary Clinton's commments yesterday to USA today about how she has the support of "hard working", "white" working class Americans has gotten. This language is both deplorable in itself and will further divide the Democratic party. Why were Rev. Wright's sermons and talks to the NAACP and Nat'l Press Club replayed over and over again on the cable networks while this comment is receiving such paltry attention?

    Field thank you so much about the tipping myth...I am one of those who over tip because of the stereotype but I have begin cutting that out. A few weeks ago I had some family in from out of town and we went to an upscale restaurant in D.C. The service was HORRIBLE and I was so embarrassed. Needless to say a tip was out of the question.

    As a former server, let me say to all of the waitstaff out there Don't base your service on what you think may happen. Each customer is different.

    Tipping

    If your service was bad, Leave the Tip...then give voice to your concerns to the manager. Not leaving a tip puts you into the category of @sshole and you can bet the manager is just putting you off until your sorry, whiny @ss is out the door. With a full tip, your bona fides are established and since you are not an @sshole, your plaint has merit and they will work with you.

    Stiffing on a tip marks you. NO excuses please.
    I gives Jeebus 10% so you should get less
    I'se a poor college student/wage slave/black person
    The server was not obsequious/deferential/pleasant/

    The manager has worked with the server. They know the server's work ethic and what is most likely. With the tip you have street cred. Without it, you are just another WATB and you'll get the absolute minimum.

    Oh, and FYI to my peeps re: #10; as Miss Mannners says, leaving a small tip only indicates that you are stingy or cheap, leaving NO TIP displays dissatisfaction with the service.

    I'm just saying' - don't leave no penny, don't leave nothing if the service sucks.

    Hey FN:
    I hate those myths too. But sometimes #9 seems to be true. My husband and I love to camp and be in the mountains. Since we have been together, we have been MANY places in California and Nevada and the number of Blacks participating in these activities is staggeringly low.

    My brother in law works for the park service and he said they have done lots of minority drives to attract Blacks and Hispanics (namely Mexicans) and have garnered nothing. I wonder why that is.

    Granted, walking down the streets of East Oakland is an adventure, but one that taxes the soul. Equally adventurous is a trip to Robert's Park in Skyline to be among the Redwood clones and take a hike.

    But rarely did I see Blacks do that in Oakland, mostly it was Whites and some Asians.

    What is up with that?

    ReplyDelete
  38. #10 - If they don't seem nice by the time I take my seat: I'll walk out. Life's too short to wait for crappy service. And I like to tip - usually 18% or more.

    #1 - I marvel at the dumb luck of whites in America's history. Pat Buchanan is the one who should be thanking blacks on his knees. Black people could have been like the Basque ETA, the IRA, and then some. Although the wiser choice was to seek integration and full citizenship peacefully.

  39. A car is a crotch? ROTFLMAO! What a great typo.

    "Black people aren't adventurous...Just walking home from the bus stop is adventure enough for most black folks."

    Bwaaahahahahahaha. It isn't actually funny at all but living in my neighborhood is becoming a daily exercise in survival. Just walking from my car to the front or back door increases my heart rate. Let those bungie jumping fools take a stroll down my street at 10PM. Now THAT's adventuresome.

    I defy most of those stereotypes. I still have a US flag in the front window from 9-11. Not because I'm a flag waving right wing nut but because I need for people to know that being patriotic also means believing your government is full of shite and the right wing does not have a corner on the patriotism market. If I didn't care about this country, I would be like most working and middle class people, including lots of white folks, who don't vote, who can't name their school board rep, their state attorney general, who don't know what the separation of powers is, etc. I care a lot. So the flag is about being an American who cares and who will always kick Uncle Sam in the butt when he farks up, which is just about every day, and twice on Sunday.

    And can we for once and for all settle this 90% of blacks support Obama stuff? Hillary enjoyed 70% of the black vote for most of last year. White people didn't have a problem with that, except the right wing who like to point out that blacks will vote for a party that does nothing for them (which is true but we know that the GOP does less than that). Then Bill acted like a fool in January and black folks let him know that he didn't have that kind of license with black people to say any darn thing he wanted just to get his old lady elected. Bill's behavior was so outrageous even WHITE PEOPLE were taken back by it. So it's no surprise that blacks abandoned Hillary like rats from a sinking ship. That 90% support for Obama was a journey from support for the "beloved" Clintons to Obama. I'm sick of hearing that black people have a herd mentality about supporting black candidates. Please note that many prominent blacks are still supporting Hillary.

    I wonder if you would be more appeased with the news that a gay man was mugged in Philly (I am not saying that you live there) because Philly is out of control as law and order breaks down and thus he was a MAN in the wrong place at the wrong time rather than a gay man in Philly being attacked because he was gay?

    This is the same paradox being faced within the Black community which causes too many of my people to put aside the prioritization of their own self interests as they assist someone else to obtain more power in the American political system.

    Thanks Field, this post had me rollin'!

    "Black folks love this country. If they didn't, they would have burned it down a long time ago." Contrary to popular belief, we don't always destroy what we build.

    My two cents on tipping:

    1) Most servers make half of minimum wage, the idea being that your tip brings it up to living wage. Like Jonzee said, all of that is eaten in taxes.

    2) Most servers have to tip out to bartenders, busboys, etc. This is based on how much they do in sales, not how much they make in tips. BOTTOM LINE: If you don't tip, they have to pay out of pocket to tip out, so they actually LOSE money.

    3) Sometimes bad service is not necessarily the server's fault. There's a lot that goes into getting your food on the table.

    Like Anon 12:28 said, the best thing to do is to tell a manager (and you don't have to wait until you leaving). At a decent restaurant they'll compensate you in some way (like a discount), and they'll light a fire under the server's @ss. Not tipping does nothing.

    I found that if I am getting the "she's black" service, I say something to the server at the end about not judging customers and tip them relatively well. That always has them embarrassed and gets them to think twice.

    Thanks for letting me rant!

Now, I don't support Hamas and I don't know a whole hell of a lot abt them, but Jimmy Carter is a million years old and has been doing good ever since he left office. If he feels the need to talk to them, that's his business. But I didn't say that. I just nodded and walked away. She stood there with her mouth open because I didn't share her outrage.

    Blacks are monolithic, I'm on of them thats breaking the mold! This is Obama's base voter... oh plus the kiddies who have no clue how the world works. He needs to draw in more voters and sad to say, he is not doing this. Just saying McCain is Bush III is very stupid when even Republicans know damm well McCain is barley Republican let alone Bush III. McCain is good on drawing Independents and Mods.

    Face the fact about the War in Iraq, its sucks however Americans know we can just walk away, this is my McCain is the GOP front runner. Obama is not walking away either (but people think he is). The Economy is not doing all to bad and all you need is the Republicans to tell the truth about High Gas Prices and how the Democrats DO NOT want YOU to drive, Obama can hope and change all they way back to the Peoples Republic of Cook County Illinois.

    Urban Areas and Blacks is a damm shame... and its Blacks that are the blame. Give a black person a chance, they would open a Club before a grocery store, they would open a steak hoagie joint before a bakery. They will cry poor waiting for the K-Marts, Home Depots and Foot Lockers to "invest in the hood" before just pulling up the bootstraps and going into business for themselves... or complain about the Arabs/Koreans/Mexicans coming into there neighborhoods and now running shit and thats the pure blame on blacks "hope and change" that Politicians (black and white) would place laws and standards that are Un-American and rely dependence of the Government instead of doing the damm thing for there own community.

    Regarding black peoples' patriotism, of course I agree with you but I would note that black folks have MUCH more powerful bullshit detectors than whites. They're a lot less willing than whites to lay their lives on the line just because the President says they should.

    I remember back during Vietnam when there was a draft the number of black casualties and deaths from that war was way out of proportion to their percentage of the population.

    Nowadays when service is voluntary the biggest proportion of deaths in Iraq is white rubes and bumpkins from places like Lower Slobbovia, Iowa, the sort of folks whose peckers get stiff every time they hear Lee Greenwood sing "God Bless the USA."

    February 21, 2007


    How many Americans would vote for a presidential candidate who was the member of a church that professed the following credo?

    1. Commitment to God

    2. Commitment to the White Community

    3. Commitment to the White Family

    4. Dedication to the Pursuit of Education

    5. Dedication to the Pursuit of Excellence

    6. Adherence to the White Work Ethic

    7. Commitment to Self-Discipline and Self-Respect

    8. Disavowal of the Pursuit of "Middleclassness"

    9. Pledge to make the fruits of all developing and acquired skills available to the White Community

    10. Pledge to Allocate Regularly, a Portion of Personal Resources for Strengthening and Supporting White Institutions

    11. Pledge allegiance to all White leadership who espouse and embrace the White Value System

    12. Personal commitment to embracement of the White Value System.

    The question is rhetorical, of course. The answer is that such a candidate wouldn't have a snowball's chance in hell of getting elected dog catcher (apologies to America's animal rescue and public safety personnel) let alone President, because that candidate would be instantly branded a racist, among the most vile and frightening of white supremacists.

    And those holding the branding irons would be 100% right.

    Yet, in the "About" section of the U.S. Senate website for Barack Obama, Democratic senator from Illinois and contender for the Democratic nomination for President of the United States, it states that Obama and his family "live on Chicago's South Side where they attend Trinity United Church of Christ."

    So...?

    Well, to say that the Trinity United Church of Christ (http://www.tucc.org) is afrocentric in the extreme would be a gross understatement. It's not simply afrocentric, it's African-centric. In fact, one could argue that this organization worships things African to a far greater degree than they do Christ, and gives the impression of being a separatist "church" in the same vein as do certain supremacist "white brethren" churches — or even Louis Farrakhan's Nation of Islam.

    Shocking? An overstatement? An overreaction?

    One can see for oneself on the Trinity United Church website, which is replete with confirmation of what I present here. What follows is an excerpt from their Mission Statement:

    "We are a congregation which is Unashamedly Black and Unapologetically Christian... Our roots in the Black religious experience and tradition are deep, lasting and permanent. We are an African people, and remain "true to our native land," the mother continent, the cradle of civilization. God has superintended our pilgrimage through the days of slavery, the days of segregation, and the long night of racism. It is God who gives us the strength and courage to continuously address injustice as a people, and as a congregation. We constantly affirm our trust in God through cultural expression of a Black worship service and ministries which address the Black Community.

    "Trinity United Church of Christ adopted the Black Value System written by the Manford Byrd Recognition Committee chaired by Vallmer Jordan in 1981. We believe in the following 12 precepts and covenantal statements. These Black Ethics must be taught and exemplified in homes, churches, nurseries and schools, wherever Blacks are gathered. They must reflect on the following concepts:

    1. Commitment to God

    2. Commitment to the Black Community

    3. Commitment to the Black Family

    4. Dedication to the Pursuit of Education

    5. Dedication to the Pursuit of Excellence

    6. Adherence to the Black Work Ethic

    7. Commitment to Self-Discipline and Self-Respect

    8. Disavowal of the Pursuit of "Middleclassness"

    9. Pledge to make the fruits of all developing and acquired skills available to the Black Community

    10. Pledge to Allocate Regularly, a Portion of Personal Resources for Strengthening and Supporting Black Institutions

    11. Pledge allegiance to all Black leadership who espouse and embrace the Black Value System

    12. Personal commitment to embracement of the Black Value System."

    Sound familiar? Of course it is, since it's identical to the 12-point list at the beginning of this column — the one from the theoretical white supremacist candidate's church; the only difference is the substitution of the word "Black" for "White."

    Trinity United Church of Christ's congregation also claims to hold to a "10-point Vision" which is similarly afrocentric, or if you will, separatist. Again, like the Nation of Islam, a white separatist church or the Branch Davidians, Trinity United more resembles a cult than a church. Only this one has as one of its most prominent members a serious contender for the White House.

    And George W. Bush's born-again Christian status scares people?

    These revelations, of course shed all the light we need on Obama's inscrutability; since before he announced his candidacy, both the Right and Left have commented on the lack of information vis-à-vis just who Barack Obama is and what he's about.

    From The Chicago Tribune, February 06, 2007, Column: Against Middleclassness? by Rich Lowry. "Vallmer Jordan, a church member who helped draft the precepts, said they were designed to empower the black community and counter a value system imposed by whites. 'The big question mark was racism,' he said. 'Black disempowerment was an integral part of that historical value system. It became increasingly apparent to me that we black people had not developed our own value system . . . to help us overcome all we knew we had to battle.'"

    "A value system imposed by whites..." Is Jordan speaking of the value system that kept families together and promoted morality, industry and integrity, or the one imposed by liberal dependency pimps since the Civil Rights Movement?

    True enough that many blacks did abandon values; again, this was due to the corruption of the black clergy by white socialists and their black foremen. Trinity United seems to have thrown out the baby with the bathwater. Gravitation toward an Africanized "year-round Kwanzaa"-based pseudo-Christianity seems less of a solution than returning to the moral and social conservatism Blacks held prior to the aforementioned socialists gaining their stranglehold in the black community.

    So is Obama seeking to be our first black president, or our first stealth black nationalist president? You see, were he a run-of-the-mill insincere Christian of convenience like Bill Clinton, Obama might belong to a run-of-the-mill, lukewarm, large nondescript church. But he doesn't. He belongs to a church which is (as I indicated before) blatantly afrocentric and even suggests the supremacy of Africa's descendants in America.

    Granted that the Left will have no qualms about this highly questionable affiliation, but what about all of the American swing voters to whom Obama has built broad appeal by presenting himself as sort of a generic, open-minded moderate Democrat (as Bill Clinton also did, by the way)? Are they going to go for a candidate whose heart is actually closer to that of a refined Black Panther?

    Trinity United clearly embraces things African above things American. The content of their website makes this undeniably clear. Aside from this tack being divisive, separatist and calls into question its adherents' identification as Americans, if they're looking for values, they — and Obama — would be better served by looking to modern political conservatives and traditional Christianity than retrograde African precepts and the Democrat Party.

    Obama's affiliation with this church, if I must call it that, should be as alarming to the American voter as a Republican candidate for president belonging to the Aryan Brethren Church of Christ. Any argument against this assertion is politically-correct delusion, reverse discrimination and a hypocrisy — a very dangerous one.

    Tell me about it Kellybelle.

    I watched a rebroadcast of "American Gangster" which featured Tookie Williams, the former Crip turned children's book author. In this case the Black Quasi-Socialist Progressive-Fundamentalist Racism Chaser was OUTRAGED at any Black person who thought that this man who was supposed to have reformed himself should die for his past murderous actions.

    It was great to see A.G. put a Black man who got beaten down by Tookie Williams himself and make the case of the long, murderous list of actions that he did over a long period of time that far exceeded the time period in which he did any good works for the same community that he helped destroy.

    Some how the Jamie Fox movie skipped over the gross details of the story that even his wife who was in the American Gangster piece was acknowledging during her narration of his life.

    Clearly the BQPFRC and the anti-Capital Punishment folks who had the vigil outside of the prison on that fateful night stood there with their mouths opened by their brains wired shut - not understanding that there were a whole bunch of families who have mourned the loss of their loved ones over the years at the hands of Tookie Williams.

    This specific episode of the documentary and the others when put together make the people who focus more on the CIA and other Federal conspiracies as the reason for the state of some of our communities seem quite foolish.

    Your comments are over generalizations and foolish!! You take what could have been good advice and pervert it.

    [quote]Urban Areas and Blacks is a damm shame... and its Blacks that are the blame. Give a black person a chance, they would open a Club before a grocery store, they would open a steak hoagie joint before a bakery. They will cry poor waiting for the K-Marts, Home Depots and Foot Lockers to "invest in the hood" before just pulling up the bootstraps and going into business for themselves[/quote]

    I can point to several Black owned stores, quality restaurants and computer stores (and even a butcher shop) that have opened in the past 6 months in the metro area in which I live. For me - I promote the news of these businesses to my friends and let them know that THEY are the base of people who must keep these places open.
    On Friday I took my family to a new "Louisiana Catsfish" restaurant that is not just a greasy spoon but a well furnished, family restaurant that had good food. Yes there is a larger Chinese Buffet up the street full of Black folks and without consciousness they will continue to go there while not supporting this other person.


    There is no shortage of Black investors opening up venues - beyond the clubs that you speak of. The problem is with getting people out of their comfort zones of running to well known chain stores and giving them their money.


    It is good to scrutinize people but I wonder if you are doing so in the hopes that they change for the better or so that you can have a group of people who are below you that you can trample over.

    (Did you notice that I did not once use "What White people do" in any of my argument? I had to point that out because these type of "Well they are in the mud with us" debate tactics do nothing to substantiate our [Black people's] position if in fact we are operating below our own standards. )

  60. If Harriet Tubman wasn't adventurous then I don't know who is. She might not have been hunting crocodiles and messing up natural habitats, but she was BEING HUNTED. James Bond has NOTHING on her. Take that Lethal Weapon. How many lives did they save from political, racial, and financial oppression?

    And I'd just like to point out that these myths shouldn't be labeled as myths, but misconceptions, because they all stem from the truth, they just might be exaggerated and generalizations.

    1. Lmao at "blacks would have burned it [America] down a long time ago" if we weren't patriotic. My stance on this is that Blacks were patriotic and passed on their patriotism for one reason: because of the Constitution and the whole "all men are created equal" (not to mention a few political figures such as Lincoln, and FDR I think it was). Blacks were hopeful that a change would occur. They HAD to be patriotic during the Civil War (and even the Revolutionary War) if they wanted a chance at surviving in this country (during the Revolutionary War freedom would be granted to any slave who fought) and make it a place were they could one day be looked at as equals, thus one day prosper and make a decent living as just a human being and not a nigger. I don't think Blacks are as patriotic as they used to be (i.e., the problems we've had with voting, different conspiracy theories, etc.)

    2. Black people AREN't soft on crime! DUH. We are the only race who is out to annihilate each other through homicide and drugs. We are tougher on crime because we understand the dirtier side of crime moreso than white people. We kill each and remain in poverty, they kill each other and get an inheritance LOL (don't believe me? just watch 'Snapped' on Oxygen or WeTV).

    3. Black folks do front like we are very religious. Being religious means more than the action of going to church and putting money in the collection plate. There is a spiritual and life-changing side to it people.

    4. The only race of people who look alike are Asians. I think EVERY race can agree on that!

    5. I will tip very well if the server does their job. I can't pay for what I'm not getting. AND on top of that I'm bougie, LOL, so you KNOW I'm looking for the royal treatment. Kissing my ass will get you far.

    6. I have to disagree on the Black folks aren't lazy. YES WE ARE! We DEFINITELY have our lazy moments, which is one reason why our community is in such disarray (and that's an understatement). Don't believe me? I will GLADLY jot them down for anyone who wants proof. I grew up and live in a predominately Black county and my mother has worked in the PG County School System since before I was born, we have definitely experienced "a whole rack-o-bamas" who are lazy...I believe that Blacks pass down the "worn-out" mentality, so that before a child has even had time to live life, they already feel worn-out because of the obstacles they have experienced or the ideas that they have been introduced to. Also, some black folks are not knowledgeable on any other culture other than our own. Furthermore, blacks have a selfish and childish mentality, for example, if something is done to them they will turn around and do it to someone else without even caring that they are putting that person in the same messed up place that they were (this creates a very detrimental cycle people, HELLO!)

    Finally, I'm out ya'll.

    i have never seen such a great collection of excuses and victimhoodology in my life, blacks seem to have an excuse for every problem black society creates for its self. Im white and my ancestors were slaves at a time in history but you do not hear me or my family using that as an excuse to not get a job and sell drugs or get of welfare for having children out of wed-lock. The more pathetic excuses black society makes for it's laziness and short comings the worse thing will get. Try harder to be good citizens and work than working towards being the biggest victim who does nothing but justify criminal behavior and lack of education with something that happen over 100 years ago, will the same excuse still apply 100 years from now, the Jews have been WAY more persecuted throughout history than blacks but you do not see them filling prisons, having most children without fathers on welfare, and making excuses to be lazy criminals, amazingly they are the most successful group in society, i know someone will follow this comment up with another "you and america are racist" and "blacks cannot be held responsible for their actions, its white people that make them act the way they do" and a victim cry baby quote from malcom x or poverty pimp jessy jackass. Instead of making yet another excuse why don't you think about this and help your race instead of making excuses for leading a piss poor lazy life.

    I have seen unjust treatment to blacks by whites and have resented it even since high school. But it is a rare occasion when I hear a black person praise the good white people who not only have been fair with all people, but were also instrumental in getting blacks their rights. Listen, there have always been good and great black people and good and courageous white people even from long ago who would die for another man's freedom.

    I am of the opinion that the word "conservative" as it is used in many of the blogs here reflects a bias within itself. I am a "conservative" and have stood, not just spoken; but stood and taken risks, great risks to see that others were treated fairly. I wish and hope for the best of everyone on this list, and that love will dictate your every decision in a life that is here for just a moment and then so suddenly taken away.

    "are black folks lazy" ? yes, thats why slavery had to be introduced,.. its the only way you can get them to work,

    BTW all races have been slaves at some point. (i am english, white) we were enslaved by the romans, vikings, and various other european marauding monarchs.

    The greeks and romans widely used slavery(mostly white)

    only "you guys" still make an issue out of it..

    i was having a discussion with a mate at work about it, and he was complaining about slavery etc..and all i said was well, if it was SUCH an issue for him,.. name one.., name me one slave, name me a member of his family that was a slave and he couldn't.. so what was the issue,.

    what im saying is, get over it.every race has been there your the only guys using at asn excuse for all your woes.

    I think it is so funny how just about everytime I come across post like this there are always white people and I know they are because they make it clear by stating it seem to be the ones to always bring up slavery and how we use it as an excuse for everything in our lives.

    I'm just asking, where did that come from? Who said anything about slavery? Seems to me yall the ones who keep bringing it up.

    I always laugh because the comment never has anything to do with the post, or they work it in so how.

    To me its like white people just see the words black and people and automatically think slavery then share there opinion on it without even reading the post.

    While the CT (M168) Paleoasianid diaspora in Eurasia faced the need to wake up earlier & find food. On the other hand the privileged E (M96) Meditids didn't feel the need to wake up until the sun was vertically on top of their sun-kissed beautiful faces

    I have no idea why I landed on this site....other than I was searching to find out how many of the 40 million blacks work. I just heard that Democrats are for the 'working man'. As I travel in my city (I inspect homes), I see blacks sitting on the porch, hanging out in small crowds, just walking the streets.....but I often wonder...What do these citizens to for a living? I believe the real myth is that black folks are the working people. Now before someone gets mad and upset...I know some great black folks who are as responsible as any white person...but they are the exception...just face it..blacks are lazy as a whole.
    Blacks are not hated....blacks get all the breaks in life...houses are built for you...food banks are set up for you...education funds are easier for you...every year at Christmas, for 40 years my employer always found a deserving black family for us to make a Christmas gift to....thousands of dollars....no deserving white families in 40 years? My Point:
    Whites are hated by all races....I was born very poor, I never had a new bicycle in my life...my parents never attended a school meeting or went to a social event. My father was a drunk...both parents were uneducated (mother 5th grade and father 8th grade). My father built houses and my bother and I worked 50 or more hours a week...we worked after getting home from school. I could go on and on about my bad circumstances....but somehow I was able to rise above my circumstances...How? I stayed clean, was nice and polite to my teachers, played ball at school like my father worked me...studied and made good grades...used my own money to buy my clothes...stayed out of trouble...tried to make friends with those that were popular and well preceived. Developed a humble attitude and treated everyone with diginity and respect regardless to race or any other factor. I will end by saying that I get very tried of hearing how blacks are mistreated and how all their problems are caused by white folks (me). Get that big chip off your shoulder, get a good education, wear your clothes corrected, stay clean, stay out of trouble, stop looking at whites like you could cut their throats, be nice and polite, work hard, be dependable, develop a belief in Jesus Christ....and you will be just fine....If you think I am wrong here's a test....turn on your television...blacks make up approximately 14% of the population....flip through the channels and you will see blacks on 85% of the channels just with a random flipping through the channels....The World is set up in your favor....it's your job to see that and take advantage of the opportunity....The world is not set up for white folks...there are zero opportunities (programs, etc) for whites and many of us were borned in circumstances just as bad as any black.

    THIS is a perfect EXAMPLE of why it is *not*
    a moral wrong to STERILIZE BLACK MALES
    (while still others should be castrated) – and then
    then move on to also sterilize the black females.

    They are the ONLY group in history to contribute
    nearly NOTHING to society -- other than violence,
    low brain-functioning offspring (who they, in their
    arrogance and ignorance, then force society to raise),
    leeching off of others, disease, sexual irresponsibility
    demands for preferential-treatment; constant-whining;
    and (as evidenced in case-after-case) double-standards.

    Even though there is the occasional, anomalous black
    who has honestly 'bootstrapped their way to the success'
    -- everyone know that 99% of all of the black people, in
    general and all over the world, should simply be sterilized

    If our society considers itself to be “moral” then we all know
    that sterilization (and often castration) of the black male is
    the most decent, most moral choice we can make for them.

    The procedure is cheap and painless AND it helps prevent
    the arrival of innocent offspring being brought into a world
    where those who sired them care nothing about them and
    where they are forced to live as mental and moral inferiors.

    As a society it is TRULY our MORAL DUTY to do this for them.

    I was blown away by Field Negro's alleged debunking of the Black People Myths. His answers are worse than the stereotypes!

    For instance, #7's "Black people have no incentive to work because we don't own sh*t." I didn't own anything when I got out of high school, and that was my incentive to work my butt off - so that I WOULD own something someday. The entire post reflects a bass-ackwards philosophy, one I presume is so the author can whine to others about why his people are broke. I can't fathom one gullible enough to believe it, though.

    #6 - Black people can't own houses because their credit is bad? Everyone enters this world with equal credit scores; it's up to the individual how to manage his/her finances. This comment makes blacks look stupid, yet since it's coming from a black man, is it the truth? Or does Field Negro believe only the worst of his people?

    I could go on and on, dissecting each post, but I feel the point is made. Every single comment makes the existing stereotype look preferable to the author's explanation. I think the African American community deserves a better spokesman.

I agree that there are some white people that are like this, but nowhere near the amount as black people. Get a job, earn money, spend the money,(just not all at one time so you don't go bankrupt). That spent money will eventually end up in somebody's pocket and help that family. Nobody in America that is alive now lived through the slave period.

    I agree with your blog posting. For number 7, I have noticed that case to be true. I see more blacks working for the government than for the private sector. For example, hospitals. There are a lot of career opportunities for black people that don't involve having to work for a corporation. And not all are poorly paid jobs.
    You can be a Businessman, Doctor, Nurse, Porter, Government worker even lawyer (however there are more career options in the private sector). Try to work for yourself, by starting your own businessness you are your own boss and you can have others work for you. Doctors can open up their own clinics. They help others, make very good pay (so you can have the nice home and the car) and you are in control of your own work hours and the profits go to you. I hope people take this advice into consideration.

    2.) Black people don't always agree with EACH OTHER, but they sure seem to disagree with non-blacks more often than not.

    6.) Your credit is fucked it up because YOU FUCKED IT UP. Probably buying expensive cars you can't afford. If you were careful with the money you made, you'd be able to put a down payment on a home. Not all white people make piles of cash, but somehow we manage to get our shit together. So shut up.

    7.) Black people aren't lazy, but they sure do walk slow.

    10.) Black people DON'T tip. I worked in a restaurant for ten years, and it seemed to me like most of them came in with an agenda. Like the world already owes them something, so they're not going to tip. Do us all a favor, and spend your money elsewhere.

    all the things that you wrote are completely off. we know how much you people love to fight! we know that when you are not picking on a white person you are picking fights with eachother. thats why we don't want you savages anywhere near us! ive never considered black people as religious. onfact i see all of you as hypocrites because you are always going to church singing (trying to outsing eachother) (competeting aka fighting) and then go rob a hard working mexican. this is only a little bit. but u are wayyyyyyyyy off. i hate all you people i hope you all die!

    Black people are freeloaders if that's not a fact I don't know what is. I live in Chicago and until they tore them down their were 50 high rise Project buildings overfilled with black people. Then they tore them down and did project mixed income were they built brand new half million dollor condos and moved all the people from the pjs in and let them live there for free and sold the rest to hard working people at market value.they did this in In hope they would stop rapeing and killing people. If you drive tru all the black neighborhoods during the day when people are supposed to be at work they are packed with people just hanging out. They are not homeless they are on section 8, food stamps, and get free bus cards to go places while on their everyday vacation. We pay for them to go to college if they decide to and every other thing that let's be comfortable while chilling all day. No other neighborhoods are like this except black ones but if you say something your a racist. This is a dumb blog because black never admit to their problems and any black man that speaks on the subject is a uncle Tom. If the government took away all free money I promise you black people would be messed up. And another thing just cause some black people are not freeloaders on some kind of welfare and says well not all all black people do that your supposed to forget about all the ones that drain the economy using handouts. Screw that, not all of any people are the same but black people are the only people that live like they do. fact gettos are filled with blacks living off tax payer money. Don't get defensive and deny it do something about it.

    i read a beautiful commentary about the low intelligence of blacks and i agree. I am black myself...and educated. It is funny how one sees things so clearly when one chooses to stop giving excuses. Dr Watson was right. His comments should act as a thing to make blacks want to prove him wrong- not insult him right and left...Black people should forget what the true white racists usually say that they are animals or ignore them- and instead decide to sincerely ask themselves why even intelligent people question their capacity to think for themselves. If you are a black girl, ask yourself, even in matters such as the home- why do whites and other races look after their women so well and are kind to them- while in the Black race, men treat their women worse that animals would subject their natural enemies to? in the town where i am in, the mistreatment that men subject their women to (its a black society) is so bad that educated women are giving excuses to fly to other nations on the pretext of searching for education only to come back (if they ever do) with a white, japanese, chinese or european husband! It is done very subtly but it keeps happening because black women do not want to be seen as pointing to the irresponsibility and brutality of black men to their own wives or girlfriends- especially when such arguments such as dr. watson's comment on the lack of black intelligence exist. However, the black women are not ready to sacrifice their personal happiness in proving this point. Among our clique of black women, it has gotten to the place where when we here that a black friend is engaged to a black guy, we feel pity for her...

    Stop generalizing people. I am a hard working black woman. yes I see things black people do I don't like. I also see these same things being done in other races as well. different races are ignorant in different ways. Black people are loud and black men tend to be morally corrupt and not take care of their families. White people are predjudice and unaccepting of others and petty and jealous. I see alot of ignorant acting black folks because I live in a black community. However look at the news and see who are using weapons to kill children in schools at the movie shows and in restarants and killing their families. You see more white people doing this than blacks. I've met some seriously jealous and envious and sabatoging white folks that have lied on me and pushed me out of jobs. White folks see me as a threat because they see that I am as compassionate and hard working and loving as they claim to be. Open your eyes and see who has the better jobs. For the most part black people get the left over jobs. To satisfy EOE they give a black person a good position. Its the exception not the rule. However no matter how bad I am treated by both black and white folks I will never mirror those bad examples. I will continue to rise above such ignorant behavior and look to God to direct me forward. We should all be swift about hearing and slow about speaking. Open your eyes and stop being opinionated.

    Most of all black do lie. In such a way, you no there is no truth to thier statements. In psychology it is a form of self hypnosis, to make statements to yourself to increase your self-esteem. But when you tell stories to commit fraud and you believe the lie, it's more like psychosis. And many of them live their lives of not knowing what is real and what is not. So much they can't even tell when honest comments are made about them, or instructions on how to do something, is true. They believe that everyone is lying to them and they lose the ability to learn.

    You're ringing the bell of truth loud and clear... Except for number ten.

    I've been a waitress a few times in the my life, and I learned early on that you can't make a living as a waitress if your customers are black. The first time I got a job as a waitress I noticed that the other waitstaff (including two who were black) did everything they could to avoid serving black customers. This confounded me... at first. But after six weeks of being the only one in the place willing to serve the black customers, and giving them every bit of the same level of service I gave customers of other ethnicities, I was forced to accept that my co-workers behaved the way they did out of an economic imperative. Black folks simply don't tip most of the time. And when they do, the amount they leave can be so paltry it is an insult to the server.

    One memorable example - and the one that broke the camel's back - would be the evening I served a group of four adults who occupied one third of my allotted tables for an hour and twenty minutes. The final bill totaled more than $60. After they left and I began to clean the table off, I found my "tip". It was a quarter, a nickel, four dimes, and three pennies. That's 73 cents. Seventy-three hundredths of one dollar. That's 1.216% of the check. So far a cry from the standard 10-20% that it was almost unrecognizable as a tip. It was at that point that I caved in and accepted that "black people don't tip" wasn't just a racist stereotype. It was, the overwhelming majority of the time, the ugly, painful truth.

    I'm sure that black people who do tip are frustrated by the poor service they often get in restaurants. And, in some cases, that may be because the server is racist. But, from my own experience, I'd say it's more likely to be because the server has given good service too many times to black customers and been stiffed on the tip. Human nature is such that they simply don't see the point in busting their butt for someone experience has taught them isn't going to pay them for their time and effort.

    jobs while the rest of us have the 2nd or 3rd shifts. But you are so busy thinking that MOST black
    males are lazy that you can't see other alternatives. Black people are not like white people
    because of our culture we tend to hang out in groups but I personally don't like hanging out in

    But
    things are going to get so bad in this country that we both black and whites and all Americans are
    going to be slaves not just black people. And the one enslaving America in this future time will be
    White people from another land. Count on it if you believe the Bible and what is written there.
    Some of you white people just hate anyone that is not White but you hate most of all black people
    and some of you if you are honest know the reason you do is because you have been taught to believe
    the way you do. But I will be negligent if I said that SOME black people don't teach their kids to
    hate other races as well. But come on people that where taught this way, you are grown now and you
    can make your own decisions. Because racism still abound in this country and because 98% of all the
    wealth and power is in the hands of white people and they do look after their own black people
    still don't get paid as much as white people doing the same thing get paid. If white people where
    fair, especially in the South then Affirmative Action would not be necessary. I think black people
    have came a long way in the 148 years since Slavery. One person wrote that there are no black
    people alive today that are slaves that is true but 70 years ago or so there were. In fact my
    grandfather, not great or great great or great great great grandfather was a slave. That's right I
    said my grandfather was a slave. He was born in 1844 21 years before slavery ended in America. You
    see my father was born in 1925 when my grandfather was 81 years old. My grandfather died when my
    father was 13 in 1938. Grandfather was 94 years old when he died. So do the math. 94 from 1938
    means grandfather was born in 1844. Slavery ended in 1865. So yes there are black people in similar
    circumstances who grandparents were slaves. Like I said we black people have come a long way in
    only 148 years while you white people (who was slaves also but thousands of years ago and not
    hundreds) were slaves also, have had hundreds of years head start but I get message from white
    people trying to put me down and can't spell. English is your native language and some of you can't
    write it. Enough said on this. Have a nice day you racist whomever you are. But before I leave this
    post. The white person that is the most racist to me is that one that says he or she is not racist
    but hold the same view as those that are. White people regardless of how well meaning you are, can
    never know how it is to be black. You don't have to worry about whether your application for
    employment got viewed or not or in the trash can because the person doing the hiring simply don't
    like minorities. To him he or she don't care what position you were in college or your class, you
    could be #1 in the class for that year but since you are not white he or she is not going to hire
    you. That is the sort of thing that white people never consider. Because they are not faced with
    it. Some of you that might read posts like this and are white will know of a situation in which a
    black person did not get the job but the application was thrown in the trash can. How many smart
    very smart black people get turned down from colleges simply because they are black. Being black is
    not like being Gay, people are born the color they are and there is nothing they can do about it,
    but people choose to be GAY and then blame it on God. But haters will hate until the sun goes nova
    or the return of Jesus Christ. Which by the way I know as a WHITE MAN. But He is not racist.

    To say that all black people are lazy is just like saying all white people are rich and we all know that is not true. To those of you who think we are stupid. I have only a high school education but I finished school at a time when we actually learned something. I finish 95th out of a class of 250 students in a town where the population is about 70% white. Are you to tell me that I was #1 at the beginning of the 155 students that was below me, that all of them were black and that the 94 ahead of me all of them were white? Come on now, give me a break. And I finished 95 out of 250 while keeping down a job after school. That alone knock that myth about black people being lazy out the door. And when I had kids, my youngest daughter finish high school in the top ten percent of her class and finished with HIGH HONOR and was ahead of some of these suppose smarter white people. If I had applied myself and the WHITE TEACHERS had not lied on me saying me and some black friends of mine was disturbing the class when she herself sent us to the library, I would have done much better. By the time I reached high school I had read enough of the WORLD BOOK so that I did not have to study. When it came time to graduate I did not have to take the last exams because I had exempt them. Back in 1982 I was going to go into the Army, get into computers but was told that was reserved for people that re-enlist after four years. So I decided to go anyway UNTIL I took the entrance exam and the recruiting officer found out that I did damn well on the test and said now he can get me in. You see he thought he was dealing with some dumb ass nigger that didn't know S h i t. So I decided not to go and did not go. So you see white people that are racist you need to rethink your position because some of us black people only 148 years removed from slavery are not so dumb after all. I feel sorry for those of you that think the way you do based on the lies that your parents and friends told you without finding out such things on your own. And you white people that say we need to stop blaming white people for our problems are correct. But if you were to some how turn black tonight you would see that all we say about our plight is not just our blaming white people. A lot of it is REAL.

Forget that, if she doesn't want to do her job then she should stay at home. Then again maybe by giving her a job what is actually happening is that we are keeping her off the street.

Every day and night i think of him and always wish he would come back to me, until one day i met a good friend of mine that was also in a situation like me but her problem was her ex-boyfriend who she had an unwanted pregnancy for and he refused to take responsibility and dumped her. she told me that mine was a small case and that i should not worry about it at all, so i asked her what was the solution to my problems and she gave me this great man email address. i was doubting if this man was the solution, so i contacted this great man and he told me what to do and i deed them all, he told me to wait for just two day and that my husband will come crawling on his kneels just for forgiveness so i faithfully deed what this great man asked me to do and for sure after two days i heard a knock on the door, in a great surprise i saw him on his kneels and i was speechless, when he saw me, all he did was crying and asking me for forgiveness, from that day, all the pains and sorrows in my heart flew away,since then i and my husband and our lovely kids are happy.that's why i want to say a big thank you to DR.EKPEN spiritual temple. This great man made me to understand that there is no problem on earth that has no solution so please if you know that you have this same problem or any problem that is similar, i will advise you to come straight to this great man. you can email him at:ekpenlovetemple@gmail.com

  145. Wrong with your last and you obviously have never been a server in you life. Blacks don't tip, point blank period. No matter how good the service. I serve everyone the same. I recommend, I get everything that is needed, and box the food at the end after being ran to death and/or run the food back to the kitchen because the steak was extra welldone and came out burnt because it was asked to be cooked extra well. I'm sorry to say and I am not racist, blacks do NOT TIP, no matter how well the service. It happens all the time in the restraunt I work for and even the African Americans that work there hate serving black tables and even a black guy a couple of days ago, paid another guy 20 bucks to serve a black party because he knew it was going to be the same ol thing. For example, tonight, I served a party of 3 African Americans. I recommended, I got everything they needed, their drinks never got an less than half full, I boxed their food, and even asked if they wanted to go drinks and got them. Their bill was 61.93. They gave me a 2.00 tip and I am still left confused and even asked the managers and hostoses if they said anything negative. Nope, just the same thing that happens every night and will every night in the future. I'm tired of that shit and if your that black person reading this that tips, I'm sorry, but the majority ruins it for the good ones that do. It gives you a sick feeling when the bill is 120 dollars and you think that table could leave you only 2 or 3 dollars on that. That means you actually paid about 22 bucks to serve that table. That shit isn't funny, because your tipping out the hostoses, the bar, and the bust boy based off that 120 because the restraunt expects that you got at least 18% of that 120. Do you see why servers are nervous about who is sitting at their table when majority, "90%", of the time you are going to be ran to death just to fork money out of your pocket at the end.
    The bottom line is, no matter what race. Try being a server and see if the last is accurate.
    I call it the way I see it. TRUTH...

    Well I was a server forever and you don't get much traffic from the blacks in the places I worked. Jews don't tip. The rest of this stuff is just the numbers, not your opinion.

    To paraphrase an earlier post

    Not all Gay people are liberal.
    Not all Asians are good at math.
    Not all White people worship cops.
    Not all Hispanics are illegals.

    nope, there are exceptions but most are and do. (the all white people thing could be a better example I never heard that one.)

    Same for all the rest of this stuff. It's a shame when the few are made to suffer for the behaviour of the rest.

    But it is what it is.

    Thanks for your blog it's funny.

  150. These comments you see on the internet about DR VOKE (DOCTORVOKE@GMAIL.COM) are not just comments, they are truthful words of experience written by those who have been there and found help in reuniting with the ones they hold dear to their heart and other marital and financial problems. I can tell you this because I also asked him for help to cast a spell to fix my relationship with the only woman I have ever loved. we got married but couldn't have a baby and then I discovered my wife was barren. I had to try some spell casters but to no avail until I contacted DR VOKE. HE restored my wife's womb and just like that she got pregnant, she has given birth now and our baby is growing. Thank God for our lives and also to DR VOKE who God has used to blessed us. I know that not everybody will believe this moreover its just something on the internet but my heart knows every of this word that formed this entire comment is true. his contact is: DOCTORVOKE@GMAIL.COM

    The premise is wrong, only #7 and #10 are common stereotypes that you might hear but I'll address some of the authors other comments anyway. The author makes it sound as if "white folk" own their home through no effort of their own, and that if blacks could "get a nice house to live in" they would love it to. This victim mentality permeates this article. Apparently blacks have no incentive to work because they don't "own shit". This seems a little backward to me. Moreover it appears that if blacks don't like something they will "argue and fight" and "burn it down". The day for excuses has long since past. The U.S.A. has bent over backwards to gift opportunity to blacks, sometimes at great cost. The list is too long to address here but the housing market crash in 2008 was a direct result of loaning money to people (mostly blacks) who clearly had no means to pay it back. So while many blacks continue to listen to the voices of the grievance industry (Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Eric Holder) our fellow Americans from the south (Mexicans) quietly take advantage of all that America has to offer. If blacks can't make it in America then the Mexicans will.
