I'm not evading anything. You insinuated it. I said it. And laughed.
I merely gave my opinion of how I assess such discussions. You laughed and then added some crass comments. Why else would you do that? You didn't actually provide a counter-argument or attempt to actually talk about what I actually said.
I had a cabbie tell me that he doesn't pick up blacks because only two things can happen.....you get no tip, or you get robbed.
I trust the words of those who deal with them on a daily basis.
I was a waiter, and I only have one(1) bad story to tell when it came to Blacks. And it wasn't a whole party of Blacks. It was one Black woman who argued with me over a check. Rest of the Black patrons, never had a problem from them.
I take what that cabbie says personally. I do not care if it is "practical" or "common sense". I only care about one thing. Where does it leave me at the end of the day? What if I am that Black man who needs to catch a cab?

Maybe it because Blacks realize the tipping "Norm" is 15% and there is no mathematical reason to increase it... No matter how much someone try to claim otherwise.
I think there are plenty of "movements" that need to be started before the "tipping better" one. Just sayin.

Oh, no doubt! This board is inherently known for throwing black people under the bus many times over! Why let it phase you?! Why waste energy arguing about it all day, every day! These are the same people who will smile in your face in public. I pay it NO mind.
I think most threads single out other races and not whites because whites are the majority and many of the other threads are about the majority. If they aren't about whites, then they specify. I wouldn't worry 'bout it!
CD is full of white supremacists. The best way to shut them up is to beat them in a debate. Once they're taken to school the tone usually changes.
