You want so bad to belong to an oppressive class and claim reverse-racism, don't you? Its that entitlement that comes with be a member of the collective class isn't it? People who are oppressed suffer daily oppression. It is not a prize. I'm so sorry that you feel like you are missing out on being able to say you…

Knowing my race or not, that is the most important thing in this conversation?

Yes, because correcting a black person is the most important thing to do in every conversation. Did you know what I was saying? Well, there.

There is nothing ambiguous about it. If a black man does not hire a white woman it is because he was prejudice. Was it an all black organization? Was the city/town in which the organization reside controlled by blacks? Was the government all black. Was all important decisions made by blacks? If the woman turned…

No it is not. You are conflating individual power with collective power. A minority individual can be prejudice and can power over someone individually because of their prejudices, not racism.

You are prolonging the fight. Prepare and serve your own food.

You end tipping by eating at home.

Yes, you are contributing to the culture. Yes, yes you are.

If a restaurant does not pay a living wage, then don't eat there. It is that simple. People find excuses not to make change when the opportunities are there.

I've waited and we never pooled, but is beside the point. If you eat out where tipping is necessary, you are enabling a culture of tipping.

"Last night, we went to a Fuddruckers really fancy place downtown, and the waiter twice spilled soda on me, then accidentally charged us three times for a burger we didn't even order. I STILL TIPPED HIM."

How was she willing to die for you? Do you own a large oil corporation that rely on the military to secure future profits?

Because veterans are special doncha know? Also, it implies "The Gay."

Thank you, yes!

Or ask the owners to pay a living wage and then customers would not have the power to cause such harm to the wait staff.

We are all pawns with our opinions and fighting over scraps while corporations are getting richer. We need to do away with tipping all together and demand that restaurants pay employees a living wage. The diner did not look into or object to the views of the restaurant owner(s).
