Tipping was supposed to help make up for a below minimum wage salary. If the salary isn’t minimum wage, there’s no need to tip. Other minimum wage earners don’t get tipped so why should minimum wage restaurant workers? If you want higher wages, get a better job. 

Pretty ignorant comment since success for real estate agents (or almost anyone in sales) relies on referrals. But then again, those who are successful are working people, whether they’re depressed or not. My personal opinion is that this kind of depression is the domain of black people realizing they made it and…

I thought the theme was FAT people.

And the Episcopals hold 20% of the wealth but are only 2% of the population. Beats any other group for a small amount of population but holding a good portion of wealth. And we’re recruiting!

Shameful behavior on the part of the white woman. All the more ironic that he was listening to a yoga tape.

Let’s not forget the Kardashians got O. J. Simpson off. Of course we know he was innocent.

Congrats on all your “imagined” billions. If you’re like a lottery winner, you’ll be in debt in 5 years. If you’re like an athlete, might even be shorter.

“May the tears of whiteness be with you all. Amen”

Oh, so many inaccurate statements. I can’t even read this article in one sitting. I can only skim. Obviously, Mr “Blackkktation Mind” Harriot was not at STEM graduate. Bad math. I’ll probably be “not approved” for this comment because of the censorship on this site.

It can be frightening to take on debt and if you don’t put the full 20% down, yes, PMI can be a killer. Depression like you describe is frightening as well. Glad it’s over for you. 

Typical Blakkk people still on the plantation, complaining. 

Congratulations on buying your first home. Just to let you know, it’s not uncommon to have a mortgage fall through after being pre-approved. This is when you realize having a good mortgage agent and, if you used one, a good real estate agent saves your bacon. People think these people do nothing for the money they…

I’ve worked in real estate related fields for 15 years and I never heard of a depression after buying a home. I hope it all worked out for you.

“Almost any public black figure would probably tell you that accepting vile, hate-filled threats is part of the job.” Really? Only black public figures? Whites never get hate mail?

To the black people who wonder if they were denied a job based on their black sounding name should remember that a large percent of the hiring managers are people of color. Yes, Mr or Ms. (insert Indian or Asian last name) may be making the decision. Believe me, although they are POC they don’t have your back and they…

Haiti has received millions, if not billions, of dollars in foreign aid and none it seems to help these poor people. I’d be in favor of giving back the $500,000 if it would help. I don’t think it would do much good, though.

The biggest problem is Haiti’s corrupt government. They are responsible for that. 

Sounds like Andrew Jackson had a good idea to annex Haiti to America. We should consider that idea with Mexico, Guatemala and other countries flooding our borders.  

Haiti deforested their own land. It’s called “cut and get out.” They chopped down the trees to build housing. Private property rights are almost non-existent. The government owns most of the land. This is partly why natural disasters are so devastating to them. If you can’t own the land you build your home on, you…

Thanks you for that. People who talk about white Americans being responsible for everything bad in the world should look closely at their own behavior.
