Black Twitter has been beside itself all week. Chet Hanks went full Jafaican on Clubhouse, and then Obama (un)surprisingly denounced “defund the police.” But the uproar started when video footage of a Dallas restaurateur berating customers about twerking in his establishment went public.

Medium is a veritable lead mine of woke racial obsession, which often leads to some unintentional unpleasant truth telling if you can get past the sermonizing

In this case, a whole lot of black folk don’t know how to act in a fancy restaurant.

“Black Twitter” is an actual thing?

“ In this case, a whole lot of black folk don’t know how to act in a fancy restaurant. ”

And they get upset when called out on their behavior. Apparently it is racist to expect black women to not twerk in public. So be it then.

They certainly know how to riot.

They certainly have an unhealthy sense of entitlement.

They are all about me-me-me, never about civilized behavior in public (or private).

Tipping is almost non-existant with black people. That was my experience.

Read up on the blackification of restaurants and the death spiral caused by it.

Hmmm...maybe criticism of blacks by other blacks is acceptable, but whites are only permitted to celebrate all things black. Anything less is racist, no matter how objectively correct.

Africanization is the insidious process of degrading America and can be termed the Black Plague

The NAACP is more destructive than Covid

Same here. Same with my daughter who is a waitress part time.

I have a lot of friends that work in the service industry. Restaurant owners, managers, bartenders, cooks, and servers. Even the black bartenders and waiters do not want to serve black people. They know they don’t tip.

The Wire had a good scene in Season 4 where a former sergeant takes 3 kids from his special ed class to Ruth Chris in Downtown Baltimore. You can take the kid out of the ghetto but not the ghetto out of the kid.

Q: Why is twerking in public acceptable behavior for anyone of any sex/gender/skin color?

Meanwhile, on the subject of tipping, get a load of this from April. And note the author and the publisher...

Tipping in the U.S. is a civil rights issue

YouTube about it. It seems to be an entirely black clientele

Blax have an issue with anything that can translate into a) attention, b) money.

It's like an indulged child that mommy can keep happy with little discomfort to herself. But that child grows into an adult and the demands never cease. They only get bigger.

Interesting read and the comments at the site are even better.

The comments show there is a recognized disparity. And as one comment put it...a feeling so much has been taken from them that they don’t want to give up more...

I read that several times and wondered at the cup half full statement. You have freedom to live in society, make your own way, but if you are succumbing to the ‘too white bread’ mantra the only one taking anything away from you is your own culture. Which should give pause to the question...is what I am hanging onto worth it?

I wonder how long a White Twitter would last before some twinkie got all over it.
