    One thing people I notice about racists. They'll ignore all the other black activists to find one black person to agree with some of their views.

    Naw breh, you mistook the look of despair when he realized his third tier advisory firm is courting people who think a $5 tip is generous.

    Yep, this. There are many ways that offended African-American guy could have handled this with grace and dexterity. He didn't.

    Are you unable to resort to anything other than leftist/NPC/normie/feminist shaming tactics?

    BTW, there's nothing wrong with either category. Ask any married dude with a handful of kids how he's liking his life.

    OMG Jeff in Richmond! "The fit and feel of my Armani suit....." Takes me back to the days when sports 610 had Rome on the radio. :D

    I know a number of relatively young dads (mid 30s or so) with 4+ kids that absolutely love their lives.

    There are plenty of black conservatives. The MSM ignores them.

    "That offended African-American guy" is under no obligation to perform to the satisfaction of golf-club guy or CF posters.

    Well, great for them. Every dad I see has this haggard, sleep-deprived, freedom-less, joyless, "please put me out of my misery" look on his face.

    Anyway, that was a cheap shot by Fchowd -- gratuitous and irrelevant to the discussion.

    Certainly, he is not obligated.

    But it's a very good idea to diffuse misunderstandings like this, if you want to get ahead in life.

    Or, you can spend all your life angry about "the injustice of it all."

    The most prominent ones like Candece Owens are grifters. Ben Carson probably is a genuine conservative.

    Do you want me to quote my last 30 posts in the D&D? Because I'm pretty sure this is the first time I've used such a term.

    An excellent example of a false dilemma.

    What gave you the impression the gentleman was spending his life angry about the injustice of it all?

    Funny how op just identified the guy using thr color of his skin

    No mention of what he was wearing and appearance and age/stature. This will lead to a better assesment of who he is, what hes there for, and why would he get offended

    Weird comment.
    What if the racist is a black activist?

    Pretty sure someone posted in this thread about how the dude that got offended "had the right to be because of life experience" or something like that.

    In any case, the OP could have probably/possibly handled this better. If one is unsure about whether it is proper to tip, a simple question about that should clear any uncertainty, and quickly.

    Of course, the OP may have been uncertain only after the event.

    I noticed that racists like to make the conversation turn to race more often than people who don't obsess over it.
