Just speaking the truth.

I recall Atlanta shutting down the underground after black spring breakers set the damned thing on fire and looted it. They've also worn out their welcome at a lot of other beach towns due to shenanigans.

Bingo.

Every time you get a large group of people, you get stereotypes showing up for a reason.

It seems to go up to 11 whenever you have a black event like this, Essence festival, Bayou Classic, the NBA all star game in Vegas, etc. My guess is that the number of people who normally do this is significant but it goes into overdrive with people saying “This is my vacation, I’m gonna live it up!” and people imitating the worst members of the group because their tactics seem effective.

By the latter, I’m mainly referring to the complainers who want free or discounted food. If you do it for one whiner, then everyone else in their vicinity tries the same thing because they’ve seen it work.

The dude ordered a surf and turf in the middle of the goddamn desert and was bitching that they served him prebreaded, frozen fried shrimp, sent it back, and said he wasn't going to pay for it. I asked him what the frick he expected in a place like that and all he said was "Not that!"

One Facebook user posted a picture of a sign at Shaggy's restaurant said it was "welcoming spring breakers" but automatically applying an 18 percent tip on patron's bills. "Shaggy's has NEVER had an automatic-gratuity, so why choose the BLACKEST WEEKEND on the Coast," the post said.


The comments on this dude's facebook are hilarious.

And they honestly left out the best part of his post.

MS does NOT have automatic-gratuity laws, so guess what, automatic-gratuity is NOT A LAW, so automatic-gratuity cannot be enforced on ANYONE - you idiots!




He's incorrect. It's a service charge and you agree to it by using their service.

There's also this.

quote:

Shaggy's has NEVER had an automatic-gratuity, so why choose the BLACKEST WEEKEND on the Coast, to impose a NON-EXISTENT law? Well every black person knows why and many of you white folks know why too. It had a lot to do with the skin color of potential patrons.

More crime that weekend

Another viral Facebook post with more than 2,000 shares showed at least six businesses inside the mall were closed, when they are normally open during those hours. And another post listed the 14 stores closed


Stores don't want their shite stolen or torn up

Restaurants want their help actually tipped

I can't imagine the fear these Biloxi people live in as they're held hostage by these people. I'd probably board up my windows and leave town

What we know:
Large collection of blacks increases probability of theft and unruliness. Need more police presence.

Close your business to protect your assets. Restrooms would be left unusable at best after crowds surf the stores and buy nothing.

Blacks are poor tippers. It is necessary to implement the auto-gratuity.

Accept cash or debit cards only in this scenario. Make sure the debit cards are not stolen and the hunnerts are real. Other non-black tourists will avoid a huge gathering of blacks because......well.....nevermind.

Checked that one off. Would recommend. The enthusiasm for certain acts is something that I have never seen before.

Also shite like this happens at “regular” spring break as well, but strangely unreported..hmm


Right. I recall PCB spring break has a TONS of cops cracking down on underage drinking and typical shenanigans.

I think that happens regardless of race when you mix alcohol with a large group of 18-25 yr olds.

These businesses were probably just preparing from lessons learned from past experiences.

One comment from dude's facebook post about shaggy's.

quote:

this is awesome info to share. I first found this law out in Alabama. Anybody whose close to me know that I don't believe in paying for nothing that is not up to part. So I was forced to look it up. Restaurants literally BANK on our ignorance. So yes, there is such a law also in Mississippi that's alive and well. Now they're some real Jim Crow LAWS still in play. Now, this one I will share is only used mainly in the event of conflict/altercations. This infamous/famous law is the Right to Refuse Service without reason/cause. Yes ma'am...Yes sir...they can refuse your service WITHOUT a reason. Now, even though the law hasn't changed but time has. In well populated areas, whereas our dollar has a strong presence. They don't enforce this Jim Crow law as they would like but give them a slightest reason to act on it and it's done! You can protest and bring attention to their bigot ways but no law suit would be won per say!!! Because it's a law!!!!!

My best pal is a black dude. I rag on his arse b/c he complains about his food 100% of the time we eat somewhere, whether it's a buddy's home cooked jambalaya or bitching about the fricking french fries on Burger Night at Ivars.

Is this a black thing?


I'd be interested to know the psychology behind it. I guess it goes back to they feel slighted and that they're owed something? IE owed service.

I don't know if other notice but it also seems other races besides AA tend to cross the street quickly (or the cross walk in front of stores like WalMart or the grocery store where you have that gap between the entrance and the parking lot) while AA take their sweet arse time.

I bring this up every time race and tipping is in a thread.

Delivering pizzas in Northern Ascension Parish from 2011-2015 I found that blacks tipped out there just as well as whites.

The most common factor in zero tips were trailer parks and common factor in shitty tips(<$2) was over-mortgaged.

But race was almost completely uncorrelated with tip amount out there. I ain't stupid and I know the trend/stereotype. So this was refreshing and cool to see. Not to mention $ in my pocket.
