Apologies.
How about mature or worldly?

What makes you think White waiters and waitresses are being singled out?
Work on your reading comprehension. It said "particularly" ... not "only" ... merely because there are probably more white gal waitresses.
I was trying to be nice ... but, Scruffy pretty much nailed it.

No one gets tipped
Was working at a Mexican restaurant one summer during college. This black chick got seated with about a group of 20 from a black church. The bill was well over $400, she got a $3 tip. The racial slurs that flew out of her mouth when we went back in the kitchen would have made David Duke blush.

It more than likely had very little to do with not getting much tip. I think that is expected.
It probably had to do with bending over backwards to service the table ... despite being treated like crap by the customers...and then on top of all that ... getting a $3 tip on $400.
But ... your story is a little suspect in that, typically, for groups of 6 or more ... a 20% tip is added to the bill ... by most restaurants.

Did the black community actually think OJ was innocent
Hmm not sure, I was pretty young back then. But I will e-mail the guy who was Black Community President during the mid 90s and see if he has an official statement on the issue. Will keep you guys posted if I hear something

I read that reference and thought, "I must be smart for knowing who April Glaspie is".
Followed quickly by the thought, "Damn, I must be old for knowing who April Glaspie is".
You're not old, you're just informed.

And based on your post history, I say you're full of shite.

Sad but true. When I was in Miami, I found out that Latin-Americans also have this reputation.
EDIT: When I was in Europe, I found out that European tipping customs aren't nearly as generous as American tipping customs, because the pay of waiters and waitresses doesn't depend as much on tips.

Why aspire to alwayes be the victim.
This is a gross generalization that's just not true.

I remember "they" were deluded to believing it pretty much.
Years have made it embarrassing for it to be discussed. I remember being in college when the word came down and all black students cheered. All us whiteys just sat fascinated.
It was basically sitting and watching a sociology experiment play out over an afternoon.
Symbolic I can see as well after LA, Rodney King, and Reginald Denny.
Case made forensic science improve by leaps and bounds as far as evidence collection.

I want to revisit this topic.
I think you said it a little better than I. That was my ultimate point. I define integrity as doing the right thing just because its the right thing to do.
My further sentiment is that it was ok for OJ to murder two people because there were slaves 150 years ago. What sense does that make?
And I wasn't talking about the verdict, I was talking about the reality that OJ killed two people. Maybe the case was poorly managed by the police, but that doesn't change the fact that he was guilty. Yes slavery was an atrocity, but that doesn't give black people the right to murder at will.
Whats more, is that had he been found guily, there would have been riots in the streets of LA.

No, it was a symbolic victory over the heavy handed treatment the LAPD in the past. It was probably worth him being set free to move the city forward. LAPD has always had a terrible reputation for planting evidence, racial profiling and unethical behavior.
So you're saying that it was ok for two people to die to further race relations, and the relationship between blacks and the LAPD?

I was hoping I misunderstood his sentiment, but it appears I did not. But that statement is indicative of the majority of the black populous. I don't mean to generalize because there are likely a large number of black people who do not feel that way. But we only see the ones that do feel that way because they are the ones in the news.
