I have to tip more to change the perception of black people don't tip.

Like the guy in the video, I have to try my best to bring out whiteness in my voice when talking to be taken seriously.

Like the video subtle differences but they're there.

That's it? Really?

Well, if it makes you feel any better, I won't play basketball or attempt to dance in public.

I clicked on the link, but it wants me to sign up for something. No thanks.

Besides, you just wrote about me: "You of all people wont understand."

So, why should I bother? That seems to be your default answer. No, I'll never know what it's like to be black. Just as you'll never know or understand what it's like to be white.

Cancel the popup and hit play again and it'll play.
Thanks for trying.

I have a better idea about what it's like than you have about what it's like being black. Remember, (unless I'm a CEO or something) we have to simulate whites in order to get ahead. You don't have to do that.

Sounds like you are insecure and blaming it on white people.

Defensive? Because you over-tip, talk white and are a closet chicken eater? You sir, are the one who is being defensive.

Mike please watch the video and then go back and read your ignorant statements.
You'll be more informed to argue your point than to just marginalize everything I'm typing.

You are calling me ignorant? Sounds like its the black guy calling the kettle black.

I will humor you and watch it.

Going with my second thought here but I'd much rather associate with someone, be it work or personal related that wasn't trying to be/act like something they are not.
