Stellar (4,491 posts)A white Trump voter explains why he was inspired to leave a black waitress a $450 tip and an uplifting note When Jason White walked into Busboys and Poets Monday morning, a Washington restaurant that promotes social justice, he looked around and told his friend he might want to remove his red “Make America Great Again” cap. The three white Texan men knew they stuck out in a place where African-American art and images cover the walls. And White said he could sense when his waitress greeted them that she knew they did too. But Rosalynd Harris had arrived at work that morning still high off the energy from the Women’s March. Her customers Saturday had been abuzz with an optimism that was contagious. So she was especially cheery when she greeted White and his two friends. They chatted warmly. They told her they were from West Texas. White is a dentist and he complimented her on her smile. They were jovial and fun. Harris admits that White was right. She did prejudge them, by instantly assuming they were in town for President Trump’s inauguration by appearance alone, even though by that point the signature red baseball cap at been tucked away. When the men finished their meals White decided to leave Harris, a 25-year-old African American woman, a personal message on the receipt. Then, after he wrote it, he left a $450 tip on their $72.60 bill, which is a nearly 625 percent tip.

But the fact that he needed to pen a little lecture and then append that with a GOD BLESS tells me this guy is a creep. Feel free to disagree.
Holly November 25, 2016 · SeattleTipped my barista $10. She's always pleasant and was grateful. I don't often have an extra $10 but today I did.

the very first reply:
No tip for you, crabkat. Assuming you could even hold onto a job where you might get one.

And that still wouldn't be good enough.Maybe if he gave a donation to PP AND he went to the grocery store and beat up the guy in the TRUMP hat behind him in line AND he threw a plate at his Aunt who supports Trump at Thanksgiving dinner AND he wore a Tshirt saying "kick me in the balls to punish me for my white privilege" it might be enough. Maybe.
Bradical79 (2,338 posts)80. Don't know I'd say "creep"...White and rich privlige I'd agree with though. While they made a kind and helpful gesture to an individual, they still screwed over millions, costing society much more than they gave her. That waitress is going to lose quite a bit more than $450 from their decision.
Build a bridge and the DUmpmonkies will be trying to destroy it by lighting it on fire.
While they're on it.
Probably lit both ends on it 1st to make sure it burns down.
[leftist shit] Only government should take $450 from a whitey and give it to a darky.[/leftist shit]
I saw that thread, but was too disgusted to load it in the boat to row over. It exhausted me. Maru Kitteh was a real bitch on that hideous thread. This is why people hate democrats, DUmmies. We're not the only ones watching you.
