Summary:  "Black Folk Dont..." is a website that analyzes stereotypes of black people. As the creators ask about tipping, "Do black people tip any less than others? Or do black folk just tip for a different set of services?" Producer Angela Tucker "explores this questions with regular folk on the street, and a range of black folk from cultural critics, to bloggers, comedians, actors, and more." This episode shows black people both agreeing and disagreeing with the stereotype that black people do not tip. Several African-American commentators note that they (as former servers) tip well because they know how serving is a low wage job, while others (as black people) over-tip "to make up for the stigma ... for the stereotype," and others note black folk just tip differently (not tipping much in restaurants but do so for hairdressers or barbers). As the clip continues, the commentators raise issues of culture, history, and economics in how people choose to tip (e.g. "I think tipping is a class question and not a race question"). While the clip only offers anecdotal views, it might serve as "research stimulators" by challenging at least some students in the class to locate data or studies that would support or refute relevant speculation. Students can be encouraged to think about where these beliefs come from, how they are reproduced, and the consequences of stereotypes about different groups of people.

Thank you to Michael Miller for suggesting this clip and ideas for how to use it in the classroom!

Academic research from 2012 confirms servers' bias toward black customers: http://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2012/04/26/Study-shows-race-matters-at-restaurants/UPI-86551335463690/

"The survey of 200 servers -- 86 percent of whom were white -- at 18 full-service chain restaurants in central North Carolina found 38.5 percent of servers said a customers' race influenced their level of service at least some of the time"

I just want to say Thank You to everyone who supported me through the years. My name is Manuel Franco, New Berlin, Wisconsin. My story of how I won the Powerball lottery of $768.4M is a bit of a tale. I have been playing Powerball tickets for 6 years now since I turned 18. I bought my first ticket on my 18 birthday. I was feeling very lucky that day because I had contacted Dr. Odunga Michael to help me with the winning Powerball numbers. I really had that great great feeling that I looked at the camera wanting to wink at it. I only did a tiny part of it and trusted him. He gave me the numbers after I played a couple other tickets along with it for $10. I checked my ticket after the winnings came online and saw the numbers were correct including the Power play. I screamed for about 10 minutes because it felt like a dream. I had won $768.4M. You can check my winning testimony with the lottery officials just with my name search. Thank you Dr Odunga. Well, his email is [email protected] and you can also call or Whats-app him at +2348167159012 so you guys can contact him
