Nikole Hannah-Jones, the non-historian of 1619 Project fame, which claims the that America has been taught the history of a country that doesn't exist, a country which is willfully "anti-black, is back, now saying tipping is racist, and just an America thing.
"Tipping is a legacy of slavery, and if it's not optional, then it shouldn't be a tip, but simply included in the bill."
Huh?
Hannah-Jones sees racism and racists everywhere. And, like other "anti-racists," it's all personal.
"I have been utterly disrespected at restaurants. Ignored. Rudeness," she wrote, 1619 snowflake that she is.
But, like her 1619 Project, her theory and she are full of baloney. Real historian Phil Magness proved it, citing tipping as far back as in Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, published in 1602, as well as a 1730s travel guide to Europe.
Hang tough.
