Both of my sisters used to be in the restaurant business and said the same thing...that for some reason most of their black customers either didn't tip or tipped less than the rest.  Even a couple of black girls that worked there said the same thing.

Growing up in a mixed race household, where sometimes I'd go out with the white side and other times with the blacks side
If the server was white A. Treated differently than other non black people in the restaurant. No smile, no emotion whasoever. They were almost mechanical in the way they served us. If they screwed up the order or something wasn't right and my mother or stepfather said something there was a little attitude in the response. End result....crappy tip. This is a pretty conssitent thing whenever dealing with someone working in retail, whether cashier, salesperson or server. There is always that kinda cold atitude meanwhile the table next to us or the person in front of us on line in a store gets the smile, how are you and bubbly demeanor. Over time, you just expect it and end up nitpicking everything about the server. That being said whenever I take family out, I handle the bill. I don't have that kind of baggage that older family member have. 2. Growing up in the typical poor, pay check to paycheck black household...it was an absolute rarity that we went out to restaurants. When we did go out (I can remember twice), it came down to tipping what you could afford to tip. Do it long enough and when you finally do have money you are just used to tipping smaller amounts (the notorious 5'ver. Wasn't till mid teens that we even knew about proper "tipping" guidelines. As a result, I've spent years overtipping trying to right the wrongs of the past. 3. Plain ignorance of tipping protocol. 4. The last I can think of is something that's not "black" but common in other parts of the world. "Your menu says my meal should cost X amount of dollars and that what I'm giving you. I'm not going to give you extra for doing your job". Since we are having one of THOSE threads How about Chinese? They'll tip...but they try and haggle for 4 hours. Total = $50 "I give you $40...We call even!! Yes?" What about the Italians? Those assholes....there could be line out the door and those people push all the way to the front. They then make a racket and complain about the tax. What about US North East Jews? I'm not touching that one.
