I just got up from conversation with a couple of older black men, that I said “well I got to go back to work and start cracking the whip.” And it occurred to me then that it was probably a really insensitive stupid thing to say.

Sadly, it hadn’t occurred to me until it’s already said.

    Feel free to hang around by all means. I am sure we agree on way more things than we disagree.

    People need to toughen up while also learning how to respect each other.

      It’s ironic when the people claiming that everyone else needs to toughen up or grow thicker skin because you don’t like being criticized.

      You’re allowed to be offensive, and I’m allowed to tell you when you’re being offensive. If everyone thinks you’re an asshole, that’s not because everyone is too sensitive.
