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.

        This has gotta be intentional stupidity at this point right?

        You understand things in time happen in a linearr order right? Ie if someone hurt me then I hurt them, they’re the bad guy. I hurt someone and they hurt me 🫢 an entirely different scenario
