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.
You say,… right after you got so offended that you ironically felt the need to insult someone and tell them to get thicker skin.
More pissed off than offended.
But yeah, people are complicated like that.
