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.
It shouldnt be taken literally, its a metaphor, yes… Whats your point?
It’s an offensive metaphor. That’s the point.
