Shiftless and lazy whites?

Re: Shifless and lazy whites?

I love how Backdoor Benny misspells the thread title.

 

Whatcha talkin 'bout Willis? Looks like the title is spelled correctly to me.

 

I believe it's "Whatchu talkin 'bout, Willis?" Unless Gary Coleman had a shiftless and lazy white brother you were quoting.

 

It was his shiftless and lazy white sister and father I was quoting. LOL

 

I blame automatic transmissions.

 

I thought this was about the guy who lives across the street from me.

 

Automaticy.

 

Dont hate the playa W Post, hate the game!

 

The irony of all of this is that the claim is being made by a "scholar," which is a polite way of saying, "A person who has spent a lifetime in academia and never worked a 'real' job in his life."

 

Not irony.

 

What's a real job?

 

Yeah, I don't get that.

He makes money doing research, writing, and speaking. From what I can tell, he's never been on a public payroll or been on the dole.* (Though I suppose he received a stipend while he was in the Peace Corp.)

Looks to me like he's earned his money.


* And I should say that there would be nothing wrong with either of these either. But, even by stretching the definition, I don't see a problem.
