I Hope This Does Not Come Off As Insentive To Anybody, But... A Quick Story...


 
A Quick Story...

When the economy crashed this last time (2008), an Africa American Woman who I work closely with, and consider a good friend...

Looked at me all concerned, and asked, "Bill... are your people gonna be alright ???"

And I laughed hysterically, and gave her a one finger salute... and we both started giggling.

Point being...

She and her extended family have been dealing with this shit for YEARS.

They know where the thrift stores are, they know how to work the Underground Economy, they know which churches they can appeal to, who they can barter and trade with, etc....

And yet they survive. And in some cases flourish.

She gave me a wink as she walked away, and said... "Well... we all N*****s Now !!!"

And again we both laughed.

I had know idea at the time, how correct she was.

All I got was that everyone is a sharecropper in the new Obamaconomy.

So only black people know where thrift stores are? I go all the time. Great places for kitsch.

Sounds as if drug dealing and buying stolen goods from the "hustle-man" is going to be picking up in the DUmmie community.

The point was that the primitive got to bring up the N-word again.  They all love that word.

Thrift stores?  They can afford thrift stores?  What a bunch of rich bastards.  They HAD money. 

Try patching close for school so they might make it another two months to summer time.  Try not having anything that didn't come from the garden in the yard or that wasn't caught or killed out in the local woods for about six months.

Just an excuse to use the N word.  They offend me deeply whenever they do this.   :bird:  And the implications!  All black people are poor and on the lowest rung, they know where to go to beg.  And thrift stores are a big underground secret?  They have clear signage; we have several.

My mother is a short white Brit and can tell you the location of the thrift stores in about half the states. Lol. Maybe she's fronting her caucasianess.

My kids grew up in thrift store clothes. I still shop there first unless I'm buying presents. Use it up, wear it out, make it do ... not a race based quote.

I think DU uses or alludes to the word as much as any site this side of storm front.
