This may seem kind of stupid but I am kind of stupid, is there a list somewhere of phrases that are stupid or insensitive racially or gender biased? - eviltoast

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.

    Nothing I said touched on its offensiveness or lack thereof, merely the inaccuracies of your statements about the historical context. Of course, in your mind, that equates to me approving of or ignoring it.

      Got it, you just wanted to be right about something so you tried to change ths subject to something irrelevant you could nitpick.

      I wasn’t making statements about the historical context, I said that the historical context doesn’t matter because it’s offensive either way. I was literally saying I don’t care about whatever you want to talk about. So forgive me for misunderstanding your point.
