Bootstraps, silly conservative. Pick yourself up by them. Handouts are socialism, remember?

Oh the warez rooms were amazing! That’s how I finally got to play C&C: Red Alert lol
Thank goodness I have zero use for any of their products.
Oh god, Flo is the worst. Just so awkward and annoying.
I used to have Liberty Mutual for my car insurance. Then that stupid ass commercial came on, with that obnoxious, one-word jingle: “Liberty Liberty Liberty… Liberty!”.
I turned off auto-renew and switched to another company (and it was cheaper).
Is that petty? Yes. Do I regret it? Nope.
He is me, and I am him.
Yeah it’s different down here. All the history down here, plus some of the older white folks still using that word… ugh.
And KRS One is one of the best MCs of all time imho!
This might sound dumb, so bear with me.
I grew up in a super poor city, predominantly black. All my friends from there listened to hip hop where it was used a lot, they said it, their families said it, etc..
What I did was sub that word with another when I was singing. It became a habit. I thought that was a better idea than getting into the habit of singing it, where I might slip up and say it around them (since it was commonly used around there).
It’s a lot easier to create a new habit than break an old one, you know?
Don’t say it. That’s the rule.
You get a pass from a black friend? Cool. Still don’t say it.
Come up in a black neighborhood, only white kid, they say “it’s cool” because y’all grew up together? Don’t say it.
It’s about respect. If you’re not black, don’t say it.
Thankfully, there’s Lemmy. Makes me appreciate it even more when I read stuff like this.
