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.

      Isn’t it somebody that experienced an iodine deficiency in childhood. There’s a particular look, he doesn’t have it.

      He’s wealthy, or at least he’s treated as such most of the time, so the word you’re looking for is eccentric.

        No, shitbag, fuckwit and narcissistic treason douche are all more appropriate than eccentric.

        being rich doesn’t mean you can’t be a fuckwit, and he’s proven it time and again.
