That sounds very condescending and patronizing. Some would call it gauche. As a black person, I would be ashamed to be seen attending such a function with my hand outstretched for a lousy $10 bill. Because heaven knows, I could not earn that on my own without some white liberal setting the stage for me!
You had best be careful. You shouldn’t go around implying that people can just apply themselves and work hard and achieve their dreams and goals.
You’re supposed to just play along. Heh.
You’re right though, I think anyone would be embarrassed to go get some free dollars at a bar. I’m sure they’ll have some caveat that says you need to spend it there too.
Amen!! Not black. But thought the same thing.
I was just going to reply with the same sentiments but you said it perfectly. As a black person, I would find it very demeaning to show up to one of these events. As a white person, I would be very ashamed to take part in it.
As a black, you should hold out for your 40 acres, not just 10 bucks. And be sure to stipulate acreage near the beach or downtown. Shoot for Boardwalk and Parkplace.
