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.

    nobody who says they are going to start cracking the whip is talking about training animals.

    It shouldnt be taken literally, its a metaphor, yes… Whats your point?
