He responded by saying he would not 'nigger' his way into getting out of a debt.<BR/><BR/> He also has called blacks lazy.<BR/><BR/> How lazy is the man that counts the money, and how lazy are the men who work?<BR/><BR/> He has a warped sense of reality.<BR/><BR/> And to change him requires some warping as well.<BR/><BR/> Me, I just refused to work with him.<BR/><BR/> SO I lost some money in the short run, but I would rather work with people I respect and be happy, than make more money and be miserable.<BR/><BR/> Of course, words only mean what we let them mean. We could use 'nigga' to mean an affectionate term, or we could use it to describe apples.<BR/><BR/> What matters most is what is in our hearts and our lives.<BR/><BR/> We stand for what we can and we make a living being who we are.<BR/><BR/> We should not stop living just so we can make a living.<BR/><BR/> Peace,<BR/> ScottScotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00962969158559695219noreply@blogger.com
