folks who don't appear to be working as hard as they are?

Maybe it's something like that. Maybe he noticed he was outworking a few brothers that he felt had the same opportunities and in his mind he became a special negro.

Folks that openly make reference to being religious but are way more judgmental than their religious beliefs say they should be.
