English isn't my first language so pardon me and explain something to me.

I was talking to a friend yesterday and he basically clutched his pearls because I called someone shiftless (which they were). Mind you this guy calls people all kinds of hos and bitches. He basically said that calling someone shiftless is like damning that person. Meanwhile the dictionary states it is a lazy directionless person. Is this a southern/eastern thing?

no, it's not that big a deal.

it's more a commentary. less of a joke or sensationalizing.

still very offensive.

So its not big a deal but is it worse than calling someone a bitch or cunt or ho?

Is there a historical basis as to why it's so offensive. Cause on paper it doesn't sound that offensive

It's how we've been stereotyped since we've been here.

Basically, calling a black man shiftless is the equivalent of saying he's a loser/POS, etc.

It is a HEAVY term.

In its place then.

Thanks for reminding me...I need to hit my friend's mom up for some lumpia

It's such a hassle to make.

That's why I ask her to make it.

>It's such a hassle to make.

Cause making lumpia by hand is a bitch.

Hey if you're all for it make some and send some to me

Used to be one of my favorite words in early 2000s

It encompasses everything I want to describe in one word short of calling something a pos. But if it's that loaded then I'm going to stop using it.

I mean I've read/heard somethings before but
I didn't get the historic implications and how it affects the Black man today.

Cause tthat's true. I don't disagree.

their son "lazy" because he hasn't learned to walk yet (he is about 16 months), we were all like "that don't sound right".
