Sourest of Grapes: A letter from the great-great-granddaughter of Jesse B. Semple

 

Hey, Grrl!

Mom told me that them Texas crackers didn’t ‘preciate seeing Black people doing better than they were. Didn’t like the fact that even though they had their collective foot on Black folks’ neck that they had better cars, better houses, dressed with style and flair, and the men had far more sexually exotic women.

My bf told me his dad would not drive the new car he’d earned working hard for Mr. Chawly every day because he’d never get another raise or promotion if he did.

Bronco Baama didn’t carry the white, working-class-wanna-be-middle-class men because they don’t like the fact that he’s got a better car, better house, is better dressed and has a wife who is way hotter than theirs. He irks Congress because he’s beaten them at their own game, broken down the gates of the last bastion of the good ol’ boys, and looks better while he plays.

Let us not forget he IS a lawyer. Indicating he’s better educated, well-traveled, intercultural, and while many have tried to question his birthplace, no one has challenged his credentials.  Yet, I heard Mittens call Bronco Baama a boy and a liar, in front of millions, with the recalling of one anecdote during the first presidential debate. He’s the mouthpiece of his undereducated, working-and-lower-class, underinformed, tea-party base (crackas), which is ludicrous as he’s rich as Croesus and hasn’t much of a clue about how the little people live, despite his experience as a Mormon bishop.

The last gasp of a redundant class smells of the sourest of grapes.

Chin-Chin; (I learned that watching Call the Midwife. I absolutely adore Chummy!)

Ghetto People

I admit it. I don’t like living near ghetto people.

They are loud.

They are addicted to drama.

They are loud.

Then, they get very quiet, either having been buttoned up by the law, or they’re up to mischief.

They are mean, vicious, hedonistic, anti-social, bullying, and ever present.

Mostly, however, they, and their progeny, are fuCKin loud.

AS Talks with my Son

 

I decided that since you love me enough to buy me an expensive ass pizza, I’d just go get some seeds and drinks from the corner store, that’s usually less than 15$ dollars which is just less than a pizza no matter where I get it + Tip. WHY IS TIPPING A THING?

 

Because people are not paid a living wage. Restaurant Service industry people make less than $3 an hour and depend on tips to make the ends meet.

 

Why would you take a job that didn’t pay a living wage?

 

‘Cause you gotta work and that is all you can get, mainly because that is what is being offered in the Labor Market (concept). At one time in America there was a sentiment that it was unAmerican to tip. Economic times do change.
