Performed a test of honesty today.

[zeek]

When I retired I thought I may try playing golf. Bought a brand new pair of golf shoes. 10+ years later...never put the shoes on and never played golf. Put the shoes on market place. Today a black lady messages me that she wants them. Lives close by so give her my addy and says come get them. She messages me do you take some kind of app for payment and I says no...cash on pickup only. She shows up saying they are for her kid who plays foot ball. I tell her...you know these are Golf shoes? she says...Yep, they will be ok. She
obviously sees the cop car and asks if I know such and such from the same dept and that he is her relative....Nope dont know him. Now offers to pay with a "cash app" and I say..no I only do cash. Ok...Ill be back with cash if you dont sell them first. Now we aint talkin about a lot of money here and I was about to just give them to her....I tell her take the shoes for your kid and come back when you have the cash and that I trust her....long story short....she has failed the test of honesty.... I pretty much knew this would be the case and had she shown up with the cash, I would not have taken it. These people just live to lie and steal....such a pitiful race....

Prepare to be boarded.

Yes....I get ripped off by black folks and that makes me a racist...

[Unsuspicious]

You aren't a racist, you are personally providing reparations

Getting ripped off by black folks isn't an indication you are racist. This comment is:

So, you are standing by your statement that all black people are pitiful and they just live to lie and steal?

Backpedalling a bit, I see.

Dr. Ben Carson - is he pitiful and only out to lie and steal?

No, so there is your proof.

Based on how this is worded, she may have taken that to not necessarily mean that she should bring cash today. Or maybe something happened and she couldn't get back to your house?

Granted, it is unlikely that she'll be back. I'm saying that because I think lots of people of all races are losers.

What will you think and say if she comes back tomorrow or the next day with the cash? If she does, will you post back here admitting you were wrong?

Get with the program, Zeek. I'm surprised you aren't up on all the latest leftist talking points.

If you don't lie, cheat, and steal you are probably a racist.

If you know who your father is - racist.

If you can spell and use decent grammar - racist.

If you can do math beyond a rudimentary level - racist.

If you have a neat pantry - racist. (not even kidding)

If your house is clean - racist.

If your yard is mowed - racist. (not kidding)

If you raised your children to be productive members of society - racist.



If you need any additional leftist talking points, just see cptlo306, between he and the hags on The View they'll get you straightened out.

Pointing out clearly racist comments makes me a leftist? Does making dumb comments like the one you just made make you an idiot?

Dude. Every post you make is liberal, leftist drivel. You aren't fooling anyone.

I pretty much knew this would be the case and had she shown up with the cash, I would not have taken it. These people just live to lie and steal....such a pitiful race....

I've had the opportunity to work with local black churches at least three times in my career and I learned from the first experience that I would not get paid. I chalked that up to my portion of reparations payments.

So the second time I gave them very preliminary designs and an invoice for a portion of my total fee, and waited for it to get paid. Phone calls from them to proceed were responded with "as soon as I get paid for the first portion", which never happened.

The third time was a church which was converted from masonry building with a single truss roof. They had hired a member "contractor" to 'open up the ceiling', and the guy cut out the lower truss chords and plastered the bottom of the top chords. This caused the side walls to deflect dangerously outward. I insisted on meeting with the church board in attempt to explain the problem, the risks that they were taking occupying the building, and to come up with a solution that was aesthetically acceptable.

The meeting was early in the evening and the pastor showed up on a new Harley. Other board members had newish Mercedes, Lexus(es?), and other luxury brands. Explaining the issue to them was like a scene from Don't Look Up, but I persisted the best that I could. They decided on a long steel beam below the ridge. We discussed budget and even how they would finance it from their weekly nut, which was all reasonable and relatively inexpensive, based on what they had already paid their member "contractor".

I priced out the beam itself from a local supplier. It was in stock and reasonably priced. I did a cost estimate for the total install and my fee, then sent them a proposal. A few weeks later I got a phone call 'why haven't we gone forward', and my response: 'waiting for a signed proposal'.... That was several years ago.

How do you know he didn't? Where is your proof?
