white men can't jump. i mean, white folks can't jump. i mean, white folks can't clean house.

i had a client once - a little 8-year old african-american girl - who very casually and matter-of-factly (as if everyone knew this) mentioned that "white folks can't clean house."

i remember thinking this was some kind of reverse racism or something, and after she said that to me, i started asking around - to see if other african-americans held the same view. turns out, a lot of them did. (i had one kid tell me that white people don't buy bleach.)

well, racist or not, it might be true. folks. i mean, it might be true. white folks.

i bought a bagless vacuum cleaner and whoa nellie!..........have you ever used one of those things????..........lemme just tell you somethin.........

i need to go buy some bleach!
