Reply #129: "God created black people to test our patience." Yes, I have heard it.

I didn't know that anyone else had since it was so long ago. The funny thing is, that once it's in your head it's in your head. So when I find myself in a situation where the source of annoyance is a group of black people it sometimes crosses my mind. It's completely useless when the source of annoyance is white people; they don't have God as an excuse. That's the basis for my claim that "white trash" ought to be offensive to both black and white people as the premise is that these are uncouth or otherwise undesirable people who don't have the excuse of being black.

optional follow up is "He would test the patience of a saint."
