Cagney is legendary. " Come out and take it, you dirty, yellow-bellied rat, or I'll give it to ya through the door!". In TAXI (1932) often imitated as "you dirty rat!"

Not quite. it is sad that it t never even registered with him that minorities were getting screwed or that it happens all the time. I'm Caucasian and I'm frequently having to push back against other white people who think D.E.I. Means Didn't earn it. I have to ask if it's ok if their daughter or wife is paid less than a man for the same work. That gets their attention. It makes it real. Then I show them the Data on pay disparities between white men and Asian men, then white men and black men, then white men and Hispanic men... The lack of equity. Ignorance is bliss and I end that bliss whenever I can. I'll do it till I die I'm afraid. Seems like the least I can do for myself and other humans. I like diversity, equity and inclusion. Fuck me too right!?

Recovering crackhead might be accurate but it's not exactly kind. He's been in recovery for years. Not in active addiction. The decent thing might not be to attack him for drug addiction. People shouldn't be attacked for trying to be better human beings than they used to be. "Punching down" is never a good look.

He's in recovery. Has been for years.
