They have to be talking about the milkman, the kind of milkman who no longer exists, the milkman who brought fresh milk every couple of days, in glass bottles, and when he delivered the new bottles he took away the empties; the kind of milkman who would, if asked, have on hand bottles of fresh cream and butter; and to boot, he wore a uniform, a sharp, crisp uniform.
That's who they're talking about. He not only wanted to be loved, he was loved. Especially by the little children who looked out the window awaiting his arrival. Yah!
While this guy MAY be indulging in passive aggressive behavior, I can see far worse people in this world. The woman* who made the comment for one.
No doubt she enjoys the benefits the 'sainthood' offers her, but she seems fairly comfortable disparaging a person for it.
God forbid she is forced to live in a neighborhood where everyone has HER attitude, which would be 2/3 of a Hobbesian quote: Nasty and Brutish.
If living next to a 'white saint' is such a burden for her to force civility, maybe she should move to 'the hood' and see what the alternative is like.
*The context and the direction of that disparagement leads me to make that assumption.
Mr Rogers. Note: he "wanted" to be a saint. Past tense. And now he is "middle class white privilege" icon. And what is an icon? A picture of a person no longer living who is a saint.
Speaking of privilege, a kid in Wisconsin has responded to Walkout Wednesday by walking out in favor of the Second Amendment on Wednesday, today. The school admin seems to have been slightly stressed at the sight of independent thought. But maybe others should try it. Walkout Wednesday for your beliefs. it really just counter-protesting and is a right as much as any other protest.

Maybe this "saint" can do something to help blacks cope with Madison's racism
Naaaah...
John Henry
Overheard a neighbor saying that?
I know people like that.
Doh, Zero of course.
Tommy beat me to Soglin
Tom Brokaw, if the "middle class" in the quote is how the subject views himself, and doesn't represent reality.
Mead talking to his plants after they seemed to be wondering why the avocado tree gets to come in the house sometimes?
Why, it's
The Saint
Zeus, and he's right.

Is a middle class saint like a bathtub Mary?

Person sounds like a Post Modernist Hater.

[S]He wanted to be a neighborhood saint [bernard].... [s]he's beloved.
Abby?
So that's the thanks tha Meade gets for caring for the neighborhood dogs?
Is Meade mowing the lawns of the elderly and disabled after a winter of shoveling their walks?
Really nice guy!
Sainthood? Maybe not yet.
Me?
Or is it, I? Grammar Nazis make me nervous as shit...
“Believe” and “belove” are cognates so I get the narcissist tag. Other than that, I got nuttin’.
It's Meade, for putting up with that cruelly neutral woman.
Probably not Kanye West, but you can't completely eliminate his name from the field either.
That's who they're talking about. He not only wanted to be loved, he was loved.
Sometimes he even serviced lonely women home alone all day.
Hey its Meade they are talking about.
He is definitely a Saint.
He lives with you and puts up with your nonsense after all.

"He believes he's beloved."

Mike Ditka.
Turns out he was just a bear.
It’s about a specific person, not Meade or me, but it’s a local person there’s no point in exposing to a random insult.
