Rachel The Immaculate voices another slur, gets another pass from DU

[GOBUCKS]

Quick! Someone get that girl an EBT card, the poor thing looks emaciated.

When  the "sequester" began, the CalPig wailed that the Republicans are starving the poor.

Rachel The Immaculate and Saint Rachel The Pancake are at opposite ends of the fatness spectrum.

The Secret History Of The Word 'Cracker'

Ste. Claire pointed me to King John, published sometime in the 1590s. One character refers to another as a craker — a common insult for an obnoxious bloviator.

"What craker is this same that deafs our ears with this abundance of superfluous breath?"

"It's a beautiful quote, but it was a character trait that was used to describe a group of Celtic immigrants — Scots-Irish people who came to the Americas who were running from political circumstances in the old world," Ste. Claire said. Those Scots-Irish folks started settling the Carolinas, and later moved deeper South and into Florida and Georgia.

By the early 1800s, those immigrants to the South started to refer to themselves that way as a badge of honor and a term of endearment. (I'm pretty sure this process of reappropriating a disparaging term sounds familiar to a lot of y'all.)

"Jimmy Carter is a cracker," Ste. Claire said. "He's an Oglethorpe, from Celtic-English cracker stock. I don't know if he knows, but I think Jimmy Carter would proudly call himself one. "
