 I am NOT a Saltine! Have you no shame!

Cracker wouldn't even register as an insult.
Call me a Republican or Teabagger and I will throw down on you.
Last time I checked, "cracker" is a racial slur.

1. Depends

Just what did you do to make me think of you as a cracker? One must earn a label.

4. Nobody earns a pejorative label.

Cracker does not register with me as an insult. I know what can be meant, but that use is not a poblem here.

5. What's weird is the first time I ever heard that word, it was used to describe

the rural local white people of Florida. An employer of mine who had lived in the Keys said that the local rural people were called crackers to distinguish them from the northerners who immigrate to Florida. Then she went on to tell me what really nice people they were. I thought it was a term of endearment until I started hearing it used as an insult.

 

btw she was white too, but originally from Michigan.

They really are going crazier (I didn't think possible but it is happening) over George getting acquitted. However, IMO it is the demonstration that blacks are much more racist than whites and proving stereotypes that is really causing the discombobulation.

Not only that, it also demonstrates the institutional racism of the Democrat Party and white-guilt-ridden liberals that comprise its core. By laughing off and excusing this kind of behavior among blacks they infantalize them, and basically imply that they are emotional beings who can't help themselves and must be held to a lower standard than anyone else in their interactions with other races in society.

When I was 16, my Dad owned a refueling truck station in Denver and had 2 trucks on the road long haul. I used to have to go downtown to the industrial complex, right next to a government subsidized ghetto to pick up loads.

I was called "cracker" every single time I went thru that neighborhood. Believe me DUmmies, it's a racial slur!!! You didn't get outa the truck until you got where you were going and you always, always carried a weapon!

So those of you trying to dismiss "cracker" as non-insulting need to take your head outa your ass! Ever see the head of the New Black Panthers on video?

"I hates me a cracker! I hates all crackers! I wanna kill all crackers!"

Naw, that ain't racist. ****in' liberal idiots!

I think my view on being called anything is summed up by this youtube clip starting at the 1:14 sec mark.
