Actually "cracker" is a racial slur.

As for who's an oppressed group, I'm not sure any more. Is the oppressed group the one who is accused of racism at every turn? Or is the oppressed group the one who has a member holding the highest office of the land AND has a member as the Attorney General AND gets special consideration on government bids/contracts AND gets special consideration in college enrollment AND gets special consideration in employment?

Honestly, I think the real oppressed group is made up of patriotic Americans of all races who disagree with socialism/communism/liberalism, abortion, homosexuality, handouts, etc.

Excellent.  hi5!

I just find it funny that while the hypocrisy pisses me off to no end, the word doesn't harm me.  I guess if you can figure out a word doesn't make you then it won't bother you.  Cracker is all you can come up with?  Honkey?   :lmao:  come on!

So you can call a Jewish person a "hebe", a person of Italian descent a "wop", a person of Irish descent a "mick", a person of Polish descent a "pollock", and a person of Asian descent a "chink", and that's okay? Not bigoted? Because none of them are particularly oppressed in America and, except for the Asians, are all subsets of "white"?

What if you are gay white atheist redneck cracker?

I may be giving to much info here, but it would take some intelligence on the DUmmies part to figure it out.  My mole tows the line.  But I have questioned the use of the word "redneck" several times. I point out in the TOS it clearly states no bigoted remarks and let them know I am from the south and might be what they consider redneck.

I basically get laughed at with some of very similar comments as are in this thread.  Was told there are rednecks then there are REDNECKS...  I really wanted to say something... but I didn't.

10. "Cracker" is not a racial slur and white people are not an oppressed group.

Scrunt!

I can't believe the hypocrisy I see at the DUmp on a daily basis! Every time I think I've seen it all, y'all pull one of these boners!

I guess "Cracker" is not a racial slur 'cause Andy Griffith used to sell Ritz "Crackers"!

Uh, Scarlet, if you don't think "Cracker" is a racial slur, I'd sure like to drive you through a few suburbs in Chicago, or Detroit!

Whites are not oppressed? Ya got to be kiddin'! Guess you've never been passed over for a promotion because the government required a minority got the job because the boss had a quota to fill!

Not oppressed? Uh, then I guess it costing a third again to put your "Cracker" kid thru college because minorities are subsidized is not bein' oppressed, huh?

You're an idiot! I'll bet Zimmerman, who I guess is now "White Hispanic", according to the MSM now, isn't bein' discriminated against?

You primitives are pretty damn selective on who is oppressed! Apparently, your definition and mine have two completely different meanings! Amazing how you DUmbasses can twist Webster's greatest work to mean two completely different definitions!

You people never seem to disappoint when it comes to scratch yer head idiocy!

Yes, it sounds similar to Whoopie Goldberg (black jew)(like Sammy Davis JR) explaining the difference between rape, and rape rape.

11. So, is it a "racial slur" to call a white person a "racist"?

White people, being the dominant power in this country, simply can NOT, by definition, be oppressed by insults directed at them. It's utterly absurd to equate "cracker" with "n****r". Not only absurd, but extremely wrong.

Racism is ALWAYS about the power equation.

So by that standard, a white person living in sub-Saharan Africa should be able to refer to a black person as a "******", because blacks for the most part are the dominant power in those countries? It would cease to have connotations of racism?

Just goes to show that the ideals of the "progressive" at DU are all about power and money and getting more of it for themselves, at the expense of others, of course. All this "peace, love, and understanding" is just lip service to further their own ends.
