Paragraphs are our FRiends.

Etymologically, she’s correct. “Cracker” started as a slur based on class, not race.

Today there will be an avalanche of articles from leftist journalists telling whites why they shouldn’t consider ‘cracker’ offensive and accusing anyone who does of racism.

Nah, It’s a term of endearment, right?

And yet on Wednesday, she affirmed that it was a reference to Zimmerman being white.

The left wing race grievers see nothing wrong with crackers...

‘Crackers, please…’
Who cares if Trayvon Martin called George Zimmerman a “creepy ass cracker”? White grievance-mongers, that’s who

I wonder if libtards see her as the product of their policies, and what an absolute FAILURE they have been to the black community

(probably not- her problem is a lack of funding somewhere)

'Cracker' Not a Racial Term

Let's ask the expert.

Yes! Creepy Ass Cracker could definitely be confused for a term of endearment.

I think that everyone is missing the proven fact that NOTHING a Black person says is racists, since Blacks "can't be racist," as we've been told over and over again.

A Black person calling a White person a "cracker" isn't racist, nor is a Black person calling a Jew "a blood-sucking Jew."

The fact is that Black people simply can't be or hold racist views. I believe there was a study done that proved the additional melanin blocks the racism gene, which is dominant in White people, which is why all White people are racist. Good (leftist) White people recognize this, which is why they promote "White Guilt." Bad (Conservative) White people deny this, claiming that people actually have control over their beliefs and actions... As if they're not forced to believe certain things due to their race!

I taught at an inter city school where blacks would refer to each other as niggah....I would write them up for a racial slur. At first my principle informed me it was not considered a slur among blacks. I resisted and told him if we were going to have different rules for skin color then we were perpetrating the inequality of the races. He leaned back in his chair and said I was absolutely right and he would start giving the same punishment for that term no matter what color the student was. Surprisingly some teachers(black) actually voiced objection The principle made it known in no uncertain terms he would not tolerate the use of that term and would take disciplinary action against any faculty that fail to enforce the rule. The word niggah was pretty rare within a month and several black kids were sent to disciplinary school for it use!!!

Cracker means -whip cracker-.

It is a reference to slave owners, and it is a racial slur.

If there's nothing derogatory about "cracker", why was Travon concerned about being approaced by one?

Who thinks "There's a nice, friendly looking man over there looking in my direction. I feel threatened."

Rush just about killed me yesterday. During one of his breaks to commercial which happened right after his discussion of this line, the announcer’s voice said something like, “Rush Limbaugh, the big cracker on the right.”

RJ’s Culture Lessons for Crackas:
1. The terms “Crackas” and “Crazy Cracka-azz Pervert” reflect respect and calm affection.
2. You can trust the word of someone who changes their story repeatedly.
3. Signing statements someone else wrote, but that you can’t read, using aliases, repudiating transcripts that match recordings of your voice, etc., depict honesty and careful attention to detail.
4. Withholding critical information about your close friend’s death is ok if you wasn’t akked.
5. A judicial oath to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth means nothing.
6. Comporting oneself in court as a two-year old demonstrates cleverness, intelligence, and respect for your dead friend and his parents.
