Am I a white Irish/German American?
No, you're a cracker. Now shut up and pay your taxes.
The equivalent of “Black Irish?”
Thats funny
It’s anything the libs wants it to be.
You mean a “cracker”,right?
A white Hispanic is someone born and living in Catalonia.
Ah the Caganers
Honkey Cracker
She was a white Latina.
We took several photos of her like this. It was a clear contrast against her normal healthy skin tone now.
Anyway, I did get a laugh out of her saying "Baby, I'm white now!"...
I guess I have to take her club card back now. *sigh*
; )
Who is “white” in liberal-talk is related to what is “black”?
Recall that he who controls the meaning of words controls the outcome of the discussion.
In the context of Critical Race Theory, just what, exactly, is meant by “race” and thus “racism”, “racist” and even “black”? We have a prominent case of “race” in that BHO told us in his own autobiography that in his youth he struggled with his racial identity and finally chose to be ‘black”. However, he also tells us that his mother was Caucasian and his father was from Kenya but listed as part Arab. In 1988, none other than Bill Clinton was called our “first black president” by Nobel poet Tony Morrison.
If a Caucasian man can be “black”, and a person with a Caucasian mother can decide to be black despite the fact his biological father may be more Arab than black or something else, then what, exactly is meant by “black”?
When Bill Maher, during a panel discussion on HBO complains that Obama’s policies are “half-assed” “because he’s only half black.” and that “if he was fully black, I’m telling you, he would be a better president.”, and that “there’s a white man in him holding him back”, than what is “black”? For that matter, then what is “white”?
CNN’s Soledad O’Brien writes of a private meeting in 2007 with Jesse Jackson in her book, “The Next Big Story.” During the meeting, Jackson complained to O’Brien, whose mother is a black woman from Cuba, that there weren’t any black anchors on CNN. She wrote, “He looks me in the eye and reaches his fingers over to tap a spot of skin on my right hand. He shakes his head. “You don’t count,” he says.” She closed the section with “[t]he arbiter of blackness had weighed in. I had been measured and found wanting.”
Finally, Dr. Cornel West, whose official web site describes him as “a prominent and provocative democratic intellectual”, was the subject of an article in the May 18, 2011 Washington Post. Reporter Krissah Thompson opened with, “Scholar Cornel West’s scathing critique of President Obama’s liberal bona fides in a series of recent interviews has ignited a furious debate among African American bloggers and commentators.”
These are all facts that anyone can verify on Google in 0.8 seconds.
References to race, racism and especially to “black”, in all these contexts, is clearly not about “race”. It is about ideology, socialist ideology. The problem is not how black all these people may be, but how RED. With that in mind, to a person who equates “black” with socialist, then “racism” and “racist” is only about people who reject socialism and socialists.
You didn’t ad creepy Ass, just sayin./S
It depends.
When applying for government assistance, Hispanics are not white. There are different boxes to check on the forms.
When the MSM and the democrats need to manufacture a victim to challenge the 2nd Ammendment, Hispanics are white. Everyone knows that white is evil.
I guess I am a White Lebanese. Who knew?
Isn’t the govt wonderful? If you are hispanic, you have the option of identifying yourself as white or black. This is because the designation of race has been convoluted to be partly based on skin pigment (white vs black) and partly on true race (asian). Since there is no brown racial classification by the US govt, a hispanic person with brown skin tones can go to white or black depending on which one they think they fit into. The govt then gets around the confusion by requiring an ethnic designation for hispanics/latinos to be used in combination with the white/black racial choice. In that way it doesn’t matter if the person checks off white or black, the hispanic designation classifies them as brown. It is all totally ridiculous political correctness.
White(Caucasian) is a race. The rest are nationalities.
Just to be clear it is about liberal-initiated racism in the end. A white non-hispanic has the least access to fairness, A white hispanic gets more advantages, a black hispanic gets a bit mpre advantage, and a black non-hispanic gets the highest advantage to govt assistance. Assistance should be about need, but the racial/ethnic classifications are about pre-determining a person’s need.
