No, I know crackers who are actually good for something, unlike you. Moron.

Hey I know you wanna use the word with your Klan buddies, since you’re probably on welfare what is there to lose? Go ahead, shout it from the mountain tops, why would anyone care what a racist loser like you says anyone. My remarks are about actual human beings who aren’t just dregs and druggies.

When my kids were little, my wife and I were watching Blazing Saddles. Unbeknownst to us, the kids were listening upstairs. Finally one of them couldn’t take it anymore - “They can’t SAY that!”
