I wonder if 99% of black people have ever used cracker or honkey??????????? Enquiring minds want to know. I have never used the N word in a derogatory manner. I have told black, polish, redneck, yankee, southern, liberal,woman, white,cowboy,men jokes. And I am a redneck southern white woman. This is sooooooooooooo stupid and awful. Chrissy Matthews grew up in a more racist area than I ever did and like I said I am from the SOUTH. I have never called anyone the N word. There was a black dog in town with that name when I was a child. Not my dog though.
I used that word when I learned the poem "eeny meeny miney moe"
My mother explained to me that we did not use that word because it was very hurtful to a group of people, and I never used it again. I was about 3 at the time.
