Rev. Al Sharpton called Limbaugh's statements "repugnant and offensive whether they were intended to be facetious or tongue and cheek."

Sorry, Rev. Al, you just don't get it. It's a "white" thing, you wouldn't understand.

White people like Limbaugh and Steinbrenner are allowed to call each other "cracker."

Such as "Hey cracker, how did you do on the back nine?" or "Say there cracker, do you have any good recommendations for municipal bonds?"

Blacks using the word are engaging in racist derogatory speech, and blacks of all people should know better. But for whites, it's taking ownership of the word, turning it around and making it their own.
