iwishiwascool Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 I would never argue against that, but historical weight is the last thing anyone should give a fuck about in our supposedly post-racial America. Come visit me in Alabama and you can that it isn't even close to a post-racial America. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bicranium Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Exactly what I thought of when I saw this thread. "Ugh... ruined my day. Booooy... shouldn't have called me a cracker. Bringing me back to owning land and people. WHAT A DRAG!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sol740 Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Come visit me in Alabama and you can that it isn't even close to a post-racial America. It was somewhat tongue in cheek, hence the "supposedly". However at this point in the US we are generally more tolerant, and accepting of other races than ever before. The president is bi-racial for fucks sake, that almost seemed impossible 10 years ago, ask Chris Rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xlr8tn Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 I don't understand it myself. Exactly why are we crackers? Because we're white or because we're salty? Honky I don't really get either but have heard it my whole life. I think more thought needs to go into a really good slur for us. To me I think "whitey" is worse than those other 2 but it doesn't really bother me either. Not sure us cracker ass honkies will ever have a good slur because we don't have the history to put any punch behind it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought "crackers" came the sound that the whip made during the slave ownership times? The white people who used the whip were known as crackers. No?

I learned in grade school that it comes from the word negro, or black in Spanish. Now I know there are other slurs, but I don't really know any history behind any of them.

You are totally right, it is just a word with no historical context whatsoever. http://www.psywar.org/psywar/images/race_lynching.jpg Knowing the etymology doesn't make the significance disappear you stupid fuck.

To be fair, I heard even worse things one time when visiting Circleville. Grew up in round town. It's true in extreme cases. Funny thing is the majority aren't biased and the idiots that are get nervous when other races are around. Never seen anything done. As with most cases, unless they're rolling 5 deep, they're petrified. Two of my best friends in HS were Black Kyle (that's what he called himself and told us to call him) and Tim who was Korean. Everyone got along great with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is DEFINITELY some drugged out racist white trash in cville and I honestly can say I'm glad our house was outside the "city" (if you can call it that) and that I no longer live there. Good on ya for leaving. I would have too. Maybe they like to sex little masked animals? Wouldn't surprise me. I've long said everything south of I70 is just northern KY/WV.

You are totally right, it is just a word with no historical context whatsoever. Knowing the etymology doesn't make the significance disappear you stupid fuck. I should have worded it better. When the term was created, there was no historical significance to it. It was a way to label a race. I didn't mean there was no historical significance to the word at all (again I should have worded my previous statement better). The point I was getting at is the words "honkey", "whitey", ect, they had no historical significance when they were created, but they were created for a purpose, to label a race, same as the n-word.

Fair, but you couldn't pay me to live in Alabama or even move back to Columbus. Ignorance is ignorance, and in highly concentrated areas it's more easily apparent. That being said I have no intentions of moving back to Circleville either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotCarl Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 Back to topic, had race not been an issue in this case (say it was a white on white crime or black on black crime) I wonder if the outcome would change. Take race, media scrutiny, and publicity out of this and its a self-defense case. I'll concede Zimmerman shouldn't have been playing his best impression of Paul Blart Mall Cop but if Trayvon had simply kept walking and not stopped, approached and then assaulted Zimmerman none of this would've happened. Sad that a kid lost his life, then again he probably shouldn't have assaulted an armed man. If Zimmerman is guilty than its a huge loss to self-defense cases everywhere and any gun owner should be wary of thinking about using his weapon. Should Zimmerman win and be chosen not-guilty I wonder what kind of public outcry will take place, rioting maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
