Rangel: "White Crackers"
http://livewire.talkingpointsmemo.com/entry/charlie-rangel-tea-party-is-same-group-of

I am *IMMEDIATELY* calling for all good Liberals here that are concerned about the use of hurtful and derogatory racial language to contact Charlie Rangel office and *demand* his resignation

"They'll avoid it or say it was taken "out of context" but I daresay if a Republican compared the Dummycrats to the "Negro Slaves", why the Dummycrats would be all up in arms!"

Well, I'm going to disappoint, you, Draug--I won't avoid it.

I'm fine with him using the word.

The etymology of the term comes from "whip crackers," and given that he's talking about people in the South fighting first abolition and then civil rights...

I'm fine with the term.

"But it's derogatory!"

TRY and tell me it's equivalent to the N-word.
Go on.
Try and tell me the N-word and "cracker," taken from "whip cracker," are equal.
I dare you.

And while you're taking a swipe at the Dems...allow me to take a swipe at the Right--

What's wrong-you always complain the Democrats are "too PC?"

So you're against political correctness...when it's convenient for you?
When it benefits your side?
When it benefits the white side?
obiwanobiwan (248 D)

And...yeah...

Comparing folks to "Negro Slaves"--that's wrong.

And who whipped the those slaves?

Who, as it were, were whip CRACKERS?

Not a group of people I'm willing to defend.

Calling someone a "Cracker" is closer to calling someone a "Nazi," actually--

And how many people LOVE to compare other groups to the Nazis?

Why, Glenn Beck would be out of a show if he couldn't do that...you'd take away half his talking points if he couldn't compare every last Democrat, liberal, feminist, and just generally everyone who disagrees with his delusions to the Nazis!

Oh, and just because I'll NEVER get to use this again...

"What cracker is this... that deafes our eares / With this abundance of superfluous breath?"

Different meaning, sure, but OH MY GOD SHAKESPEARE USED CRACKER...

WHAT A TERRIBLE-TERRIBLE SLUR!

WHAT A CRUEL WICKED EVIL WHITE-HATING MAN!!!

1. He shouldn't have said it. He should have just called them racists. Cracker is not a very bad term, but it's the principle of the thing. People shouldn't use even mildly negative racialized insults.

2. Faux outrage is faux. Lefties are the only people who are honestly upset that Rangel said something not nice. Right-wingers are just happy that he gave them a talking point.

I am outraged, this man should lose his cooking show!

Seriously though Krellin, you know that in the United States it is socially acceptable for colored people to use racial terms because if anyone complains it comes back to "my great great great ancestors may have been slaves". Then the people end up apologizing to the person who made the racial slur in the first place. However, if anyone else uses such a term it is grounds for them to lose their cooking shows decades later. Now if you pull out an example of a white democrat making a slur I'll gladly agree with your point here.

I think the reason Jack makes no comment about Rangel relates to my point 2 above. Everybody knows you are full of shit and you aren't actually offended by what Rangel said, krellin. So it's hard to take this thread seriously.

But it might be helpful if we consider how we'd respond if a leftie had brought this up, pointing out that Rangel's words are at least not helpful, and not really appropriate for politics.
krellin (80 DX)
03 Aug 13 UTC
Gav it matters not if I am offended in truth....do you idiot Liberals judge the world by first looking at me? Do you live by principle -- that racism is wrong ALWAYS -- or do have to look around at others first to guage crowd reaction before you choose your response?

Fucking hypocrites and fools, the whole lot of you liberals.

I guess we can now use nigger freely as racist language is now deemed no longer offensive. So....what up, nigger? Wanna start a full press modern game?

krellin, that's what I said: "Cracker is not a very bad term, but it's the principle of the thing. People shouldn't use even mildly negative racialized insults."

I'm just pointing out that the reason few people are engaging with you is because we can all see that you're trolling, and most people don't think it's worth the effort of addressing you as if you were serious.

Now you've gone and ruined the possibility of making a useful point here, by gleefully turning this into another thread where you are racist against black people. I regret taking your bait. Maybe the players who've been here longer than me suspected what you were up to. (My apologies to all for engaging with krellin.)
krellin (80 DX)
03 Aug 13 UTC
Grab no trolling here. I provided a link, a suggestion and contact information. You don't respond with outrage as you would if Boehner said nigger because you are not outraged, because you are hypocrites and have no principles, period. You keep saying it is about me...what a fucking cop out! I didn't know I so influenced your personal morality. What a fucktard suggestion.

And I didn't"t make this a racist thing against blacks at all, fuckrard. Range is black....he is apparently free to use racial slurs as a Leader of the country. Good enough for elected officials of the Democrat party, good enough for me. Should I not follow the example of Democrat leaders, especially when YOU and your paps have all said its no big deal?

God you are a stupid fucking hypocrite! How DARE you accuse me of being racist by following Charlie Rangel's personal example, which None of you has strongly disapproved of.

So....what up nigger. Wanna end this thread and play a game?

This is approved *friendly use of the word between friends, you know. I'm not sure why it causes you to get your undies in a bunch - I think your FAUX offense as my approved use of the word is a little silly...

Impotently rage/troll more, Krellin.

Why would anybody take you even remotely serious? You've proven time and time again that you're not interested in rational discussions, just demonizing, screaming profanities, character assassination, and generally showing off how unhinged a old drunk can be.

It would be amusing if it wasn't so sad.

The day you can calmly discuss issues like an emotionally mature adult, then I might take you seriously.

But I'm not going to hold my breath (same thing I said when you made your faux 'apology' oh so many months ago. I pointed out then that it was probably bullshit, and I'm actually disappointed I was right).

Jack - are you soooo stupid you are unable to evaluate a PUBLIC event on your own without viewing through the light of me? How pathetic. Apparently if I pointed out a starving child to you on the side of the road, you wouldn't stop to feed it because you don't like me?

As I said...you have no principle...not a shred of intellectual integrity...and every time you write another lame ass post directed at me, and ignoring Charlie Rangel, you prove yourself to be the witless Liberal drone we all know you to be. You have no principle, no ability to judge a situation on its own merits without first licking your little finger and sticking it in to the Democrat wind to ask how you are supposed to act and feel.

How pathetic....and yet **enitrely** predictable.

Tell me, dear Jackie-poo...what was so terribly offensive to you about this OP:

Oh...and Jack...as for the "unhinged old drunk"....been dry for months Jack, and everyone knows it. The difference between you and me...the difference between a man with integrity, and one that just follows the crowd, is that I...the man with integrity...can be honest about my faults, and I can address them openly and honestly.

You...liberal attack lapdog that you are...you just follow the crowd. You have selective outrage...selective compassion...not a shred of principle inside you. You attack me...while if some liberal was "unhinged" do to drink, you would say it isn't his fault and find an excuse for him. Not a consistent thought within you, not a standard of morality to be found in anything you say, as you drift aimlessly from one moment to the next.

Pathetic? I used to be, sure...I addressed the problem. You? Your *sober* an pathetic...means there isn't much hope for you...

...Everyone, you see how Jack, when confronted with his own words and asked to respond, falls silent? Hides away? Or perhaps he is consulting the Liberal hive-mind to see how he is to respond. After all, he has been proven to be unprincipled in areas of racism. Now he is being confronted with yet another bit of foolish hypocrisy in his own words....tough day, huh Jackie-poo? That's ok...I'm sure a group hug is waiting back at Libtard hive-mind central...
