Elite Guru 1524 Posts Member since: 2005/9/16 0:00	OK we can't say "niger" because it's a racial slur. I get it. But blacks can. And now blacks can use the racial slur "cracker" towards whites. Huh?!? I say its high time we start letting each other know that "cracker" is just as racial as "niger" and we should stand to voice against using this slur in any context. When is enough, too much?

It's their intention that can be demeaning. As a white man doing white things I often encounter other whites that enjoy doing the white thing. That's mighty white of you to bring this up. Don't let it bother you to much unless of course your a cracker. Then I can see why you might get really pissed off.

McDonalds marketing dept. has gone after a niche market with minorities. Truth today is scewed by who's reporting it. Conservative vs liberal and in betwwen.

Mel Gibson uses it but it's OK cause he's a celeb. Good ole Mel! you would think he would know better especially in Hollywood. Nobody in Hollywood knows anything. LOS ANGELES (AP) The two-minute clip of Mel Gibson using a racial slur and calling his ex-girlfriend a "whore" during an argument are unlikely to be the last ugly words the public hears from the actor. RadarOnline.com, the celebrity website that posted the recording Friday, says there's more where that came from. For 10 days, the site has posted written transcripts of secret recordings it said Gibson's former girlfriend, Russian singer Oksana Grigorieva, had made. The snippet released Friday is the first audio of the confrontations that have been aired. The clip includes segments in which a voice that sounds distinctly like the Academy Award winner is heard telling Grigorieva that she is dressing too provocatively and that it would be her fault if she were raped. He uses the N-word at one point, and the recording is laced with his profanity.

Either you like vanila or don't, you like chocolate or don't. Some people like it together. We are mixed society that sometimes blends like oil and water. Ax me how I know.

Funny thing is you know which group each word represents. we have always assigned degroggorty names for groups we don't like. WOP? Referred to Italian immagrants... WOP = With Out Papers. It was written on the back of their hands as they came into the states. Lesbo is interesting. That word goes all the way back to greek mythology and the island of Lesbos, where women loved each other (IIRC).
