Redneck is what they call themselves proudly. It has to do with them working in the sun. If a white person was offended by the term, I would not use it.
The term cracker comes from a person "cracking the whip". From when whites enslaved blacks. The term "honkey" comes from white men cruising the ghetto for black prostitutes. Not wanting to get out of their cars, they would "honk" to get a whore to come to them.
These terms come from blacls being oppressed. I can understand why whites aren't offended by them like blacks are offended by the names you call us. For nobody was calling you a cracker or honkey while they lynched your brother, raped your mother, or killed your father.
There is a slight difference there, and it has nothing to do with who's skin is thicker.
As far as Obama, I most certainly did see hundreds of black people who were instrumental in him getting elected, being very eager to hear his point of view on a race issue. Never in history of this country had blacks an oppurtunity to have the POTUS be a black man. After America's history with blacks, this Gates case was a chance to see if we finally had at least a fighting chance at ppl in powerful positions SEEING OUR SIDE OF THE STORY.
It was important that he said SOMETHING!
It was.
Jindal, doesn't have any race traditions in this country anywhere NEAR the situation with blacks and whites. So when a white person says something about a vicious time in black's history...WTF he got to do with it?
Nothing. At least be diplomatic enough to not be seen as defending someone that is romanticizing a period (albeit he says it's his personal memory), that even the dumbest, stupidest, most retarded ************ on the planet KNOWS was not a "happy" time for blacks!
To me?
The ******* willfully blind motherfucking redneck hillbilly racist ***** was being funny and smart-aleck. They do that bullshit to try and paint a dishonest picture of the oppression of blacks by whites.
KING!
