It deserved to be in the random thread because it was so ridiculous that it's beyond political.. Plus the person was so butthurt that Funches got em so good that he deleted the tweet. That's awesome on all the right levels.
I love him and I hate that the link isn't working for me lol.
It was about some dummy saying that black people should never say "cracker" if they don't want white people to say the N word. Basically telling people they can't say cracker anymore as it's a racial slur.
It doesn’t bother me as a term. As I said in the past, I spent formative years in almost entirety black school, so I’m used to being referred to as honky/hunky (local pronunciation) or white boy. It emphasized a difference, and the difference was me. I was on the bottom in that structure, but I always took it in stride.
Fuck some feigned indignation from an e-douche hater, but it would be nice and way more politically correct if any race based insult was banned as a casual slur (obvious with some circumstances excepted)
Cracker also refers to several generation Floridians who lived off the land. They don’t consider the term an insult (sort of like we don’t mind and embrace coon ass here) en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florida_cracker
ESPY awards. Haha, but for me it was 3rd through 6th grade. Brees’ kids had similar tuxedoes as did Zion so that was kind of cool. They said it was unplanned though. It’s our city’s present and hopefully future sports leaders. Kind of cool that it’s a black and white guy standing together happy which was maybe an apropos avatar to currently be repping. Haha. Also I’m glad that it came out in context to remind me to reiterate that as a person with white, black and brown close family members, I fucking hate racists.

well, the dream is coming true. think we're getting married at a concert venue. if everything goes according to plan a DJ will be playing an actual set at the end of the night.
the coolest thing at this place is we get to meet with the "light and production crew" for the wedding. i'm very very curious to see what that entails
It's a slur, sure, but any white person claiming that it hurts them or that other people shouldn't use it is on some bullshit. Slurs get their power from being aimed downwards from those with power. No white person's humanity is being denied because a black person called them a cracker. What a doodoohead.
What's happening here is a reaction to a perceived loss of power. Whitey can't say the N-word, so he sees that as a restriction on the power given to him by simply being born in America. The desire to stop other people from saying XYZ may be wrapped up in the package of "fairness" but it has no basis. You can't equally restrict power from two parties when only one of them has it in the first place.
That'd be like if I told by boss he's not allowed to threaten to withhold my pay and he responded by saying in that case I'm not allowed to threaten to withhold his either. Yeah okay buddy that's not a problem, you cracker ass motherfucker.
But what if I'm at a rapper show and want to sing along

"Ain't nobody running but crack-ers, so why I need to register?"

Dude if we got just get white folks to say cracker instead of the n-word at concerts, we would have moved a boulder of cultural issues. Straight genius.
Also today is the first day of my last year in college. Almost a bitter sweet feeling that next year I’ll most likely be in a completely different part of the country to work.

ya know, it doesn't have to be that way. i managed to stay in college for 12 years!

I moved to a house under huge trees so i'm basically drowning in leaves, but I also have a sizable amount of Skinks running around my house which is also new, and skinks are cool.
I'm going to have to try this popeyes chicken sandwich everyone is talking about.
Someone brought me one today without the mayonnaise because I don't be eatin' or apprecia'n ova. It was pretty solid for fast food. It was a decent sized breast, and it was fried properly (good crunch) and came with some pickles. It's superior to any fast food chicken sandwich but you can get better at a restaurant (or decent bar that knows how to fry). It wasn't smeat (aka BK), and it wasn't chick filet which to me is ridiculously overrated. I don't mind the grilled chicken at Chick filet, but the fried ones have been average since I first ate one in the mid 1970's. Yeah, I'll eat it but it's more if I'm in a hurry somewhere.
Also Wendy's brought back spicy chicken nuggets which someone also brought me the other day. They were the same as they always are - fairly crisp with some spice but tasting like they were frozen - which they are.
Chick-fil-A is overrated and is anti-LBGTQ+. Fuck them. Wendy's nuggets are yummy, but I crave Popeyes sometimes. Dark meat. Peel the crispy, perfect cooked skin and save it for last. So good. I'm not a white meat fan, but once I'm working again, I'll try the new sandwich.
