:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

The word doesn't really have any power.
The racial slurs they have for us have power because of their social/economic and political, position relative to us, both actual and perceived nationally and globally

Agreed.

It is offensive and shouldn't be tolerated especially by people of color. Since we should be more sympathetic in the use of language to dehumanize another person. It doesn't matter if one word carries more weight because of the historical usage. It should never be acceptable.

Any attempt to rationalize any slur about someone's race, ethnic background or sexual orientation dehumanizes the user as well as the subject in which it is intended.

It isn't silly to dismiss it. In this context it doesn't matter. People's lexicon grow everyday. Just because a new word or a new definition arises doesn't change its current impact. Words are that they are. If a new term is created tomorrow for the love of your life. Should your wife dismiss it cause it is a new term? Or should she embrace it based on the intent when you use it towards her? You are entitled to view it as you wish. I'm not knocking you. I am just explaining how I see it. Which of course is my reality. And how cac is defined to you is yours.


We'll have to agree to disagree gentlemen. I don't even believe that "race" is an actual thing. It's just a silly social construct invented by people to maintain systems of power. So I can honestly say that if I felt the phrase "CAC" was some incredibly derogatory term I wouldn't use it.... it's largely meaningless imo.

As to the notion of dehumanization.... that's a pretty huge stretch and it draws a false equivalence between actual slurs (spic, chink etc) and meaningless phrases ("cracker").

Just my opinion.

If I call every white racist/troll from Boston a "Walter"... does this rise to the level of "racial slur"?
 
I can respect that... I find your political views (birther) and stance on the Trayvon Martin case highly infuriating (and very CAC-tastic). But I appreciate the insight.

the only political views you know of are the ones I posed in a "Birther" thread....People think that because I dont like Obama as President, that Im racist...I also didnt really like Clinton or G W Bush...but I would have voted every day of the week and twice on Sunday for Herman Cain...but where does that get me? Im still a racist CAC...One of the last few posts says that the worst thing you can call a white person is racist...that it hurts the most and its probably true....it really does make us want to say "but I have lots of black friends"....lol....

as far as the zimmerman case....There isnt even any white people involved and still brings tension between whites and blacks. when I commented in the post about it...I hadnt heard any of TM's gf's interviews....all I knew was what GZ had said and thats what I based my comments on....I did take it to far once I saw it was getting under folks skin but in all honesty...Ill go back to my first comments in the thread...I think GZ had a permit to carry a gun and he wanted to use it. I think that the Stand your ground law would hold up based on how he explained things....now things are looking different...

Fair argument. However it's worth noting that as far as I'm concerned the phrase CAC is descriptive of more than "ethnicity". It really speaks to an entire mindset. There are plenty of white folks who aren't "CAC's" imo.

And I think it's silly to dismiss the lack of historicity as though it's irrelevant. Let's be honest... you'll have to do a lot of emotional and intellectual acrobatics to assert that there's some kind of equivalence between "CAC", "Nig.g.er", "Spic" and "Chink".

We should keep this conversation grounded in reality.

I doubt that anyone would argue that blacks were screwed over from the time they set foot in the US....but no one today had any hand in that....and I cant for the life of me understand why people still have issues with it today....and I dont mean that to be disrespectful...I can see why people would look back at what happened 200 years ago and say "damn...that was fucked up" but I honestly cant grasp why it still causes so much anger today to people who didnt really live through it. I mean...should I still be pissed about the over 300,000 irish who were sold as slaves in the mid 1600's and for only one tenth of what an african slave was sold for....

http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Were_there_Irish_slaves

And Im also not saying that black people today have not lived through any kind of racism...but it pales in comparison to times of slavery....

In a nutshell man...racism is a bad thing...and it will always be here....if everyone had the same color of skin...the blue eyed people would hate the brown eyed people or the blonds would hate the red heads....all we can do is play the hand we are delt and make the best of it....

I feel you. I can't knock you just cause we disagree. I totally understand what you are saying. I just see things differently. Intent matters a great deal with me. So that is why any term if used to offend a person isn't cool with me.

you were ok up until that point.

My grandmother was born in 1915.
Her parents were slaves....
Which means my mom and dad's grandparents were slaves....
how removed is that?

When my mom and dad were born they weren't allowed to drink from the same fountain as a white person
they weren't allowed to go to school with white children.
They had no rights...and marched to get civil rights....

It hasn't been as long as you want to believe... it went on for 400 years... but from 400 years up until 1960's we weren't on the same playing field... and im some ways still aren't

so ease up on that whole the people today didn't have a hand in it... yes they did...and their parents did as well....who taught them how to keep it going up to now.. and there are people my age (mid 20's) who are being schooled by their grandparents ( people who were alive before the civil rights movements) on how to keep it going until im up there in age as well fam

I think that is part of the problem....I think most white people think like I do...Im not saying that there is nothing to be angered about...Im saying that I personally dont see it...in a visual sense...maybe that is me being naive....Ill give you that....I know Im not racist and I dont see it around me because Im not looking for it...I dont mean to say its not there...its just like I said that I dont see it when my wife says people stare at us...and iv gotten pissed at her before because she has said to me "I shouldnt expect you to understand because you're a white man."

Right, you'd be surprised as to how many people aren't like you though...seemingly open minded about race relations. You also have to understand, sometimes when white people do things that are racist, or indulge in biggotry, it isn't even their fault persay...its learned behavior. They do things without even realizing they're doing it... but having people in your family go through stuff, your sense are heightened when it comes to that sort of thing.
Its not looking and fishing for blame or trying to seek it out so there's something to complain about.
its just a matter of sometimes it happens and we take note.

Like you say, you don't see it when you're with your wife.. and you're looking through your eyes though... you have no reason to feel out of place, or uncomfortable in america or the circles you run in...

now her on the other hand... looking at it through her eyes she sees it and you shouldn't be pissed when she says you can't understand it cause you're a white man..

just accept it and know you won't ever truly get it.. cause you won't however if you just listen to her and understand where she's coming from you'll start to see and notice things differently, i think
 

:lol::lol::lol::lol:

CAC has become a norm here among us... The question should be geared towards the white brothas on the board. I'm straight with anybody, shit don't matta. I must say that the term CAC should be a term for those who rightfully so deserve it. Just like when blacks fuck up and a wild incident happens that makes headlines, we say to ourselves... "damn...:smh:... niggas man..."... Many of us are guilty of this. Its the same when white's fuck up... we say to ourselves "damn...:smh: cracka ass crackas man". Whats funny is that both have been almost equally used with most members of the board. :dunno:

Just an observation... carry on....

this exact thing happened to my best friend last night....he told me at work today that there was a knock on his door last night at 2:00 am...they were lookin for his brother...he pawned something stolen....the next thing out of his mouth was "I dont think that n.... will ever learn".

reason how? by telling him the error in his ways? showing him how and why he doesn't get it?

I appreciate your sincerity and willingness to dialogue. Here's the thing dude. Largebillsonlyplease made some points that you might want to consider carefully. The truth is that as a white person you're largely insulated from the reality of the priveledge you enjoy in this system (contrary to the shrill cries of "reverse racism", "unfair" advantages afforded minorities etc etc).

Massive systemic racism isn't a thing of the past that we can consign to history books... it's an ongoing reality. While you're certainly right that black folks are better off than they were under slavery the rest of your post is way off mark. Black people didn't become full participants in this society until some 50 years ago. Even then, with the full weight of federal law, in-your-face-racism persisted well into the 80s (look up redlining for instance... hell citibank was fined for offering black people higher interest rates solely on the basis of skin color just a couple of years ago.)

Beyond all of this there are systemic issues that persist to this day (as an example disparities in sentencing/incarceration rates along racial and economic lines), employment discrimination etc etc etc. I could literally write an essay on this but I'm leaving the house soon so I'll leave the rest to your imagination for the time being.

Your wife is right. "Race" for all it's meaningless-ness in actual terms happens to be a very real and persisting issue in 2012.

As for your comments on your political views. I would say you should challenge yourself a little in terms of asking yourself why Obama's birth status is even on the table as a political issue? Never mind the fact that you don't consider yourself a racist and would vote for Cain. If you're honest with yourself you'll have to concede that the whole birther campaign represents exactly the kind of racism you claim to disdain. This isn't about "liking" Obama.... it's about basic decency.


I feel you. I can't knock you just cause we disagree. I totally understand what you are saying. I just see things differently. Intent matters a great deal with me. So that is why any term if used to offend a person isn't cool with me.

Respect. You certainly have the more mature view I'll give you that bro. :lol:

And honestly... I clown a lot online but I don't generally walk around calling white folks crackas irl.

Yes it's offensive. It's burns my soul. :rolleyes:

:yawn:


Loaded poll huh? :lol:

You've been civil in your responses, so I will offer the same courtesy.

The problem with White America is that many share your belief that we actually live in a post-racial society. Nothing could be further from the truth. We (well most of us) don't jump at the chance to make everything a matter of race. But when conflicted about a situation where a non-person of color is afforded the luxury or justice in the exact same circumstance, bells ring.

The WORST part about it... When we speak out about it, many of you dismiss our claims as just "throwing the race card". As if somehow, the burden of proof is on us...to YOU. In which case Whites will not be swayed in their thought process and the issues swell up into what we see daily.

And please (White America) stop using Obama as a barometer for proof that this country has moved past racial inequality. Remember... He was elected IN SPITE of RACISM, not because of it's nonexistence.

So like I said it made you emotional.....

And you replying to my post which wasn't directed towards you isn't the same as me replying to your reply of my post.:cool:


Yeah I had an emotional reaction to your post it was disdain and scorn.

It was a public post, therefore a proclamation, so it was directed at anyone who could read it otherwise you would have sent a pm.

What did you want a co sign??

Yes Sir, It's interesting what he/she (largebillsonlyplease) writes, "[White people] do things without even realizing they're doing it..." :smh: That is a wrong assumption to take. All white folks function with a system of racism/white supremacy. Most white folks, if not all white folks, will deny the existance of this system yet they benefit from it in all areas of people relations. Thus, As long as the global, national and local context of racism/white supremacy is in place, every person that is classified as white and is in a position to practice racism/white supremacy is a racist/white supremacist suspect until proven other wise.

As a non-white person, assuming that "[White people] do things without even realizing they're doing it..." is a way of setting up oneself for major disappointments. As long as the system is in place, black people should assume that all white people intentionally know what they are doing within the global, national and local system of racism/white supremacy.

Herman was only in the race for this bs move that white people pull now. I wanted Cain to get the nod to put this to the test because I don't believe a word of it. Dude only got on white people's radar because he was everything they want in a black person... He knew his place under white people's thumb, he attacked black people in general and defended rich white people (Massa).

It felt so comfortable for yall to see that, but I still know how it goes and there is no way that ya'll would have shown up to voting booths. It would have been the lowest white turn out in the history of this country. These Clarence Thomas motherfuckers have their places in white people's hearts, but putting any real power in any black hands isn't apart of the plan. Yall do carefully craft ways to place pawns for this whole "I support this guy so I'm not racist" shit. It was defintely a no go when dude didn't go all the way coon on that "niggarhead" ranch thing.

This... they know. They are comfortable with playing stupid when dealing with us. It is easier to validate themselves and their way of life by calling racism everything but racism.

The white cat dropped onr gem. "Racist" is the only term that hurts white people, and that is only because of the social backlash created by the the Civil Rights movement. Which is why you can call a white cat "cracker" with all the venom from your guts and it mean nothing, but calmly challenge them on racial issues and imply that they are racist... watch how emotional they get.

:yes: C/S... I was kicked out of an internship by some white folks just because i openly told them that i suspected all of them of practicing racism/white supremacy. Remember i said "suspected" and i never said that "all you white folks are racist/white supremacists"... but they still threw me out. You are right in regard to what you wrote. Black people on BGOL should try it out as a scientific anti-racist experiment. Watch how many of us will lose our jobs...

And yeah, in regard to the statement, "[White people] do things without even realizing they're doing it...", black folks keep forgeting that most white folks are masters of deceit and the art of deception is one of their major ways of practicing racism/white supremacy. White folks will come at you like i am a christian missionary and some will come at you like i am an explorer and some will come at you like i am a pilgrim and some will come at you like i am a quaker, etc but at the end of it all they will leave you (as a non-white person) without any land and/or resources... :smh: :angry: Think i am lying, go ask the so called "Africans" and "Native Indians" :hmm:

dude...I just dont get it....you guys can tell me all day long what goes thrugh your heads as black men...you can tell me your thoughts and expectations and everything and all I can do is believe it....you are the experts on black men...but when I tell you about white people..comming from a white man...you then tell me our thoughts and disregard what I say because you already KNOW the truth....

come on man....do you really think everyone of those people in that internship were racist...and actually involved in some white supremacy movement?
 
If blacks knew what cracker really meant they would realize the joke is on them each time they use it...
 
When I was a kid we used to call them Keeblers. Lol, kind of funny back then. But I was a kid. When I was a kid I didn't like Hispanics either. But at some point you hopefully mature not just physically but emotionally too. But that is me. I am mosdef not trying to change the world. Especially people on the Internet.
 
i knew i would get somebody :lol::hmm:


but seriously CAC has no power what so ever over white folks. Cracker dont have any power. Cracker doesnt have the same deep dark history as ni99-er so i think majority of white people just dont give a damn. I think Honky might hold more weight then CAC or cracker but still nothing can compare to the N word.


I might say it on here but in real life i dont say it because i dont want the shit said to me i dont give a fuck if your white or black. My black friends no allowed to say that shit around me. What we as blacks need to do is stop embracing all this negative bullshit and thinking its cool. Then get our panties all in a bunch when other races think its cool to say.

I hate the word coming outta anybodies mouth period. I hear it all day at my job these lil youngsters out in the hallways talking and i swear its a nigga in every damn sentence.


So you can think your winning some kind of epic battle by calling a white person a CAC but in the end you aint really do shit........

cracker to me means they aint black so after a certain age they crack...

cracker ass crackers....:lol::lol::lol::dance::dance::dance:
 
Check this out.


I don't use the term cracker. Here's why.




But then not to long ago, I heard a piece of historical info that the term "cracker" refers to "massa" aka the whip "cracker", a term coming from the slavery experience.

stop bigging up whites by calling them crackers

If blacks knew what cracker really meant they would realize the joke is on them each time they use it...
Wrong. Wrong. And Wrong.

The word does not have its origin rooted in anything pertaining to slavery. That has become a common standing myth probably resulting from a mixture of revisionist history and the white mans desire to put a twisted positive spin on an insulting derogatory term while burying true history.

The word was originally British slag or colloquialism for worthless or crazy person (it also was used as an offensive term to describe scottish farmers). It was a term applied to the dregs of society, the scum of the scum. For those who know the history of the colonization of Australia, this is where they sent their "crackers".

The use of the word by blacks was based on the evil acts perpetrated by whites and a response to their animal like nature and obvious sickness. They were thought of to be a heartless, crazy species without a soul. The application of the term had NOTHING to do with the often referenced "cracking of the whip".

So please feel free to call a cac a cac without falsely thinking that you are somehow giving them props or referencing a master/slave relationship in any form or fashion.

totally disagree.
its a way of realizing that even the ones who seem ok and the ones who might smile in your face are still capable of doing the things that others who's intent you're sure of are doing.
it doesn't mean that i don't think that they don't benefit from it, they all do without exception. It means that Bill who never says anything out of line is cordial and friendly and never even hints at being a biggot....still benefits from the system and at any point whether he knows it or not or even intends to, is capable of flipping the script when convenient and go to that other side... how can i be setup for disappointment when i know whether they are biggots or not they benefit from the system
and
at any point whether there has been a hint of hatred or not it can surface...and quickly?
 
Wrong. Wrong. And Wrong.

The word does not have its origin rooted in anything pertaining to slavery. That has become a common standing myth probably resulting from a mixture of revisionist history and the white mans desire to put a twisted positive spin on an insulting derogatory term while burying true history.

The word was originally British slag or colloquialism for worthless or crazy person (it also was used as an offensive term to describe scottish farmers). It was a term applied to the dregs of society, the scum of the scum. For those who know the history of the colonization of Australia, this is where they sent their "crackers".

The use of the word by blacks was based on the evil acts perpetrated by whites and a response to their animal like nature and obvious sickness. They were thought of to be a heartless, crazy species without a soul. The application of the term had NOTHING to do with the often referenced "cracking of the whip".

So please feel free to call a cac a cac without falsely thinking that you are somehow giving them props or referencing a master/slave relationship in any form or fashion.

The white skin....refracting the SUN of God (Good) are limited in their potential for everlasting life through natural communion with interdimensional energies.

They therefore need religion.(Re line eye on)

They are the fallen......the earth is more their home than ours.

Vampires requiring the life essence......their god is sin.....the Babylonian moon god if I'm not mistaken.

There is no redemption for the devil that is not ritualistic because their nature is sin....

They must be forced to regenerate.

The earth is only a school for the sun gods.....a lesson we take to see if we have purified ourselves from material desires and ready to exist as pure energy........or are we still SLAVES to the flesh?....our enslavment is of our choosing. The final test.

The devil...the white man is god of this. For now. The roles reverse .but this is hell. One of our choosing.
