Wasn't cracka supposed to mean, whip cracker?
So tired of the double standard.
As far as I know, there were white slaves. Not every white person owned slaves.....not even close. White people put affirmative action into play. What gives?

'scuse me? Over 600,000 died in that war. Having said that, it was a shame because it was not a "civil" war and never should have been fought.

Is 600k more than 300k? If so he's right. Excuse yourself
Here is a link to an excellent article ("Obama Brings Affirmative Action Back With A Vengeance") that appeared in Investor's Business Daily on June 27th. It clearly shows just how ridiculous this country has become when it comes to race!
Your premise is flawed! My ancestors came to the US from Norway in the early 1900's. Slavery had been abolished about 30 years before they ever set foot in this country. I'm so tired of the excuse that all white people are guilty of this crime. Were some whites guilty of these actions? Of course but to paint all white people with the same brush is as ridiculous as blaming all blacks for the crimes of some. It's the 21st century people lets move past this line of thought.

Fu#*ing bullshit.
This is Liberal Logic. Equality at it's best.
True that anyone can be the victim of a racist act. But it's also true that the minorities in this world almost always get the worst of it. That's why the bill of rights exist, to keep the majority in check. It's not "liberal" to speak the truth that African-American people have had the worst of it. If they've given a little back to Caucasians, well that's only natural and people reap what they sow, right? Blacks were forced to band together due to their marginalization by Caucasians. When this happens, new culture is always formed. New language, new art forms. Calling out African-Americans for the use of the word "cracker" is specious. If you're "white", Do you really feel offended by the word? Do you really feel marginalized? Do you really feel like you're being treated like an inferior being? Be honest with yourself. Doesn't bother me one iota. The N-word on the other hand, when used by Caucasians, is heavily charged and used to marginalize and remind them of their supposed inferiority. So, let's just stop this specious argument and be honest about the N-word, and just stop using it (if African-Americans want to use it, let them. It helps take the charge out of it for them). Caucasians have to assume responsibility for the world they're experiencing. They caused the marginalization and the resulting cultural revolution that we call the "African-American community" and the language that includes the word "cracker." You reap what you sow.
There's no flaw. The marginalization of African-Americans went on long past slavery for a hundred years and more. It's only been fifty years since the civil rights act was passed. The marginalization still goes on for the African-american community. Don't kid yourself to think that it doesn't. Just read some of the comments in this thread and on this board. I'm not throwing guilt around, it's the truth. Just pay attention. Read history. Read the experiences of African-Americans today, and then tell me there still isn't a race problem with whites acting like a tyrannical majority still.
