You say guerilla's and I say freedom fighters.

It all depends which side of the fence you're on.

Same with who's the racist.

Really?
Blanco is the comparable term! The difference is the history of the terms. There really are none comparable to negro which then became the slur.

Does anyone believe every white person is a Supremacist? I highly doubt it.

Plenty of people believe every white person is a cracker, and vice versa. Racism isn't colorblind as many would have us believe. If a black man thinks white people are crackers isn't he a racist?

There is a problem with the weakening of the term racist by progressives. It's turning into a meaningless word used against anyone who doesn't agree with them.

Agreed and there are some in here who will claim that whites opposed to amnesty are white supremists.

Sure, some conservatives and racists, not all of them.

Conservatives do the same thing with "socialist", another word that has lost it's value or impact, due to its incorrect overuse.
