I'm using YOUR logic: calling a Black person "cracker" is the same as calling a White person "cracker," right?
Could you call a black man a "wise cracker" as in someone who is known for cracking jokes? Yes you could. One of the definitions for cracker is a jokester who is always telling funny jokes. And of course we all learned from the Zimmerman trial that cracker can also refer to someone working for or with law enforcement.

What are you talking about? You just proved my point.
Well, you don't know what I see, but the racial connotations of lazy, and shucking and jiving are there. Anyone who wants to call President Obama those names, deals with that history and those connotations.
Yes because bigots and haters, and people with chips on their shoulders will always look at any black person, no matter how successful or accomplished they have become in their lives, and they will only see their skin color.
It sad,but some people always see the worst in some people, and always hold bigoted opinions with low expectations for others.
No, I answered, because it did not suit you, does not mean I did not answer.
I'd give you credit if you answered my question. You didn't. I asked you what it that the largest hate forum on the web regularly uses shucking & jiving as an insult towards Blacks, and you asked what forum, and then disappeared.
You have a habit of trying to weasel out of discussions, claiming you answered questions you never answered.

How about this then... if a Black man had been following Trayvon Martin, and Martin called him a creepy cracker, would you have thought that was racist?
I realize that, but the man shows no respect for the office of potus. Barack Obama was born with African ancestry. That was out of his control and we all know that Limbaugh thinks less of him for it. Why not attack his policies and stay within the boundaries of politics? Nope, Rush has to put him down in his place every chance he gets.
Rush is pulling down the entire Conservative party by alienating blacks, etc. with his racist remarks.
If Rush continues to represent the conservatives, the GOP will soon be composed solely of old, white, fat, uneducated, narrow-minded, men!
