Trump Bristles at Not Being Allowed to Use ‘N’ Word: Since ‘Blacks Say Cracker, Why Can’t We Use N Word’ (1598 hits)
Donald Trump is chomping at the bit to use the “N” word and he doesn’t understand why, if blacks are allowed to refer to whites as397cdonaldtrump1.jpg ‘crackers’, why whites can’t use the “N” word when referring to whites. Specifically, Trump was wondering why people like African-American Congressman Charlie Rangel (D-NY) are dismissed for using the term cracker, but Paula Deen loses all her sponsors for using the “N” word.
During Monday’s episode of Fox & Friends, Trump and the crew discussed Rangel’s assessment that the Tea Party was merely an extension of segregationist “crackers” who fought the civil rights movement. Then Trump lamented that he couldn’t use the “N’ word but blacks are still allowed to refer to whites as “crackers.”
“If Charlie or whoever it was was a Republican and they made that statement, they’d be resigning from office right now,” Trump asserted.
Trump then continued, speculating that Rangel won’t be held accountable for his remarks.
“Yeah, and nothing will happen to Charlie,” Trump speculated. “I see it all the time. If you’re a Republican and you make a statement like that, it’s over. I mean, you are finished. If you’re a conservative — by the way, the further right you are, the worse it gets. So, it’s a very rough — it’s a double standard. It’s a very rough double standard.”
“Paula Deen was absolutely crucified, what they did with her,” Trump explained. “I don’t know what even happened to her. I see everybody dropped her. She has really got some problems. It’s amazing.”
I know what the N word refers to but I need a definition of the word "crackers" so I can see why it is such a bad word. I can only remember my grandmother using "nab" for the police, and "peckerwood " for whites.

/* I think we all understand what this individual means... If you've never heard the word 'cracker' I would wonder how long you've been Black while living in America.
'***** and Cracker' have always been the opposite of one another (Black vs. White). I've heard the terms ALL OF MY LIFE! I've also known of the term 'Peckerwood' as my folks, like many, have migrated from the south.
Now, as far as this individual who places himself above all, has no place in a civil society. His rantings and remarks deserve scrutinization. I, like many, have lived long enough to know the subtlties of 'Red Necks'like this sneaky, greasy, coniving, slick, slimy, snake! Anything he states is TRUMPED BY THE TRUTH! He is not worthy of my attention...
Now...what are your views, observations, and opinions of MY LATEST BOOK? Opinons are can be received via our usual online forums or private email. Don't wait to make an opinion or observation after I'm gone...it won't do me any good.
I thought you were more intelligent than that?

If this is what a lot of money and the best schools can be expected to inspire, I think there’s another perspective needed. But the DONALD, unbeknownst to him, does present me with a possibility in this rancor for something besides a fairness in racism, bigotry and name-calling. I see a chance for something positive, a new beginning.
If I recollect rightly, the whole slur was “white cracker”. Now... viewing this in the light of today’s processing, mental and foodstuffs included, I’m led to believe we have reflected in the cracker selection, every hue that can also be applied to this slur. What I’m proposing is taking the sting; the insult and possibly even the slur, yes even power out of racism, bigotry name-calling , if you will, by introducing a perfect democracy into the game. Yes, let us all be crackers - WHITE crackers; BLACK crackers; RED, BROWN and YELLOW crackers, even HISPANIC non –WHITE , or bi-RACIAL crackers, the whole gamut.
I’m currently searching for a “NEGRO” spiritual that will promote, along the lines of “FREE AT LAST”, the same sentiment conveyed in MLKs famous speech. NO, I hear some of you with your thinking caps on humming and substituting words for “I’m a PEPPER, he’s a PEPPER. NO, not only is this not a “NEGRO” spiritual, it does not attain to the level of seriousness I think is needed.
We’re even set If and when ETs arrive, for those of you that ascribe to the notion. For those of you who hold the idea of a CREATOR , all we may need to fear is HE, SHE, IT, or THEY, along with the ETs will look upon us as EARTHLING crackers that have gone totally BANANAS.
As long as the mind is enslaved, we will never be free. The Donald has been around long enough to understand the social dynamics in America and as a rich republican, he gets the politics as well. The best way to beat a blow hard is to beat him at his own game. Forget about Trump and his need to stoop to name calling. I'll bet he doesn't know one person for him to dialogue with about this issue. He is would be celeberty ho need a haircut. If he gets in your face, have him arrested for harassment.
I'll bet he knows someone of whom he has called a cracker. They use that word and peckerwood referring to each other. Why is it offensive to whites when we do not accept their standatd of ridicule? How much sleep has he/they lost thinking about the "*****s" they can harass the next day? Why are they so pre- occupiied with the "inferior" black man? Have any of you wondered that. It is quite humerous to know he goes to bed at night with your shoulders, 8 pack muscles, brains and genitals on his mind. Even the Donald. They don't evem know that "*****s" come in all colors, especially white. Think about it!!!!

I don't like this man specially after he attacked the President. Some one needs to assign him better things to do in life. All he does with his time is attacked the blacks in this Country. He thinks because he have all the money he can say and do what he wants.
