the historical association with cracker being "privileged enough to choose when to be offended for tedious political stunts"

 

[PhDeac]

Except of course that both are foods that are negatively associated with the receiver's race.

How is the association between black people and fried chicken and watermelon the same as the association between white people and crackers?

 

[ImTheCaptain]

this is the dumbest possible way possible to have a discussion about a real, important topic.

way to go, idiots at the Wake Forest Review

They are both based on race?

Should the intent of the other party not be considered here?

I feel sorry for your students... I truly do

you think her intent was to undercut his message by marginalizing his position as a upper middle class white person?

 

[Colonel Angus]

Nah... just as long as the other party is on the same end of the political spectrum.

Nothing to see here... keep moving

He's asking a good question. Angus and DD:

What is the association between black people and watermelon/fried chicken?

What is the association between white people and saltine crackers?

What is the association between white people and saltine crackers?

Race. They are both negative stereotypes based on race. That's the association.

 

[ImTheCaptain]

WHAT IS THE ASSOCIATION WITH CRACKERS and white people?

they're both off white?

 

[DistrictDeacon]

So if an upper middle class black person gets handed a watermelon, no big deal?

Race. They are both negative stereotypes based on race. That's the association.

How about some higher order thinking, you child. Come on, answer the questions.

Fuck off. If you think you're so enlightened, you answer the question.

no, im saying her intent doesn't matter because he's not going to be marginalized by a dumb insult

 

[wakephan09]

Fuck off. If you think you're so enlightened, you answer the question.

You're the one that doesn't understand. Answer the questions thoughtfully and I think we'll be able to work out the differences together

 

[ImTheCaptain]

Fuck off. If you think you're so enlightened, you answer the question.

you're the one positing some nefarious association which no one can explain

 

[DistrictDeacon]

Is an upper class black person going to be marginalized if he's given a watermelon by a poor white person?

 

[DistrictDeacon]

You seriously don't know that cracker is used as a racial insult? And I'm the dumb one?
