You forgot liberals' love of Cancel Culture.
It doesn't matter how old you were when you said it or how many decades ago it was.
That was my point.
Well, we all know my feelings about cancel-culture....
Cancel cancel-culture!

Just so everyone knows, that video of Eric Adams is from 2019.
So it's not like it was decades ago.
He was calling white people "crackers" less than 3 years ago.

@bi4smooth
The perjorative term, "cracker"'s etymology is derived by what field managers would invent themselves and later catch on with their captives. It has to do with the "Crack" of the whip. You can say the N-Word. Whose stopping you? Go ahead and do it. If you live in the USA you are protected by the first amendment right to shout is out as loud as you want. Just don't think you're going to be invited to the summer bar-b-Que. -

But nobody's even greenlit your pilot. lol -
@lololulu19 Yikes. I thought this was a website to find gay porn, not a 4chan gathering place.

To the original poster, if this is an example of "black privilege," are you conceding that "white privilege" is also a real thing?
Also, to add, it is completely disingenuous to pretend that the word "cracker," and the n-word has the same history, historical context, implications, or consequences.
Newsflash, they don't.
What person was hung from a tree while being called a "cracker?" Now compare that to the number of people hung while being called the n-word. So let's not play the oppression olympics because no one wins.
Also, do you know how many people in leadership positions, and positions of power (power over other ppl, I may add) have had a racist past (and probably present), and are currently serving today? Yet I don't see any post dedicated to them. It's embarrassing that this thread was even created.

Clearly, you are one of those people that believe only whites can be racist.

@Raphjd - you often make that statement - as-if the fact that other people can be racist is somehow an excuse for continued white racism...
What I find amazing is that you (y'all to be more correct) seem to forget that "racism" exists within White cultures and Black cultures alike:
- Brits hate the French - and it's considered a "racial" thing, not just a citizenship/country of origin thing
- Greeks and Turks "hate each other" over "racial" differences
- Chinese and Japanese "hate each other" - over racial differences
- And, of course, many tribes in Africa "hate each other" - over racial differences
ONLY IN AMERICA is race defined so distinctly and resolutely - nearly solely - by skin color!
This blended view is so unlike the rest of the world - and it's also why Whoopie Goldberg got into so much trouble with her comments that the Holocaust wasn't a racial thing... to HER MIND, the Holocaust was white-on-white!
In the US, it's hard to keep the Greek/Turk "war" going on when the both have been marrying the Irish & the Italians & the Portuguese - & maybe even some Asians or Blacks to boot - over the generations... Indeed, many of those "warring factions" have intermarried in the "melting pot" of the US.
And, if you haven't noticed yet, the same is happening more and more frequently between the "races" that DO have different skin pigmentation! While my own heritage is nearly all Scottish & Irish (based on a DNA test), my grandchildren are a mixed bunch: one of my daughters married a Black man, another an Asian one... my grand-babies are a rainbow of fruity colors (racially), and I couldn't be prouder or happier!
But back to the point... 2 wrongs to not make a right, and the fact that some Blacks are racist against Whites, and some Jews are racist against Gentiles, and so on -- does not give you a "free pass" for the white supremacy that is rearing its ugly head in the US today... wrong is wrong is wrong.
I have no problem when @raphjd says some BLM activists are racist... I DO have a problem with excusing the actions of KKK marchers with a "what about BLM?" argument...

@msoft WHAT? Are you implying that this site contains gay pornography?
-
@raphjd I want to hear a senator ask this question of the Supreme Court nominee...
Is it legal to require a candidate for a job to be of a specific gender and a specific race?
If not, should we disqualify anybody who has been selected as a candidate based upon their gender and race?

Careful there - you would lose Clarence Thomas (conservative SC Justice) just as fast as anyone else you can think of!
When you can think of a way to make things perfect - even just your version of perfect, let us know...
Age discrimination is supposed to be just as illegal as racial and gender discrimination - should we send Amy Coney Barrett (conservative SC justice chosen because Trump promised to put a woman on the court) & Neil Gorsuch (nominated by Trump because of his young age - wanting his conservative influence to last longer) packing too, and let the current (Democrat) President choose new ones - based on gender-racial-and-age neutral grounds?
If you can't say "I'll only appoint a black woman", can you also not say "I'll only appoint a Pro-Life justice"? Or a "Pro-Choice" one?
Your points sound reasonable (sometimes... rarely for @lololulu19) on the surface - but if you look beneath - just a smidge - they are wholly unworkable...

Imagine if I referred to black people as "n***ers", ever.
The liberal mob would be screaming for blood, as we repeatedly see.
I am so glad I am not this kind of white lol
And no I'm not a liberal. I hate liberals probably more than you, except for totally different reasons.What do you mean by "this kind of white"?
Are you saying that wanting equality is somehow evil?
Racism is racism is racism, regardless of what liberals try telling us.
I bet you subscribe to the "only whites can be racist" dogma, which in and of itself is racist.
Do you also claim that when a black person commits a crime it is somehow white supremacy?

Clearly, you have no actual response.

@raphjd And clearly, you're one of those people that's trying to add to the divide in this country.
-
@lololulu19 I'm also implying you're a 4chan idiot if that wasn't clear. Also, leave the snark to someone who's actually good at it.

You might want to look to the left for that.

@msoft You joined this site in 2010.. 12 years ago.. yet your profile says you are 21.. which would make you 9 years old when you joined.
How is it possible to be a member of this site for 12 years, and still be a LURKER?What are you doing here?
Instead of LURKER.. you should be labelled what you really are.. a TROLL.

OK, a couple of things:
- Look at your own profile, Einstein:
Joined 22 Feb 2018, 14:53 Last Online 2 minutes ago Age 21
For that matter, my own profile shows:
Joined 23 Jun 2008, 00:43 Last Online less than a minute ago Age 21Can YOU see a pattern?
Probably not: it shows EVERYONE as being age 21 - likely because we don't enter our birthdays anywhere on this site!
- The titles like "Lurker" and "Newbie" stopped working when the forum software was updated YEARS ago.
From a post in 2014:
Ascending these classes is based on the number of posts –
| Class | Number of posts |
| Lurker | 0 |
| Newbie | 3 |
| Jr. Member | 50 |
| Full Member | 100 |
| Sr. Member | 250 |
| Hero Member | 500 and above |If those "classes" were active today, I'd be a "Hero" (1700+ posts), and @lololulu19 would be a "Hero" as well (620+ posts) (note: these numbers are visible to all under the USERS tab at the top of the page)
Mind you, we also used to get SBP on the torrent side for posting in the forum - that doesn't apply anymore, either!
