Today I learned that 'cracker' isn't offensive as long as it is used as a descriptor.

[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 2229727, member: 7900"] [FONT=Georgia][SIZE=3]Actually, that list surprisingly left one out. I've been called "poor white trash" before. At the time, I was just a teenager in high school and had no idea that it was supposed to be a negative, racial term. As for crackers, although they are listed as a "snack" cracker, I prefer Cheez-Its. Also, growing up in the Panhandle and around farmers and ranchers, I never heard of cattlemen using whips too much, so Brandi's comment is a little surprising to me. Teamsters with the "critter-pulled" wagons did use them and were proficient enough with them to use them as weapons against each other. Otherwise, as mentioned before, it really irritates me that there are so many politically-correct folks out there telling others what it is that they should say, what things we don't "need" (like firearms with 30 round magazines), and generally trying to use any means to paint a negative picture of others. As far as I'm concerned, that's just as bad as using a racially negative term. [/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
