MSNBC, Politico’s Jonathan Martin Refers to Florida Panhandle as ‘Cracker Counties’

When will the loony left stop looking at people based on their color?

Wow, more racism from the left.

 

Gosh, I would have said Redneck Riveria..........

 

It's never racism when you hurl racist insults at Whites.

 

way to be as ignorant about the subject as your blog source


Modern usage

The term is used as a proud or jocular self-description. Since the huge influx of new residents into Florida from the northern parts of the United States and from Mexico and Latin America in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, the term "Florida Cracker" is used informally by some Floridians to indicate that their families have lived in the state for many generations. It is considered a source of pride to be descended from "frontier people who did not just live but flourished in a time before air conditioning, mosquito repellent, and screens."

this is as ignorant as the teacher who got in trouble for saying (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)rdly.

 

and of course our forum filter doesnt know the term either apparently.

Right, I'm sure MSNBC was referring to that obscure definition. They know their audience is a bunch of idiots who will interpret the comment one way and one way only.

 

Yep... some of my family were there in the mid 1700s ........

 

Id almost guarantee you they were

 

So you didn't follow suit with your fellow liberals in condemning that teacher?

 

that seems to be exactly what Breitbart is banking on, youre correct there.

 

im not a righty, I dont feel the need to defend stupidity

 

Um...


Jonathan Martin is White........


You may as well have posted a complaint about Rappers using the N-word. Self-Deprecation gets a pass as far as condemnation is concerned.

 

That's hilarious. What isn't funny is the fact these rednecks could have a lot of influence over who the next president might be.

 

as if anyone needed more evidence Breitbart is just a hack blogger

 

They never will...

 

When the "people of color" come off the plantation and show them it isn't what they want anymore. When the "people of color" want homes, not slave quarters (housing projects). When the "people of color" want jobs and advancement, not a gubmint check and a free ride. Then will come the new day.

 

Jonathan Martin is a commie pinko sleaze. He is a fatass doughboy mama's boy homo.
He has no connection to normal white Americans. So it can't be classed as self deprecation.

 

The bubble people, the beltway elitists, have no feel for the bulk of rural America. Bill Press' producer is forever taking mindless shots at the south and this dbag was reared in SC. It's sad that they mindlessly hate people that are clearly their moral betters. Maybe that's the source of the hate.

 

"Cracker" from cracker to cracker = OK

"Cracker" from anyone to cracker when discussing fishing or gators or NASCAR = OK

"Cracker" from doughboy dbag to cracker gets a longneck across the bridge of the nose.

 

Why would someone get hit when "It is considered a source of pride to be descended from "frontier people who did not just live but flourished in a time before air conditioning, mosquito repellent, and screens."

 

Will Politico fire an employee for using a racial slur on TV? Why is this even a question?

You need to test your theory. I can supply likely taverns for your experiment.

 

Because theyre liars cheats and thieves?
