Most black fellas would prefer to called names and treated fairly than to be called nice things and treated poorly.

Unfortuanately the Aussie government manages to do the latter.

you know what?

It's only when white people say cracker that bothers me. I have no problem with Cris Rock saying it- he's pretty funny.

It's like some white people try to be cool and try to pretend they are black. And they even pretend to hate crackers.

makes no sense to me.

I remember when I was in 6th form (16-17 yrs old) at school, and I was playing rugby with a couple of my mates at lunch time. I was in one of the, shall we say, "more able" classes, as opposed to the "intellectually challenged" classes (read "smartarse" and "dumbf*cks"). Anyway, one of the people from the lower rung classes sprints past us like a headless chicken and proclaims "All you smart fellas are dumb!"

It was by far the most spurious comment I had ever heard.

crackers shouldn't be censored... that's plain stupidity!

A cracker is either a biscuit, or the slang meaning is an attractive woman (usually blond) why is this offensive?

yes I do hate political correctness. I just had to ask the question and see what responses I would get. I do that a lot- it's not trolling mind you. I am interested in all the different types of responses I get to strange threads. I can care less if cracker is allowed at Apolton, but there may be others who this bothers.

Isn't a cracker a snack food? What do you people have against snack foods?

Snack foods usually require no preparation, which encourages sloth, which makes people less productive. We are against snack foods in general and crackers in particular because they decrease productivity.

Eh, that's only 1 out of 7 deadly sins that gets affected. Crackers should be ok; at least, better than chips or fries (two of the same thing, yes, I know).

But all that time spent cooking also reduces productivity.

I hate cooking. I'd rather let someone else do it. That's why crackers are entirely useful for people like me.

Ok, ok. I don't prefer blondes. Does that make me a gentleman, or allergic to peroxide?

Crackers and snack foods are OK in my book, though.

I'm definitely allergic to peroxide. I break out in these awful hives from it. I don't know if that makes me a gentleman, but it DOES make me itchy.

Good thing I am a gentleman.

Otherwise I might urge you to scratch that itch.

Perhaps cracker crumbs cause the condition, and a cheap cure is to cut off consumption.

As a replacement for the term 'cracker,' I suggest 'honkey'. Any objections?
