Just googled "Apocryphal" and am not sure where you're going with this. Are you saying "cracker" is a term made up by white people? Or just "false" in general?
No, sorry. I know Wikipedia isn't the bible but they had a bunch of different reasons for the term cracker. The one that I had heard most is the one they describe as apocryphal, that is that the term cracker came from slave masters cracking the whip. I always thought this was a reasonable definition of the term and thought WTF, call me a cracker, big deal? I don't mean I wanted to be a slave master but that calling me the name of someone in the position of power isn't the worst thing you can do
There were a few things, something about poor people or sheep herders or something. Don't really care. I don't even know why I should. The Mexicans I work with call us stupid guerros something like that.
Yeah, it's huero. It really just means light skinned. They call their fellow Mexicans the same thing.
Obama and McCain should have kissed at the end of the final debate. That would have stirred things up. barfo
Just so you know, I was going for hyperbolic controversiality for absurdity's sake, not stating my beliefs...
I know, which is why I didn't single anyone out. I simply didn't want things to go down that path, eventually turning this thread into "Use this thread for anything bigoted you wanted to say, but site rules prevent elsewhere."
