Recently there has been some uproar about a billboard for Boulevard Beer that states "Eenie, Meenie, Minie, Moe -- Pick One" A man was offended because it reminded him of the old nursery rhyme (before the word was changed to "tiger").
So what I want to know is shouldn't the white people of the world rise up and picket all the companies that make crackers? I mean, after all, cracker is an racist slur, right?

Guys, I am not really offended by "cracker." The point here is how easily people are offended in today's world.

You will always be too filled with white guilt to be offended. Sorry!

Remember the story a few years ago on a Southwest Airline Flight when the flight attendant said, "Eenie, Meenie, Minie, Moe, Pick a seat so we can go" and there were two black women who sued the airline for the racial slur.

enough real problems to worry about than to waste my time worrying about a racial slur that u cannot stop someone to say .
Big deal ....waste there time on trying to hurt others to feel good, karma is real and one way or another it comes back at you when needed to learn a lesson and will keep coming back worse till u do learn hopefully not the hard way. be amazed , call it god , karma, etc its out there.
so people use slurs and can say whatever they want i control me and i would feel good inside helping a single mom who cannot feed or shelter her kids , or help a mom whom may have a child with cancer with some support in various ways...that is priceless.
...a racial slur....tiff, let go i say and let God or what ever u may believe do the work .
dont let someones ignorance poison you

not everyone thinks of it that way. I look at as a thing you eat. It don't bother me. If someone wants to call me a cracker so be it. It goes in one ear and out the other. They are the one that is ignorant not me.
