Charlie Rangel on "Terms of Endearment"

Charlie Rangel on “Terms of Endearment”

  Congressman Charlie Rangel took to the airwaves after the Midterm Elections to malign the Tea Party.

  At least this time Congressman Charlie Rangel (D-NY 13th) did not label Tea Party types as terrorists this time.

But purporting that “White Cracker” is a term of endearment was as laughable as considering the 84 year old, 22…

Mun Q&A

Funniest shit at Tech!!!!!!!

This morning I had my Mgt. Science's test and the most hilarious thing occurred. This dude sat next to my friend was prepared to take the test using a pen. The test was on a scantron lol. 10 minutes into the test, he stands up and starts ripping the test up and proceeds to drink from a water-bottle. I assume that the contents was not water lol. Afterward he walks up the stair and opens the door, all while stumbling, and just before taking the first step down another set of stair, he falls over. LMFAOOOOOO

While all of this was occurring, my professor had the best poker face ever lol. He just went back to his papers lmfao!!!!!!!

Recently, while I was speaking to a group of high school students, I was asked why I only seemed to be concerned about white racism towards people of color, and not racism from people of color towards whites. We had been discussing racial slurs, and several white students wanted to know why I wasn’t as critical of blacks for using terms like “honky” or “cracker,” as I was of whites for using “nigger.” Although such an issue may seem trivial in the larger scheme of things, the challenge posed by the students was important, and allowed a dialogue about the essence of what racism is and how it operates.

On the one hand, of course, such slurs are quite obviously offensive and ought not be used. That said, I pointed out that even the mention of “honky” and “cracker” had elicited laughter, and not only from the black students in attendance, but also from other whites. The words are so silly, so juvenile, that they hardly qualify as racial slurs at all, let alone slurs on a par with those that have been historically deployed against people of color.

The lack of symmetry between a word like honky and a slur such as “nigger” was made readily apparent in an old Saturday Night Live skit with Chevy Chase and Richard Pryor, in which Chase and Pryor face one another and trade racial epithets. Chase calls Pryor a “porch monkey.” Pryor responds with “honky.” Chase ups the ante with “jungle bunny.” Pryor, unable to counter with a more vicious slur, responds with “honky, honky.” Chase then trumps all previous slurs with “nigger,” to which Pryor responds, “dead honky.” The line elicits laughs, but also makes clear that when it comes to racial verbiage, people of color are limited in the repertoire of slurs they can use against whites, and even the ones of which they can avail themselves sound more comic than hateful. The impact of hearing anti-black slurs in the skit was of a magnitude unparalleled by hearing Pryor say “honky” over and over.

As a white person, I always saw the terms honky or cracker as proof of how much more potent white racism was than any variation practiced by the black or brown. When a group of people has little or no power over you, they don’t get to define the terms of your existence, they can’t limit your opportunities, and you needn’t worry much about the use of a slur to describe you, since, in all likelihood, the slur is as far as it’s going to go. What are they going to do next: deny you a bank loan? Yeah, right. So whereas “nigger” is a term used by whites to dehumanize blacks, to “put them in their place” if you will, the same cannot be said of honky; after all, you can’t put white people in their place when they own the place to begin with...
