Okay... fine. If you have the right so do I! 2007-04-10 08:52:26 - By: Dan
When in Rome... I figure while we are all running around exercising our new found right to get offended by every little thing I would go ahead and jump on the bandwagon.
Since 1893 people have been partaking of a snack of caramel, peanuts, and pop-corn that carries a racial slur as a name: "Cracker Jack." Today, after over 100 years this insult and belittling of European Americans is allowed to continue and I have had enough.
I hereby call for a public apology from the people who have been responsible for this travesty for the last century. Since the original creators are probably long since dead their family members, who had no control over the situation, will have to apologize for the crimes of their forefathers. I also want formal public apologies from Borden and Frito-lay. This should happen on either the Rush Limbaugh radio program or Savage Nation. It can't be glossed over, if they walk away from this unscathed the next guy can. We don't need a product like theirs in the supermarket aisle. Then, after we are satisfied that they have been properly chastised for their behavior, they need to go to sensitivity counseling.
...
Or... we could all grow up and not let every little thing get under our poor sensitive skin... whichever makes for more sensational entertainment.

Your, right. I hereby demand that the product be renamed to "Honky Jacks" ... or "White Trash Jacks".

I feel offended every time I pop one of those savory morsels into my mouth. In a tiny way, I feel like I am eating away at the discrimination.
It's the caramel.. By: Mark On: 2007-04-12 17:04:38.625430
See...I was laughing so hard I forgot the 'i' in hilarious.

Thanks... By: Mark On: 2007-04-13 09:07:31.489757
..for having me! My blog is new, yes. I've started sending out flyers and will have a few radio spots going round the clock to get the word out. The radio ads simply say, "Nappy-headed hos" and then my web address. By the way, your job..wow..how cool is that?!
