Charlie Rangel (D - NY) thinks "white cra*ker" is a "term of endearment"

[werepossum]

LOL!! Charlie Rangel is responsible for racism!!!

NEWS FLASH! Once Charlie dies, racism is over!

That whooshing sound over your head -

Nah, forget it. No way you could hear something THAT far over your head.

How come it blanks out word for black man but white cracker is acceptable?

Um, to keep you from getting yourself banned?

Agreed, but I'll defend him. While Rangel is a joke now, he once was an authentic American hero - at a time when America did not much value him because of his skin color. As Congresscritters go, at least he once was the real deal, even if he's now slipped to the bottom of even that barrel. And besides, as a racial slur "cracker" is a joke.

My favorite Rangel faux pas was when he recently accused Republicans of acting as though they had won the Civil War.

That's what's so sad about him. I used to like him alot, and he did not really play the race card back then.

Yep. He's an authentic American hero, but not even a hero can stay in D.C. that long without becoming corrupt.

I'm not even sure how much is corruption and how much is him just going senile.
