Ku Klux Klan......





Moderator's Note: The video is about a Klan member (probably ex-Klan) that near parodies Klansman efforts to intimidate
a black Gospel Reverened. The reverened was not harmed. The video makes light of evil gone wrong. The Ku Klux Klan are near extinct in
the United States. -JFK

I cannot help but wonder whether you are aware of the meaning of "Cracker" in American slang. See here; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cracker_(pejorative)

JFK it was just because he made himself a fool
I really like the black reverend, he's brilliant we should have more people like him,
I'm not really religious, but just the way he is.. love it

@ Big Galloot, I know, but that's not what I mean..


That's more like it..

(It actually originated a couple years ago in a gaming clan.. everybody had a "breakfast" name.. Cracker.. Croissant.. Boiled Egg.. etc

Actually wikipedia is wrong when it comes to the derogatory use of the name "cracker" in the U.S. Yes , is a derogatory term used to call white people. BUT is not as the website establishes. It comes from "cracking the whip" back in the days of slavery....by calling "cracker" a white person it meant they used their whip on the black slaves, hence the term" cracker" or slave owner. This documented from the oral accounts of slaves and its descendants.

The same goes with the infamous "N" word used to call black people. Originally the slave traders came from either Portugal or Spain.They called the african slaves ,"negros" ,"negro esclavo" or "negro" (spanish for the color black...) When they came to sell their slaves to the english speaking colonies either british or american,the buyers couldn't pronounce the word in spanish ,so instead evolved into the derogatory term used to refer to the african slaves.

I hope this might help anyone....
