Did Tommy make a funny? Oh, you bet:
Tommy Christopher usually thinks EVERYTHING is racist, but apparently "cracker" is perfectly acceptable: http://t.co/8cBBWd0RcP

Christopher, in his infinite wisdom, has decided that when Rachel Jeantel testified that Trayvon Martin had called George Zimmerman a “creepy-ass cracker,” Martin was actually paying Zimmerman a bona fide compliment! It’s not a racial slur, but a “proud nod to [Florida’s] history, and one’s own ancestry.”
Yes, @tommyxtopher, I'm sure Jenteal was referring to the famed Appalachian cowboys of lore. http://t.co/CLJQzm9jvu

Amazing.
"The term is, indeed, a somewhat derogatory term for white people. However, in Florida, the word “cracker” is anything but." Bullshit.
— Sunny (@sunnyright) June 27, 2013
That may be true in the boondocks, but in suburban and urban Florida, a black person calling someone white a "cracker" is still racial.
— Sunny (@sunnyright) June 27, 2013
Anyone buy Christopher's argument that a young black man called a young white man a "cracker" in tribute to Florida's rich cowboy history?
— Sunny (@sunnyright) June 27, 2013
Let's see. It could be the obvious way 99% of people use it, or he could've had a thing for the rich history of Florida's white population.
— Sunny (@sunnyright) June 27, 2013
The "Floridians widely call themselves crackers with pride!" explanation works fine if you think Florida consists only of swampland.
— Sunny (@sunnyright) June 27, 2013
Young black guy calls young white guy "creepy-ass cracker". Christopher assumes it's a tribute to Florida's rich pre-Civil War history.
— Sunny (@sunnyright) June 27, 2013
@jacobperry Much of it. Not "only". Martin and Zimmerman weren't living in the boondocks traveling to and from work on airboats.
— Sunny (@sunnyright) June 27, 2013
Again, parts of Florida that explanation would definitely fly. Very unlikely in suburban area involving black guy calling white guy that.
— Sunny (@sunnyright) June 27, 2013
Tommy, can you hear us? Laughing at you, that is:
@sunnyright "creepy-ass" stems from donkeys that "creep" through the Grand Canyon, in Arizona, near Mexico, heralding Z's Hispanic heritage.

By all means, when I want to understand the meaning and intent of black slang I turn to a tubby pasty white guy like @tommyxtopher.

@JohnEkdahl Tommy sees racism in everything anyone on the right says, but "cracker" is just being misinterpreted lol.
— AG (@AG_Conservative) June 27, 2013
@stackiii @johnekdahl My understanding is that Florida State once considered renaming from Seminoles to Crackers.

Let's not delude ourselves… @tommyxtopher isn't a very bright man.

I always love it when Tommy Christopher decides to be the arbiter of what is & isn't hurtful. Him calling me a cunt? TOTALLY not an insult!
— CatsPolitics (@CatsPolitics) June 27, 2013
@Mediaite @tommyxtopher Possibly the stupidest thing… ever.
— Isaac Morrison (@Thorrison) June 27, 2013
I could keep going, but the one time someone actually uses a racial slur like cracker, @tommyxtopher declares we just don't understand it.
