If you're part of a group that's looked down upon, using a negative term attached to that group yourself is somewhat ironic. If you're not, you're just going to be insulting.
derp derp
Ah, the poor white male. So lacking in incredibly offensive terms for himself that he can use freely. What a horrible situation to be in, to be in an ethnic group that's so socially dominant that you can't seriously be insulted. I feel for you, and me. Certainly, we should rectify this injustice. Ah, these shades of white privilege are so difficult to see through, aren't they?

I wonder if Dixie would be comfortable explaining his use of the Confederate flag to Herman Cain?

I'm just thankful that we don't have any "white niggers" around here. Uh, well, actually, I still don't know what a "white nigger" is. Seems the only one who used the term is a white Democrat former KKK Grand whatever who sat in the US Senate for over 50 years. Nice.
I don't think he needs it explained, and I don't think he would have a problem with it.
"Mr. Cain, do you have a problem with an internet political poster using the confederate flag in their avatar to honor his relatives who were half Indian, and fought/died under that flag?"
Mr Cain: Nope. Next question?
A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

As we are talking about the Civil Rights Movement, I wonder how people are aware of the huge influence of Jews in the struggle for equal rights?
http://www.everydaycitizen.com/2011/...hts_movem.htmlJewish involvement in the civil rights struggle also went deep. It is estimated that thousands of Jewish students made their way to the South during the 1960s, joining efforts being coordinated by a variety of organizations to arrange sit-ins and marches to desegregate transportation and schools and to register voters. One-third to one-half of the Freedom Riders in the summer of 1961 were Jewish and a similar percentage of Jews took part in the Mississippi Freedom Summer in 1964 (during which Goodman, Scherner, and Chaney were murdered). Harder to measure, but clearly affecting thousands of more Jews growing up in this era, was the widespread sympathy Jews felt for the civil rights struggle. Rabbis preached about civil rights from their pulpits. Jewish periodicals carried articles about the justice of the cause. Many of the activists interviewed for this book trace their earliest feelings for social justice to hearing their parents talk about Martin Luther King Jr., and the movement for civil rights as a moral calling. In 1963, Rabbi Joachim Prinz, the president of the American Jewish Congress and a refugee from Nazi Germany, was one of the speakers who addressed 250,000 people at the March on Washington. It was the same stage from which, minutes later, Martin Luther King Jr. would deliver his historic "I Have A Dream" speech. To the extent that one of the great accomplishments of the civil rights movement was making de facto discrimination illegal, the organized Jewish community threw all of its political muscle behind the passage of the era's two most important pieces of civil rights legislation- the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

No proof, just juvenile, off-topic insults.
Poor Failias.
