Cracker Pride
This business of being the White Oppressor is not nearly as much fun as it sounds like it might be.
For one thing, you have to field so many complaints, now that the, um, oppressed classes have learned to read and gotten economic power. (I'm told that in Howard County, MD the White Oppressor is economically in third place, behind African-Americans and Asians.)
There's no real sexual adventure left, since everyone seems to be fucking everyone else these days, literally as well as figuratively.
And with all that, a Cracker still has to demonstrate his superiority almost daily, by not going-off-the-deep-end and throttling someone who has made a smartassed remark, such as the time:
- They scrawled "black is back" in the dust on my car. Police would have laughed if I'd reported it as a hate crime.
- Young fellow tries to run me down in the street in front of my own house, then calls me a "fuck-assed white bitch."
- Another young fellow, when I asked him not to piss right in the street in front of my house, calls me a "hick," as one of his buddies waves a pistol in my direction. Police threaten to arrest me when I file a complaint; never bother to pursue the guys in spite of having a good description including automobile license plate.
And yet I have to consider myself fortunate. An overweight old fellow named Lovell Wheeler told his neighbors that it looks to him like the USA i headed for a race-war. (Something that has been said more eloquently by any number of broadcast and print pundits.) For his trouble, he is arrested on a misdemeanor charge, thrown in jail without bail, and held in solitary confinement for several months "for the protection of the general prison population."
Whereas in contrast, uttering the word nigger, or even using the perfectly acceptable adjective/noun pairing "you people," can be used as a legitimate defense against battery, mayhem and murder, under the "fighting words" doctrine.
It's good to know we still have the power (according to the "oppressed"), although most of the time, it sure doesn't seem like it...

Maryland as a state has become ultra liberal and politically correct to the
point of absurdity. I lament the fact that there is a bigger interest in
not hurting anyone's feelings than in making this a greater state to live.
