    What I've always heard, is that it is refering to the whips the white slaveowners/overseers used to use against their african slaves. "Cracking the whip" to get them to follow directions, that sort of thing. But I don't know how accurate that is.

    Sounds pretty accurate today. Of course Jeff Dunham made that into a joke, using a black puppet.

    "Let me make an analogy." Says the puppet. "I'm like the wine here. And every good wine, needs its cracker. =D"


    Of course, as it would turn out Jeff Dunham is really racist.

    Some people black people only really take offense of being called African, they dont like it, so wouldn't that be implying that being African is a bad thing? There saying mostly that Africans are dirty like it's bad to be one. I find that white people when put into the minds of many blacks that they should not be African, i find that to be Racist that People of African descent are ashamed to be African and would just like the term Black.

    ??? i'm not a shame to be called an african. Black and white people thinks that it is real funny to call me Shoebak because my skin is darker and that sometimes I slur. Whoo hoo. Then they think that I come from a different country and when I say that I was born in Chicago, they say that I either came from Zimbabwe or Chicago, Africa. That was annoying in grade school but I'm not annoyed at it though. I don't find why people are afraid of their origins. My mommy and grandmommy knows my great grandmommmy's race, whcih is Blackfoot Indian and something else.

    Well...not really. His jokes CAN be offensive, but that's pretty much what they are - jokes.

    Some ppl would say there not jokes, that he's really feels that way and is trying to make it seem funny, like he dosnet mean it, lots of ppl do that. I think he's just being funny, rasict jokes seem to be one of the funniest here in America, i've heared so many about Asians, French, Arabs, it's sick kinda if you think about it. No of them are even funny. So even those supposed to be harmless jokes make americans seem more rasict then other places.

    Though I've never visited another country, I would imagine that jokes on racism are very common in a lot of other countries, so I can't see why the telling of them would make Americans seem so much worse.

    Well for one, America is supposed to be a free place where people from all over can come in a have a life instead of being places that have slaves and no freedom, but when they get here, there turned down from jobs, hated beacsue they come from some where else, and treated like pigs. I've seen it first hand before, foreign women are sent over here to become sex slaves(so are women in america but..) just to make money for there family. Does that seem like a free place where dreams come true? no not to me.

    Bad stuff like that happens all over the world- don't point your finger solely at America. And I would argue that the example of sex slaves is actually more common in other areas - (Wikipedia gives examples of such locations as Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. I'm too uninterested to look anywhere else. )

    And that doesn't happen in any other countries? Puh-lease.

    Racism and prejudice are everywhere- they just might not manifest themselves in the same way.

    Anyone who thinks just coming to America will make all their dreams come true is an idiot.

    I'm not trying to excuse America- I'm aware there is a problem with racism here. But I don't think America is the most racist country, and if anyone wants to condemn America for racist behavior, they should also take a good look at the rest of the world.

    Hell, just watch the movie Taken (Very good btw). It is about a guy who's daughter was kidnapped in France and was being sold as a sex slave. Of course the guy saves her before it was too late, but still.....

    i'm not saying it's just america but they way we put are place to be the best, it's not right for us to just act like we will accept anybody but we really dont, i mean people kill ppls dreams everyday, but why act fake to all these people? America looks down on everybody and and is just dirty, it might not really be rasict but part of it is, alot of it is.
