There's a lot of black kids who call all white people crackers based on skin color. There are a lot of different groups of white people, just like there are different ethnic groups of brown skinned folks. Black people were fighting some groups for jobs in the cities. Polish people weren't cracking whips back in those days, Irish and Germans didn't come home from work to a house full of slaves. Italians and Russians weren't likely to keep slaves to increase mob productivity. Since when were all white people crackers even in the south? Many couldn't afford to keep slaves, and there were black soldiers in the confederate army. Calling any white person you see a cracker isn't opening doors to a more tolerant world, where did this bullshit come from?
Hollering cracker at some white guy walking while you're with your three friends as you floor it down the road isn't gonna make the past any more wonderful over some shit that was between you and a family who owned a plantation. You can get out of your car and let some guy know how you feel if there really is something you don't like about him.

Get the Compromise mug.The kind of person who's an agnostic is usually the same kind of person to claim to be a person of science when that's convenient, in case anybody questions their religious views. The kind of person to think science answers and satisfies a broad range of questions if god or religion does not, that way they're always a step ahead of anybody who doesn't think science, and claiming to be a person of science makes them look serious at times that being a person of god would not (hence the changing from person of god to agnostic, since no belief was held sacred in the first place).
An agnostic thinks their scientific views and scientist friends make them more credible and qualified to make rules or laws for other people and give them orders or restrictions in daily life than people are to make their own rules and determine their own limits and moderations to live by.

Get the Agnostic mug.Nobody thought the Hornets would make the playoffs after halfway through the season, because nobody had impossible expectations (except one of their opponents, who always has great expectations of everyone about everything, because everything has to be uber competitive enough for her).

Get the Impossible expectations mug.The guy on the news says Kobe was a great guy, then corrects himself and says a great basketball player. If Kobe really raped anybody, he wouldn't be missed the way he is, his family wouldn't miss that kind of guy. Like Mike Tyson, Kobe Bryant is crazy enough to do something that wasn't a good idea, (for Kobe having sex with someone other than his wife wasn't a good idea) but that doesn't make the guy a rapist. No matter who wants to make them look like one, Kobe and Mike Tyson are not rapists, and Michael Jackson is not really a pedophile, they're crazy, weird people, so people offer a lot of misinformation about them, but don't remember them for what they did in life, instead they want people to remember them the way they want them to be remembered, and its bullshit. Everybody seems to think something bad would happen if they said anything different than what the media says about it, so they seem scared to say any of their thoughts about it to anybody, unless their thoughts are the same as what the media says happened.
Kobe Bryant was a great guy, and some people won't apologize to his accusers or to feminists for saying it.

Get the Heart eyes mug.Cities like Charleston, Savannah, and New Orleans (and even Norfolk/Hampton Roads) being port cities tend to have larger intact historic areas and older intact buildings than a lot of the inland cities in the South. A lot of the large commercial areas in the South were built up inland instead of near ports and waterways, though New Orleans and Norfolk have high rise office buildings.
People sometimes try and compare a port city like Charleston to an inland city like Nashville or Atlanta, and tell you one is more like the true South than the other, since some cities have newer buildings, which is bullshit.
