The only claim I'm making in this post is that this wikipedia article exists and that it contains text, Dom.
In his 2004 book XXX-Communicated: A Rebel Without a Shul, Luke Ford wrote about a conversation with Goldstein, in which Ford asked Goldstein why Jews were dramatically overrepresented in the porn industry. He answered, "The only reason that Jews are in pornography is that we think that Christ sucks. Catholicism sucks. We don't believe in authoritarianism. Pornography thus becomes a way of defiling Christian culture and, as it penetrates to the very heart of the American mainstream (and is no doubt consumed by those very same WASPs), its subversive character becomes more charged." Ford then asked, "What does it mean to you to be a Jew?" To which Goldstein responded, "It doesn't mean anything. It means that I'm called a kike."
kike, a horrible terrible word that means,
checks notes
....uh, circle. it means circle. God awful thing to be called circle.
To be fair, just as how “kike” means “circle,” “nigger” really just means “black,” “gook,” “chink,” and “ching chong” are essentially the racial slur equivalent of doing a bad imitation of someone’s accent, and “jap” is literally just a shortening of “Japanese,” but if I say any of those, you can assume I’m expressing a bit more contempt than the literal translation implies. Ironically, the (false, I think?) etymology of “cracker” as “person cracking a whip” would actually make it the worst racial slur under this standard, because it’s the only one I know that is based on misplaced blame.
Reacting to insults towards one’s identity and in-group with anger is probably a healthy self-defense thing, frankly. If whites did that sort of thing more, they’d probably be better off.
Edit: important to note, though, that the institutional power of that anger should probably be limited to personal choice—“he called me a nigger, so I’m not going to be friends with him.” If your righteous anger about being called a mean name results in a person being debanked and fired, or in you beating him to death and getting a relatively light sentence because you were “provoked,” maybe the guy using the racial slur had a point.
Even more amusing about the term "cracker" is that it's actually a much older term that modern blacks have misused and appropriated.
that's it. so often people misunderstand that term. the same is true of redneck. I am both and proud of it.
