Congressman Charlie Rangel (D-NY) made some colorful remarks in a Daily Beast interview released Friday. Most notably, he called Tea Partiers and other Republicans “white crackers.”

House Republicans? Have done more damage to American competitiveness than al Qaeda ever could. “What is happening is sabotage. Terrorists couldn’t do a better job than the Republicans are doing.”
The Tea Party? Defeat them the same way segregation was beaten. “It is the same group we faced in the South with those white crackers and the dogs and the police.

The term “cracker” has been all over the news lately. In the midst of the George Zimmerman trial, for instance, Trayvon Martin’s friend Rachel Jeantel called the defendant a “creepy ass cracker” during her testimony. Despite Jeantel’s equivocations, those familiar with the word know that it has always referred to poor whites. Of course it’s a racial slur.

This begs the question — why is it deemed acceptable for a sitting congressman to use the word? No one in the mainstream media seems to care as Rangel says it nonchalantly in an on-the-record interview.
