To Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-NY), "white cracker" isn't derogatory -- it's a "term of endearment."

The longtime congressman ruffled some feathers last year when he told the Daily Beast that members of the tea party were the same group of "white crackers" who tried to fight desegregation in the South during the Civil Rights movement.

In a Monday interview with HuffPost Live, Rangel expressed surprise that those comments received backlash.

"I thought that was a term of endearment, you know," Rangel said. "[The tea party is] so proud of their heritage and all the things they believe in."

Charlie needs to start hanging with some white friends.....

[BunnySlippers]

LIAR!

[E. Pluribus Unum]

N-word! N-word! N-word!

[RJS1950]

Charlie needs to be stripped of his citizenship and then shipped off to whatever african craphole making him a real african.

It is a term of endearment just the same as 'race baiting grifter' is.

[Cowboy Bob]

What a coincidence! I use the "N-word" as a term of endearment!

Prediction: After two more years of Obama, we will no longer have to say "N-word." It will become socially acceptable to say the complete word. And even shout it, if you wish!

[Beave Meister]

Wait a second.....are you telling me Charlie would lie and use ignorance as an excuse. Well, now I’ve heard everything.

[struggle]

Is “tax evader” also a term of endearment?

Yeah, Chuckles, me too.

And I also thought that 'Pants-saggin' Crack-dealin' Momma-is-a-ho Welfare-collectin' Gang-bangin' Buck-N*gger' was a term of endearment, too.

[Bryanw92]

I don’t care what Rangel calls me for the same reason that I don’t worry about what my dog sees me doing. They’re both just dogs.

[Da Coyote]

The Ranglecretin cannot think.

Not now.

Not then.

Not ever.

If possible, he is the one person whose intelligence is below the Pelosi-thing and even the Obamadork.

[PoloSec]

Terms of endearment: feral ——er, so many terms of endearment available, maybe now we can all get along!

[tirednvirginia]

Redskin fans also think their team name is a term of endearment.

[JudyinCanada]

It is - it endears his followers to him whenever he says it.

[Theoria]

I grew up in a cracker house in N. florida. To some it might be a slur, but not for me.

[al baby]

Its is a term of endearment he just can’t use it its only for white people use only

[HiTech RedNeck]

Why, some of Charlie’s best friends are “white crackers” — what, would he diss them?

[MrB]

Yeah, somehow, anti-white racial “slurs” just aren’t offensive to me.

[TLI]

calling the Tea Party “white crackers.” ”I thought that was a term of endearment,”

back atcha "snowball"

.

[longfellow]

Actually I believe him. Because he’s that fn stupid.
