mackerel snatchin’ ???...Had to look that one up. My research shows that’s a slur for Catholics (something from the 1800’s to do with the fish on Friday thing), and not specifically just for white bread, mayonnaise, honky ass crackers. Funny thing about “whitey” slurs in that they don’t seem to have much effect on white people.
After centuries of having sticks, stones and more thrown at them, Whites understand that while those things can break their bones, words will never hurt them. I think there may be a big cultural difference at work as well: One culture is prone to exhibit violence at the drop of a hat. The second culture takes considerably longer, but will eventually exhibit something for the benefit of the first.
Well a mackerel is a fish
In fact as I recall the term was “mackerel snappers” used mostly as a light-hearted tease of Catholics from non-Catholics usually Episcopalians which we Catholics did and still do refer to as “Catholic-Lite”.
Ya know, I wouldn't mind someone thinking I'm a creepy-assed cracker. The average thug would keep his distance. Too bad Obama's son, No Limit N-, didn't have the presence of mind to do the same with Zimmerman.
"Holy mackerel, Andy!"
I’m reminded of the time when an Indian group protested a college’s mascot name, and suggested that whites would be equally offended if their mascot were to be “The Fighting Whiteys.”
Soon after, sales of T-shirts with “The Fighting Whiteys” went through the roof, and that ended the debate.
It aptly demonstrated the difference between those with healthy brains and professional victims.
