I've heard that phrase many times growing up in my neighborhood...every time I heard a parent say that it was because they thought their kids were bothering the person not telling their kids to leave that person alone because they were white. When we want to be racist we'll say something a little more direct like "cracker". And I completely realize there is a double-standard...if a white parent said "leave that black boy alone" I would take that as racist...but people have to understand that although we all speak English blacks and whites historically have grown up in different environments and each have their own way of speaking the language so we can't always draw an equal comparison between blacks and whites with our use of the language.

They shared their burritos with me. Mhmm, burritos. Best burrito I've ever had. This reminds me of the time I went to the movies and the Mexican family behind me brought a whole meal.

Funny how all the splashes come out of your armpits! We have that holiday in Israel too, just after the last day of Passover, but sadly it’s only for kids, not for grownups.
