Re: "Thundercracker" is racist term?

I don't know why you all aren't seriously helping this woman. She makes a valid point. What's wrong with you all?!
Think of the children. Thunder can be associated with farting so clearly we are telling our children that farting anytime is acceptable behavior.
Also we must tell grocery stores to remove all Saltines Crackers and Ritz Crackers and anything cracker off shelves. This is an outrage.
While we are at it, I'm offended by Tide. Tides kill people. And lets not forget Beef Jerky and how it offends, or Fruit Loops for insulting crazy people.
Honestly, if this was a legitimate complaint, I'd support it. Since it is not, lady, grow up.

Re: "Thundercracker" is racist term?

My absolute favourite comment on this whole thing is the Ciffjumper one. That was way too funny.

Re: "Thundercracker" is racist term?

Wow that just amazing... I'm surprised her SUPERB parenting skills didn't catch it before they made the purchase.

I'm sure the mother must be cringing every time her son asks for crackers to eat, oh wait he probably calls them biscuits or something... EPIC FAIL

Love the comments though haha

As an oppressed person of white descent, I support this post. Where is your online petition so that I may add my name to it?
