    of course they do!
    They wash it down with some grape soda and then knock boots with a morbidly obese white woman.

      Just an idea: perhaps he's calling him cornBRED, thereby implying he was raised on a farm = backwards in his opinion.

          You're right. Cornbred really isn't a racial slur, it implies that the person was raised on a farm (i.e. country).

            No it's not at least not in this movie. He called him cornbread because he was black plain and simple. It is a stereotype just like that black guys love fried chicken. The entire movie is filled with little racist comments all around because thats how the original movies were.

              Pick a random word in the dictionary, call a black person that word, and they will think you are being racist.

                i mistook a peice of lemon cake for corn bread one time and was very disappointed, thats the day learned never to judge a person by the color of their skin.

                  Are you saying that a lot of people who look black, arent black? What on earth does cake have to do with judg[ing] a person by the color of their skin?

                      Hell, I'm Irish, don't drink, only way I like potatoes is as fries or chips, and I LOVE fried chicken, and waffles provided there's Log Cabin maple syrup. Sometimes a lot of people like certain foodscause they're GOOD.

                        It's because, in the South, blacks loved cornbread. So it become sorta an insult. Not Northern black people, as they love McDonald's and rice and etc.
                        McDonald's would be for Northern blacks
                        Cornbread and fried chicken would be Southern blacks

                          So looger got called a Nazi he didn't get mad or call the news to report it.
                          The white guy got called a Cracker and he wasn't offended and could care less. He did call the local news station and report it. Jesus Christ I've been called names before and I could care less! My grandfather was a Cajun cook and his nickname for me was cornbread and I wasnt offended. This world we live in looks for any reason to cry Racist. I mean look at post about making James Bond Black. Then someone suggested making Shaft White, but that's being racist according to some people? How theF uck is it ok for Bond to be Black but Shaft can't be White? Where's the fairness in that??
                          How about if the mini series Roots gets re-made but using an all White cast??
