@KiritoSAOHero, I agree. If you look at the origin of the word, it came from when white people would 'crack' whips when driving slaves, thus the slaves called them crackers. Seems almost like it is racist back to the black people and I don't know why they keep trying to use it. (Sorry for the long post)
-
@fizzbitch, conversely the "n word" harkens back to blacks being called that due to the Niger river as well as Nigeria. Funny how both are racist but one is somehow culturally acceptable. *enter slavery/oppression rhetoric to explain the hypocrisy*
-
@fizzbitch, aw crap, I thought it was called cracker because non-whites made fun of whites because their skin looked like the color of saltines. No joke. I'm dead serious.
-
@Paul The Llama, That actually makes sense
-
@Captain Cockmonster, interesting, I was always lead to believe the N word was just slang for "Negro" as in the latin word for black.
-
@DefinitelyNotARaptor, even if that were true it still wouldn't make it any more offensive than any other derogatory term for someone based on race so I don't care much for the double standard that we have in this country.
-
@KiritoSAOHero, why are only crackers staying at the Ritz?
-
@lakewood20, Cuz that's where fashion sits.
-
@fizzbitch, So, it's racist to refer to all blacks as slaves even though they aren't, but it's not racist to refer to all whites as slavers even though they aren't? Hmm, time to reexamine your logic.
-
@KiritoSAOHero, is there a black cracker?
-
@Captain Cockmonster, incorrect man. The n word is derived from negro/negre/noir meaning black. It funny though because the term ended up being used against the Irish and other nationalities that were considered to be lower in class or standing. History is weird man
-
@asstronaut, good stuff, history is indeed weird.
-
There's only two kinds of people I hate. Blacks and racists (I don't actually mean this please don't kill me)
-
@Shots Fired, so you dont hate racists?
-
@Shots Fired, if you don't mean it, don't say it.
-
@KiritoSAOHero, it's meant to be kinda funny in an ironic way
-
@Captain Britain, it's cool, I just really don't like racist jokes even if they are meant as jokes, because I have a friend who is black and he gets hurt by all the "jokes" that are told even if nobody is really trying to be racist. They can still hurt.
-

"Freeze Cracka!" -Police

Fun fact: the term cracker/cracka/etc. comes from slavery days when the slaves called the slave owners and/or the man with the whip cracker i.e. The sound the whip made on their skin... The more you know
-
......they forgot the wine.....
-
Why are people always making everything sound racist?
-
Not sure if care... She's hot
-
Or.....?

Who eats crackers with tomatoes? *top left corner*
Ok "White Cracker" is a horrible racist term... Like its a bad racist term, as in "why would anybody be offended by that"
