Did you really make a thread about racism while using a racist slur? You sir are a bigot, a racist, and should be ashamed of yourself. Take your hate elsewhere.
Oh please. I don't consider cracker to be anything other than a descriptive term regarding backass country rednecks whose heads are firmly planted up their ass.
This woman qualifies.
Bull****. Cracker is a racist term and those who use it are racists. It is no different that people who use the word nigger to describe "ignorant" black people. You are using it to describe white people. You are a racist. The rules apply universally. That is equality.
Yes, because we white folks are so universally repressed. Save your righteous indignation for someone who values your opinion. I disagree about its meaning.
Do you not believe in equality? Equality would mean that if making racial slurs against one race is wrong, then making a racial slur against any race is wrong. Pretty simple concept there. That is not my opinion that is a fact.

So there are not shades of grey, especially when it is used intraracially?If "cracker" isn't a racial slur then neither is "coon" or "beaner."

I was born and raised in Florida. We called ourselves Florida crackers. There is even a type of house called a Florida cracker house.
Florida cracker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaThe term is used as a proud or jocular self-description. Since the huge influx of new residents into Florida from the northern parts of the United States and from Mexico and Latin America in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, the term "Florida Cracker" is used informally by some Floridians to indicate that their families have lived in the state for many generations. It is considered a source of pride to be descended from "frontier people who did not just live but flourished in a time before air conditioning, mosquito repellent, and screens."[4][5]

Vitreol to combat vitreol is still, in the end, vitreol.
Furthermore, go read the OP. Do you think he meant the term cracker in a loving way?

I already told you that it was not meant about race. But you can't untwist your panties long enough to listen. I suggest you look up the word in the dictionary.
I meant this a a derogatory term to describe an intolerant backass hick. Which is precisely what she is. Deal with it.
