Anyone else sick of people using "cracker" on the forums in a derogatory manner and getting away with it?

[dxkj]

For a while I really didn't care, people would use it joking around, or lightly, but when people started using it as a slur of sorts, or when pissed at someone and talking down to them and using it as a white label, its getting annoying.

I don't see the difference between that and any other racial slur, except that people seem to get away with it, while other racial slurs are condemned as racism.

I like saltines.

I personally don't care, sure I'm white but I fail to see how it's offensive.. Only thing that would tick me off is if it were used repetitively etc.

I'm not offended by it, since I'm not some PC-brainwashed fool. But I do see a problem with the fact that everyone seems to be able to play the sensitivity card except for white people. I mean, stop crying already and act like an adult.

There's nothing lamer than some bitch with an inferiority complex constantly trying to prove to the world that he's a victim.

They do mean the same thing, the only difference is that black people call each other that as a term of endearment for some udderly retarded reason.

Real white people don't care about being called a cracker. We enjoy being called crackers. Call me a cracka ass cracker and it'll probby just put me in the mood for some crackers and peanut butter.

I seriously think there needs to be some better racial slurs for white people. "Whitey", "Cracker", "WASP".. they're all too lame. We need a cool slur.

Well, there is "redneck", "hick", "white trash", etc. but they target specific segments.

The white race is so uber-superior that it's unpossible to have racial slurs. White>* :roll:
