Cracker and honkey just don't work as slurs. The reason (I think) is because black people just made them up because they wanted an equivalent of "******" for themselves. However, that doesn't work. It's nowhere near as effective as the word "******" because it does not have the history of racism and slavery behind it. You can't just make up a slur because you want to, it requires a social history that can't just be instigated like that.

There a lot of threads where n!gga, n!gger, and wigger are spoken of. But, cracker is hardly ever used. And by the way folks get away with using those words a lot. Typically they'll post the infamous Chris Rock line or use the same old tired line of if blacks use it why can't I to slip in their little jabs and get away with it. So give it a rest

There's a difference between someone joking around and saying "n**** stole my bike" and "STFU n*****". Do you have any links of people saying n***** in anger?

Ok I'll give you that one . You know being a lifetime resident, which I am, I would just for once like to have a week or two where race threads don't happen. No Nbombs or any of its variations, no wiggers or any other words like it, no black people are this or that, or asians are eating neighborhood cats, or any of the junk. I know it will never happen but I wish. And irregardless what some of these knuckleheads think, I am going to speak mind, plain and simple.

Eh, I dunno. Those threads (especially that Asian neighbor one) are quite funny, but if you're going to be upset about those then you have to be upset about everytime someone jokes about a German being a Nazi or everytime some guy claims that cops pull him over because he's a minority.

Hey guys I don't post here much but from what I understand, "cracker" is meant to refer to those cracking a whip i.e. a slave owner.
Myself being white, being called cracker gives me a feeling of authority and I do not understand how one could be offended by the term.

I never thought of it that way, but if that's what cracker really means then I agree, it's really not that bad at all.

Sorry, but I don't have an idiot and your sentence appears to be incomplete.
