Depends on context of use. Sorta like if I said "******" or "******", and to whom.
Same goes for "honkey". If used in anger or derisively, it's a racial slur.
As my good old boy Southern Grandfather said as he whipped my ass for calling Mrs. Taylor "that N***** lady" (when I was 11), "****** come in all colors, that there is a black LADY."

Who cares, if someone called me a cracker or a 'Jive-ass honkey", reagrdless of context, I really could not give a crap. I've been called worse.
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?

I did. There are a few examples, of course, but all who said the word in anger were banned. I don't think those who call people crackers in anger are.
Crayola is being incredibly racist by recognizing only ONE 'flesh' color.
Anyways, "cracker" doesn't bother me that much. Everyone I've ever heard use the word used it for comedic effect, so it doesn't really have a bad "feel" to it. On the other hand I've seen many people use the word "n1gger" in the most derogatory ways imaginable. If it explains anything, I live in Louisiana where there are still some vestiges of true racism left.
Hey Lordmutt did you see me post its not that bad? What I said was that it is not really used that much. I certainly don't use it and have objected to all of the racial slurs. stfu

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.

I've defended some whites as well that folks here labeled them too. I just don't get the whole race thing anyway, you would think that in the year 2006 we would have all that behind us but its not.
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.
Wow.. some people don't know what "derogatory" truly is.
By the way, the term "cracker" was created by rich white people to insult poor white people. If you're posting on ATOT you probably aren't poor, so it makes no sense that you'd be so insulted. It's like calling an Asian person "nigg3r" or a Mexican person "Chinaman".

example.
Those crackas get crazy when they hear guitars.
All that dumb nigg*r does is get his welfare check and smoke crack.

So cracking a whip on a slave isn't a bad comment?
I'm not going to even complete my sentence you redneck mofo.
