Would you laugh or be offended?

We're are not about to monitor this thread all night to make sure it doesn't get nasty.

Some people here have complained about it a while ago in previous threads. They consider it an insult.

I'd say that today it's meant to be an insult, but a lot of people take it lightly since it sounds stupid.

Yeah, but if the person who called you a cracker was a young white middle class male and you were the same.

I laugh. When you get upset at an insult, you merely give the insulter what he wants.
 

Since I'm white, I would laugh because I can get in my paid off car and drive to my non ghetto household and eat food that isn't mac and chez.

I could care less if someone called me a cracker, beloved patriot, whitey, or whatever.

maybe it was affectionate....like "n!gga" is used among blacks.

you should be calling each other "cracka".

I'd shrug it off and laugh at him. Not with him. At him.

Then no, it shouldn't be that offensive, IMO.
