nigger isnt worse than cracker, they are both derogatory terms to identify a person of a specific race. Only reason its the "N word" and cracker is because people got butthurt about using the "N word"
what about the people who didnt have and/or werent involved with slaves? just becuase my ansestors had slaves long ago doesnt mean i should get blamed for it today. what am i suposed to do about it, go back in time and change it? both words are offensive and personally neither should be used, period.
The funny thing is that people always think of the black slaves being the main slaves, the Irish were some of the first slaves and were often treated worse than the black slaves.
The term cracker is what slaves would call their masters because they would "crack the wip on them", where as the n word is a term meant to say black people are a lesser race. N word is worse
its like a white person saying a joke or saying of their kind but if other race joke about them they'll be offended. Same goes to another race. thats why only black people can call "n word" they claim it..
I feel like 'cracker' is worse because it was designed specifically as a derogatory term. 'nigger' isn't as bad because it's just lazy people saying 'negro' that somehow turned into a derogatory term.
Personally, I think the only people who should be allowed to complain are the people it mentions. If black people are OK with being called 'nigger', so be it. Call them that, but be careful about hateful insinuations. Use it as a friendly *endearing* term. If white people are OK with being crackers, good. Cracker them up, but remember, no hate. I'm Chinese, and I call myself the Chinese Chinkadink. I encourage the use of racism around me because it helps people get used to such language (that's a lie, I just really don't care. And I like making people uncomfortable).
tl;dr
not targeted? shut the fuck up.
