If it's meant to insult white people, it ain't working.
Most people think of saltines when they hear it.

Using the word "cracker" is the same as using the words; ******, ****, wop, jew, hodgi (used for muslims) or any other deragatory invective.
However, in most cases it is usually the context that defines the meaning. For instance, many black youth use the word "*****" as a way of referring to and greeting one another. This word is assumed by them to be exclusive to them. Or using the words Pimp or Playa, If women tell each other that a guy is a playa, they are usually meaning to stay away, whjen guys use it, it is used to congratulate and build up.

Because it's used as a derogatory name for someone that is caucasian referring to their skin color. Personally I've been called a "cracker" and it doesn't bother me...I am white.

I love crackers too. I don't think a cracker is offensive. Who decides "cracker" is offensive? Some racist bigot?
But someone once told me my attic window was open. I left cracker crumbs in my bed.

Someone just made it up like the word "f*cker" or as*hole, but you see, they're just words, it's just that no one really uses cracker so you probably dont get as offended as if someone called you a d*ickhead or sh*tface. U feel me?

wow! I had no idea. Seriously. Me, when I call someone "crackers", I am saying they are insane, nuts, cracked in the head. I won't be doing that anymore.
