Should black people be allowed to say "cracker"?

Question

What is the difference between a black guy calling a white guy a "cracker" or "honky"...and a white guy calling a black guy "******" or "spade"

by the way, nobody living today has a damn thing to do with slavery.

Answer 1

Yes, for at least 200 years --- the amount of time they were in slavery.
You reap what you sow, white people.

Answer 2

I'm white...they can call me cracker, all day, all night.....
It doesn't mean a thing to me.
My people were brought here as slaves by the English.
We were raped, beaten, murdered, and made to fight in wars, not our own, all the usual for life as slaves....
as far as I know nobody was calling us anything ...maybe
Irish dogs, or Scottish pigs. There were signs on buildings
telling us to keep out. Long after slavery was over.
People have to let go of the past, if they want to get ahead
in this country. Hate and living in the past doesn't help anyone.

Answer 3

I don't like all the name callings but black people have to use the word cracker they need to put them in their chili or what ever And I don't think I would like to hear anybody say the word "honkey" out loud if you have ever heard George Jefferson say you would hate to hear it too. I think people should be called by their birth names regardsless of the race.and as for the word ****** if it's in the dictionary say it use it and if you ever play cards dont you call the game spades.

Answer 4

First of all, has anyone ever called you a "cracker"? I've never heard any black person call anyone a cracker, except on TV from the pre-80s. Is this really a problem you're focused on?

Secondly, do you believe that "cracker" somehow inspires an equal level of deeply painful emotion and hatred that the N word does?

Answer 5

Allowed by who? In the states you have freedom of speech and so does Canada with the exception of spreading hatred is against the law.Do I think black people should say cracker?No. Should others say the n word? No .

Answer 6

luckily I don't hear anyone calling a white guy "cracker". Maybe I am naive and live under a rock :) But, I don't think there is a difference. No one should use derogatory words.

Answer 7

If its good enough for a black, to call whites cracker etc.. why not the same for a cracker, to call a him a spade? and hope like hell he's got a good sense of humour?..

Answer 8

as a results of fact the initiating of time, one team has picked on yet another team. while i became becoming up, the Polish human beings hated the Irish people who hated the Italian human beings and so on and so on. You do would desire to renowned that black human beings in this us of a have been somewhat discrimated against and nevertheless are in some components. we are dealing with a transition factor ideal now, the place it little question seems to you that it somewhat is lopsided in want of African human beings. 10 years from now it somewhat is going to be yet another team of folk. stay your existence as upright as you may and take a check out to not concentration on one race or yet another. there will be so lots extra substantial issues to concentration on as you get a sprint older.

Answer 9

No they shouldn't because i ****** called one of my friends a honky and he called him a ****** and they faught. My friend one the fight then the ****** sued him.
And know this stuip thing won't let me say ****** but it will say honky.

Answer 10

There is no difference. I think more whites should react as violently to cracker as blacks do to n or spade.

Answer 11

I eat crackers with my soup so, I think I should be able to ask for them .
