People consider "cracka" (or "cracker") to be offensive because it identifies people solely based on their race. It's a pejorative term, like saying "What up, *****" to a black person. It's a good idea not to say it.
Some of your friends may not mind you calling them "cracka" because they know you, but a stranger would probably be offended.

"Cracka" is slang spelling for the term "cracker" which is an offensive term applied to a white person. It is taken with the same terms to white people as the "n" word is taken with black people. Whites can say "cracker" to each other just like blacks can say the "n" word to each other and both races don't take it to heart when said in this way. However, if one race uses it against another race, it is considered to be very offensive and racist.

depends how you mean it.. Its like people have been searchign for a derogatory word to describe white people for a while and HOnky wasnt veyr successfull. Its hard to offend someone on the basis of their race when they are in a institutionalized position of power and priviledge based on it... Chris Rock was thinking of inventing a new word..Yaku...but that didnt catch on either...I think cracka is funny but if someone is saying it ful of hatred and wants to beat me down then its less funny.

I LOVE that word! I often address my friends by saying "Wazzup, my cracka!"
Then I start thinking of all the different kinds of crackers I like and that makes me hungry so I go home and eat a whole sleeve of Ritz and I'm happy.
Have a nice day!

We got it all twisted, its not all about the white, black, brown and pink, its all about how you where brought up by your parents and where you live, the ghetto or around the high society. If you were brought up in high society you should know better and if you were brought up in the ghetto then its all good. Live to learn, learn to live, no regrets in our future just our past. We are to civilized to continue hurting ourselves with our ancestors way and how there pride over powered them we are the next generation, lets try to get ahead not fall way behind, we all have suffered in one way or another, stop and think, for us, for our parents, and most importantly for our little brothers & sisters and their children. What are they going to do if we leave them in the same boat our parents left us,,,,SINK ? Lets not fail them, we need to take what ever steps are neccesary to make sure that this horrible past stays there, in our past. We have enough challenges with gangs robbing them of there future and ripping them appart. Life is short these days, before you know it someone is dead, let us all try not to stain our world with more pain, it is unberrible by younger sight, let us all do our fare share and leave a desent mark for all to enjoy, we all deserve it. Now what are we going to do? For one, them, and all.
