Why is it okay for a black person to call a Caucasian, a cracker. But,?

Question

it's a big deal if the Caucasian calls them the N word.

It's not affecting me.
I've only been called a cracker once, but I know many people that have been called "cracker" so many times by someone black. Someone I know, called him a N* and guess what? He went to jail and the black person didn't..after he started everything!

Answer 1

because White people have never been oppressed by black people.

Answer 2

Probably because the N word has more history and emotion than cracker does. What's even worse to me is when a black person calls another black person the N word and then jumps all over a white person when they call them the N word. In my opinion The N word is nothing but a word. If they let go of the hype around the word people won't use it. Well not as much anyway. There is always going to be an ignorant person.

Answer 3

I think that both are derogatory comments. Personally I feel that it is just as bad to call a white person a cracker as it is to call a black person the N word. It's not ok be be that way to a person. If it offends you then you should let the person know and ask them how they would feel if you called them the n word.

Answer 4

I don't know where you got that from, but it's not ok for anyone to call anyone else out of there name. I would be very offended if someone called me the "N" word, so i wouldn't call anyone a "cracker" or anything else to that nature. You treat people the way you want to be treated. Thats what i say.

Answer 5

i desire michael g feels plenty extra effective approximately himself for insulting a 12 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous female. won't be able to %. on somebody your very own age? to respond to Stephanie's question, I agree that neither be conscious could be used via human beings in view that the two are derogatory. whether, the N be conscious contains an extremely unhappy and violent history at the back of it, this is why Black all of us is extra well-off to that be conscious than White all of us is comfortable to the time era "cracker".

Answer 6

Both are okay, really. I mean.. it's just that people are so stupid they don't think about what they're saying or thinking themselves. Some may think that it's rude to call someone a ni***r if you're not black, but that's only cuz either they grew up learning it that way or cuz they think they're "superior" or regarded as something different. But they're just f**kin' words! WHO CARES

The fools. The unknowledgeable fools(not unintelligent ones, since intelligence has almost nothing to do with the amount of knowledge one has). They don't really know what they're talking about. Who cares

People may joke around with "oooooooooooooooooo"'s and "omg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" BS!

Happy Holidays:)

Answer 7

cracker is not a slur its an Ebonics word, and the N word means to be ignorant. Also its a possibility that the word was used to be used by white predominant male against them for many of years.

Answer 8

It's not ok, no one ever said it was. Name calling is just name calling, childish and immature. If you are a strong mature person then being called a cracker or a ni**a wont affect you in anyway.

Answer 9

Honestly, it's not okay. If you don't want to be called names you shouldn't be calling other people names. If someone is calling you a cracker, call them out on it, it's not right either.

Answer 10

ive never heard cracker used in a degrading way, the n word has always been used to degrate african americans, expecially back in the slave days, and that is why today it is assumed to be degrating. i mean cracker is just some stupid made up word with no history what so ever... that i know of lol. so thats what i think lol, but i pretty much just made that up haha i dont know lol. but who knows maybe im right =) lol

Answer 11

Its definately not ok to call a white person a cracker. I myself think "cracker" is a terribly stupid racial slur but just the fact that its used to belittle someone is wack. Crackers are delicious :-P
