Because cracker isn't a derogatory term. Neither is spic or indian.

Oh well, it's not like we enslaved them and and abused them for hundreds of years.

Yeah, I think you are right

It's highly offensive historically. If you can't respect a word with such a horrible background, then you need to grow up. That word has so much hate, murder, and injustice behind it, it's not even funny.

''N****r'' and ''cracker'' are different. Like FreshCookies said, ''n****r'' has so much violence and hate behind it, it would be incredibly wrong to use it. ''Cracker'' was made by black people, and granted it is a racial term, but it does not have the same backround.

You're leaving?! Hoooray!!!!!

Its because the n word is alot more offensive since white people enslaved blacks and were racist and segregated against them. white people dont have a lot of history with segregation against white people so cracker isnt as offensive

this entry is bad and you should feel bad you white cracker mother fucker

Think about it. We repressed blacks for how long with slavery that they can get away with being proud of their race and hating ours just fine. If I take pride in being white then I'm racist. It's the same way with women. They can be lesbians and be accepted because we didn't allow them to work or vote for a long time. If you are proud of being a woman you are strong but if you're proud to be a dude you're a fucking sexist asshole.

they should be granted special dispensation, we did enslave them for a few centuries, so it's only right that we should not be able to insult them, but they should be able to insult us.
it's payback.

Well, I agree, though my language isn't that... profane. But we're in a society where we are so afraid of offending black people that organizations and websites have to go along with it or else get issues from easily-offended people. And yes, I think this is a major problem D:

well, if blacks enslaved whites, and called them dumb crackers, cracker would be just as offensive methinks

Cracker isn't a problem because lets face it, white people don't really give a flying fuck.
N****r is a whole different story. Movements for racial eguallity didn't happen TOO far back, so the wound is still fresh so to speak. It really hurts to be a minority, having to be treated differently and shit, along with stereotypes being taken too literally.

Hey, sorry for my outburst in your thread. I just got done arguing with someone else and wasn't that calm when I posted :3.

Why do you whine about life not going your way in all your posts?

You're a fucking idiot.

dirty farmer is a bigger idiot than you, dont worry..

You can post n****r when replying to comments. Try it, I dare you

Jamoke is Indian, not black, I think.

I don't agree with how 'n****r' is censored on the bbs being that it's just so easy to get around (n/gger, n*gger*, ni99er, etc) that it's not even worth it. The asterisk key is literally one key above the i key. Really. If someone's going to be racist, they don't need a racial slur to do it.

But, really, n****r holds a much stronger meaning than cracker.

But in all actually, it doesn't matter in the slightest whether or not it's socially acceptable for you to say a word like n****r because it's not as though you're running into day to day situations where you need to use it. The only time I every really find myself needing to say it is when I'm talking about the word itself directly or indirectly.

Indian isn't even a racial slur.

Cracker isn't offensive.

shut up n****r it's not censored.

Well While I do agree with you,and I do understand why your pissed,I dont really think it would be a Great idea to use 'N****r'(Yea I said it,Bitch)openly.Ex:"Hay N****r How ya doing?" or "Uhg,Theres only like, one n****r in this school."(I say that alot,Without the n****r word try to guess who that semi-black person is :3)And yes I am black,well Half-black And I have a Semi-Racist white friend(Hmm)He uses the word 'n****r' more openly in conversations than I ever would.And while I do use racist terms such as "Cracker" and "Fishbelly"(Suprised you with that one,didnt I?)I do think that both a delicous(one of them Deep-Fried)So I conclude this with Its just not right.
With hate,
Jc.

It's called reverse racism and yes, it's a bunch of bull shit.

ah hey cracker

I agree with you. Those fucking black people even call each other n***as and negros but we can't say it. And then when someone says it, they all start yelling that it's so offensive. >:(

^ Oh, i didn't know there was censorship enforced on NG. :O

You're just a hostile little kid with a dumb user name, you contribute nothing to society, and you use up as much oxygen as you can in the process. Just thought you should know, feel free to think about an awesome pwn response for 10 minutes to my 5 second comment, thats 100 percent true.

put this on the fourums youll get analy raped

It's the whole slavery thing.

Alot of people saying that its offensive because we enslaved them are just plain retarded.

Sure, we did. There have also been government officials apologizing countless times because of it. Do you think that when we say the N word, that they are getting angry because of what it means? No, they probably don't even know.

If you look at it from their prospective, they have a right. But if you look at it non-biased, then everyone should just shut the fuck up with racism.

how old are you

In think it's because Jenny went to walmart last Tuesday.,,.,.,.,..,,.................
