i agree with lip tho... i'm really tired of the double standard on this shit... i mean... i share the skin color of the people who hundreds of years ago started enslaving people of his skin color...

BUT i am not that person... nor do i share even a remotely similar mind frame... but since it happened it's ok for black people to be racist to me... but the first instance of a white person showing racism, everyone is on him like flies on shit...

if you wanna get technical tho... then black people should be kissing the ass of indian people like they expect us to kiss theirs, since they did after all... start taking indians as slaves far before whites took them as slaves....

sorry if this offends anyone but i'm tired of maybe slipping up and saying something that can be construed as racist, but a black person can make every racial comment in the book (and even some that aren't) at me and no body bats an eye...
Oh no, my comment didn't say it's ok to use cracker as an insult. I was just pointing out WHY cracker is insulting.

If someone calls you a cracker without knowing you, they're calling you a racist who's trying to oppress people by the way of the sword, or in this case a whip. It's an EXTREMELY bigoted comment.

Most people think it comes from crackers that you eat, which barely qualifies as an insult. If cracker was derived from that, then it wouldn't be a bigoted comment.
