Is the word cracker actually a racist slur and do you think I was being racist?
I just lost a friendship cause I just told them I called someone a cracker in an argument. They told me I was being racist by saying it to them. I said that they were acting like cracker is a serious slur like the n word, and he then gotten even more mad at me saying it was. He said that I couldn’t say the word cracker just like how he can’t say the n word (I’m black and he’s white). I obviously said that the n word has more depth than the word cracker and that he was just overreacting, but he ended the friendship saying he didn’t wanna argue with a dumbass like me and be friends with a racist. Was I being racist? I just think he was overreacting but was he not?
the word “cracker” has literally no meaning behind it, i see it as something like saying stupid or idiot. the reason the n word is so offensive is because black people have gone through hundreds of years of oppression, targeted murder, rape and you name it. It has history behind it which is why its so offensive. But cracker? absolutely no histo...... reply
