Why you lockin' my $hit?

This thread was about nine pages. Now it's more.

I've been called a cracker before. It made me laugh.

I can't recall ever being called one before, but I have witnessed a very heated screaming match in which it was being used in such a manner that one would be 100% convinced it was very offensive. But I had to laugh.

yes, and if its said with the intent of offending someone, then its has the same meaning behind it as calling someone the n word. Im not going to argue this point, we can just agree to disagree i guess.

Well then shut the fuck up about it.

Have you not heard? It was my understanding everyone had heard!?

:facepalm:

Sorry, I was trying to add content.

Oh, you did. That was a hard swing like a cop with a baton during the Birmingham Campaign!

Pretty sure you should be banned for this.

Im not outraged, i just thought it was retarded to substitute one racial slur for another.

I know I quoted you, but I didn't necessarily mean you. There were a ton of people who actually were outraged about it.

I was providing historical content and never mentioned Matt by name (or race).

I promised you that I would warn you before climaxing. It was clearly an accident I never said anything, several times.

If another race calls someone a cracker or peckerwood with the intent of it being an insult then it is no different then the n word.

yes, and if its said with the intent of offending someone, then its has the same meaning behind it as calling someone the n word.

I don't disagree with that, necessarily. However, take what you both just said and then look at how the word was used around here. It was autocorrected from someone using the n word. It wasn't thrown out by someone trying to insult a white person. In fact, it wasn't even actually used by anyone at all, unless you want to call the software/auto correct feature the racist.

There's still a difference here, because the n word has so much impact throughout history that even the use of the word without the conscious intent to insult is still actually insulting to most black people. So again, it's not hypocritical to say or feel like the use of the n word is unacceptable and at the same time feel like a word being autocorrected to the word cracker is fine.

For what it's worth (jack shit, I know), I still think all racial slurs should be outlawed here, but it's not my board, so...

So much off topic. This thread is going make Don more mad than that time the waitress forgot his booster seat.

You're going to be on his short list.

My response was more in line with cracker or peckerwood not being offensive. I understand and agree with what you are saying about the auto correct.

I still disagree to an extent on your second point. I don't use the word so it doesn't really impact me but there is a double standard. If it is offensive it should be offensive for everyone, including black people, which it is obviously not.

It doesn't impact me though. I don't say it, it's not even part of my vocabulary to even slip out.

I haven't made it past this post yet, but...

Is cracker really a racial slur, though?

I've never in my life met or heard of a person who gets offended by the word cracker. But maybe I don't get around enough.
