Reverse Racism: (non gundumb edition)

[theworldismine13]

I didn't ask you to post made up definitions. I asked you to point to the time in history when the term became a racial slur. Instead of posting made up definitions from sites like wiktionary and urban dictionary.com, why dont you do some actual reading? Post the history and origin of the term.

breh, where exactly are you from? it seems you are from ghana or nigeria and you are an expert on those cultures http://www.the-coli.com/636490-post95.html are you an expert in african cultures and american cutlures?

why would anybody need a history lesson or dictionary to break down whether is a slur or not? the way you grew up using it tells you whether its a slur or not, not a dictionary or history book, you would only need a history book or dictionary if you didnt grow up here

and its complete bs that in the real world cracker is simply a slang, that is a pure fabrication

That's exactly what I said. Like i said, you seem ti have trouble comprehending simple stuff. I use cracker as slang because I feel like it.

i dont think you understand what i meant, what i meant is that i would respect it if you said its becuase you feel like it and stop there at "becuase i feel like it"

but you dont stop there you continue with it, saying this...

It's not a racist term it's slang. Its only offensive if it's used in an offensive way. White people who are offended by that term are overly sensitive.

thats why i cant respect you, why would it matter whether its racist or not? i thought you just said you say it because you feel like it, the fact that you have to resort to convoluted logic and history books shows that you aint about that life

but actually even this clown logic is ok as long as its consistent, to be consistent you have to agree with this other clown MeachTheMonster that its ok for a white person to say nikka as long as they are not being racist

the history of the word is besides the point. it's all about your intent when using the word. but that can get tricky when your intent is different from how the majority uses it. it can lead to misunderstandings

No one gave a damn about racial slurs pre CAC. No one cared about the liberal use of nikka by blacks and non blacks alike. But nooooooow that white people are a target we all need to grow up.

CAC is a stand in for white person. If I say white person instead of CAC the context and intent of my message will remain the same. CAC is just quicker to type.

The history of the word is not besides the point. You are right in saying that it's all about the intent, not the word itself. The term cracker in and of itself is not racist. Do you think that the word caucasoid a racial slur?

this is why i cant respect you, why would it matter whether its racist or not? i thought you just said you say it because you feel like it, the fact that you have to resort to convoluted logic and history books shows that you aint about that life

Youre an idiot, your respect doesn't matter to me whatsoever. Who cares whether the term is racist or not? We do, that's what we are debating you nitwit. They're saying that cracker is a racist term and I'm saying that it's not. There's nothing convoluted about my logic, my argument is perfectly logical.

Gravity is an ignorant troll that spends his time calling people names over semantics and childish nonsense because he can't or won't engage in serious discussion.

Ignore him.

let's look at these three statements:

"you're a white person"

"you're a caucasian"

"you're a cracker"

do you really believe that all three of those have the same connotation?

ultimately my opinion on this is that people should be treated as individuals. all of these labels fail at some point. I'm not saying I'm immune to prejudices, but I strive to be better and recognize when my thinking is flawed. also I think when you invest so much importance into race and racial identity, you just end up like Gundam

Man white people not offended by the word "cracker". I hear them dudes say it themselves in a joking manner from time to time. Only time it's really perceived in this light is in regard to discussions such as this to give a leg up in the argument(s) I feel. I can understand however, how it could be viewed insultingly.

But to say that black people are the most racist.... I won't even entertain an argument that goofy.

Ignore him.

That's the word I was thinking of.

Ayo quit arguing wit these CAC's. Their just not used to getting the short end of the stick. On here bytching bout the word "cac" knowing it's plenty of white boys on here talmbout "nikka this" "nikka that". fukk that if you white on the coli your a CAC. And in ain't mad and i dont hate you. It just is what it is.

Cac cac cac cac cac!!!!!!!

The debate is about whether or not cracker is a racist slur. The term may hurt certain white people's feelings or whatever, but that doesn't make it a racist slur. There has never been a time in history where whites have been subjected to racism. You(if you're white) don't know what it feels like to be subjected to real racism. Being called a cracker by a black man or any man/woman of color is not a reminder of a history of oppression. It's not a reminder of the institution of black supremacy. Cracker does not equate to ****** or any other real racial slur. I'm simply not going to give you that. Seriously, this thread is an insult. I have no sympathy for any white person who's offended by being called a cracker on a hiphop website. You're only offended because being called a cracker is a reminder that you're white and you don't want to carry that responsibility.

 

[daze23]

it has nothing to do with me being personally offended. for me it's about the kind of world I want to live in, and what I see as the means to that ends

Well stop dreaming about the world that you want to live in and start dealing with the world that you're living in.

Calling white people CACs is not gonna effect any change

The reactionary angle is just an excuse to justifying exercising one's prejudices

And to boot, its pretty lazy

Cant care too much about racism if all you do is post "CAC" on a primarily black message board. Lol

Black people might not be able to be "racist" if we define racism strictly as a race based power structure (though I find said definitions to be pretty... "convenient")... but we can definitely be prejudiced/bigots, which when embraced collectively or across a whole culture can be pretty counter productive + destructive in its own right.

It doesn't matter if white people are offended by it or not.

We have a social don't in this country, and it's do not use racial slurs.

Does it matter if people are offended by it or not? no. The act in itself is wrong. Have some principles.

i dont care that my respect doesnt matter to you, i was simply clearing up what i meant when i said that i can respect somebody saying they call somebody cac because they feel like it and leave it at that

your explanation of why cracker is not a racist is convoluted and you are writing essays and giving history lectures about it which is quite corny

and you never answered the question, where exactly are you from and where did you grow up, where is this place in the real world where cracker is not a racial slur? are you talking abut ghana when you say people dont think cracker is slur? do you mean just the coli/sohh?

Cac cac cac cac cac!!!!!!!

the problem is that you already exposed yourself as some ol russel simmons-its-ok-for-white-people-to-say-nikka type negro

and that's the basic problem with the cac epidemic, people fronting like they are pro black but once you start questioning, the wackness behind it gets exposed

here is a hint, a black person doesnt need any reason to say cracker, black people have endured so much racism from white people that waking up in the morning and the sky being blue is enough reason to call white people crackers

if you need to write an essay about why its ok to say cac, you're a cornball

but the reason why people like you say cracker is cuz you think its cute, you saying cac is like jo jo simmons rapping, im not saying its wrong, its just corny and its not pro black
