dawg you've already been outted a troll several pages back. Heck I was the one of the first posters attacking your claims.....

:stopitslime:


You don't really want me to go back and count the amount of people who agree with OP vs Under-educated / close minded individuals....


But keep on trolling......
I'm not trolling at all, I've got a clear position supported by an argument that has gone unrefuted. The questions still remain, what makes cracker a racist slur? If the term didnt originate as a racial slur, then when did it become one. You can't intelligently answer the question, yet you have the gall to call someone else uneducated. Your best response is "bu....bu...a lot of other people think that it's a slur too", yet you have the audacity to call me close minded. It's funny.

why would someone be "scared" to use the word if it wasn't an insult?

you can't have it both ways. if the word's not an insult, then it carries no weight
Can you read? I was clearly responding to posters saying that whites only allow a black person to call them a cracker if they feel that the black person is some non threatening buffoon. Obviously those 2 posters would be scared to call whites crackers in their presence fearing some kind of retaliation.

You haven't broken anything down. You didn't say anything worth a damn in that post. What makes a black person using the term cracker automatically negative? Why doesn't the context in which it is used matter? We didn't create the term to belittle whites. We dont have a history of using that term to reinforce white inferiority. You have to explain these dumbass statements.

yeah i get that, you also said that you have your own definition of racial slur that is different than the dictionary

so to straighten it out, its not a racial slur according to your definition of racial slurI've done no such thing, you're lying. We all seem to agree that a racial slur is a deragatory term used to disparage an entire race. The question is how does cracker fit that definition? The term cracker did not originate as a disparaging term for all whites, so when did it become one?

so your definition of racial slur is that it has to be used to discriminate and oppress people not just insult people, which is fine, you have the right to create your own vocabularyIt's obvious that you need to build these strawmen to respond to because you're incapable of responding to what I'm actually saying. Again I don't have my own definition for racial slur, I'm simply saying that the term cracker doesn't fit the definition. Lots of terms are insulting, but not every insulting term is a racial slur. The term cracker in and of itself does not insult the entire white race.

i think insulting and oppressing people is just a matter of a dOegree, when you get use to insulting people as a group, it take a hop skip and a jump, some power and bad leaders to turn that insult into oppression, so thats why i say its just a matter of degreeYet, you can't explain what's insulting about the term cracker. I could explain why terms like ******, chink, ect insults entire races of people. You can't explain how/why cracker insults the white race.

its true that except in rare instance black people do not have the power to actually oppress whites, and so calling white people cracker is not the same thing as ******, but again that is a matter of a degreeNo, it's not a matter of degree. It's not the same thing period.

but either way, instead of arguing about semantics, what i am saying is that cracker is an insult toward white people, it always has been, thats all i am sayingI know that's what you're saying. I'm asking for an above 80 IQ explanation for why youve taken this position. As long as you insist upon responding I'll continue to ask the same questions. How does cracker insult white people and whats the insult?


but lets have it your way, lets say a racial slur has to be insulting AND oppressive, are you saying that cracker is not an insult toward whites?Wow, did you just pick on this? I've only said that cracker is not a racial slur about 100 times. You're going on and on in trying to debate some strawman argument that I havent made so I'll stop here. I haven't made up my own definition for what a racial slur is, I'm simply saying that cracker doesn't fit the definition. You can't explain how it fits the definition, your only explanation is that it's a racial slur because it's a racial slur. The funny part is that you and some others think that that's an intelligent argument.
so are their fears unwarranted?
Yes. Like ive said, this is the 1st place I've ever seen people make a big deal out of the term cracker. I've never heard people trying to equate cracker with ****** and other racial slurs until I started posting on message boards.

have you considered that maybe you're wrong, or at least in the minority?

Yes, I've pondered the idea that cracker is a racist slur and that prompted me to research the term. After reading up on its origin and comparing it to other racial slurs, I've come to the conclusion that it's not. I don't care about being in te minority because this thread is evidence that the average person isn't that intelligent.

i think debating the exact definition of a racial slur is a waste of time, its semantics, so im giving you the point, lets agree for the sake of argument that cracker is not a racial slur

you, in addition, are saying that cracker is not an insult toward white people? is that what you are saying?

Yes, I researched the term to learn more about the origin and history of it. If I felt as if the term cracker itself was an insult toward white people then I'd view it as a racial slur. I've been repeating the same thing over and over yet you still don't comprehend. I've posed the same questions over and over yet you still haven't intelligently answered any of them. If you were to ask me how ****** is a slur for the black race I'd be able to explain why. A person from china would be able to explain why chink is racist, so on and so on. Since you've decide to throw te cape on for white people, why can't you explain why cracker is an insult to the white race? It is because it is doesn't fly.
