Sorry, but the white man's dictionary is not the end all be all as far as I'm concerned. Besides, I don't see it being defined as a racial slur
http://m.dictionary.com/definition/Cracker/?linkId=ibc5yn

I liketo think for myself and in real terms. I don't need a dictionary to tell me what a racial slur is. If you don't understand why it's important to distinguish between white people being called crackers and blacks and other non whites being subjected to institutional discrimination than you're an idiot who doesn't want to acknowledge the difference. People like you want to act like you're not racist and for equality but deep down you want to perpetuate the status quo. You wouldn't lift a finger to fight for real change and true equality. This is all about people hurting your feelings by calling you a cracker.

Lol @ me being white.

And this post is LITERALLY what I am talking about. The "white man's" definition isn't convenient to your beliefs, so you dismiss it. Thats the hallmark of closed mindedness.

Point is cracker is open to many different interpretations and definitions. ****** is not.

You are right racism is not only limited to the group in power. But it is limited by hate and feelings of superiority. Out of context the word cracker doesn't envoke these feelings. Yes it can be used in conjunction with hateful rhetoric, but just hearing the word cracker does make you think of anything else other than "white person". Not "dirty rotten ignorant less than human savage white person" just "white person"
You dont think certain people who call whites "crackers" don't call them that because they hate them?

U guys kill me with these convenient redefinitions.

"Youre fired"
"I do not accept the white man's definition of fired, the only fire I have is the fire in my heart, I am not leaving this job"

Yes I'm sure there are some people who hate white people and call them crackers. but those people hate white folks no matter what and say worse things to and about white people than just calling them cracker. But like i said just the mere mention of the word cracker does not invoke the feelings of hate and discrimination that the word ****** does. There just no comparison.

One more time

Cracker= white person
******= ignorant, savage, less than human.

Apples and oranges.

Such as?

Are any of these contexts in the presence of black people?

Uh, yeah. Like if a bunch of people were talking on some internet forum about this historical meaning of the word ******, and the majority of those people were black then yeah... it would be fine for them to use it... :what:

True. And sometimes it's a racial slur to describe whites. It was in the wiki article I listed earlier, and that's the definition I'm referring to. You have to be pretty naive to think people don't use it in that manner today, or people only use to synonymous with "white person".

I think You added the disparaging and insulting part.:comeon: but it still says SOMETIMES. ****** isn't a sometimes type of word it is definate no questions or different interpretations ****** is ******.

So what?!?! The point is cracker can be used disparagingly to refer to whites. Sometimes it's used to describe a tasty treat. You can't be this dumb.

And actually, sometimes ****** isn't used as a slur either. Sometimes it's slang to mean homie.

I'm talking about in the definition of the word referring to white people it still says it is SOMETIMES disparaging and insulting.

The definition of ****** never changes. The use and intentions behind it does but the definition and the history of the word never changes. Some people may use it as interchangeable with homie, but it doesn't change the word.

the link's right there

Any word or term can be turned into a racial slur if used in a racist context. I'm simply saying that the word itself isn't a racial slur. The word itself is worn with a sense of pride by some white people. It's all about the context in which it is used. You all want to say that anytime a person uses the term cracker in reference to whites that they're automatically hurling a racial slur, and that's just not true.
