The reason white people don't get mad at racial slurs

Go read a book, nikka.
"In The Sensitivity of White People and the Problem of Race in America, I proposed that the term “cracker,” when used in reference to white people, originated when black slaves equated racist bosses with the cracking sound of the whips they wielded. That etymology came to me by way of black friends in whose family lore this story lives.
Recently, a reader challenged my folkloric etymology of “cracker,” leading me to do a little research. I checked Wikipedia and found this etymology. The first couple of theories agree that the sound of a whip is the source of the term. But, as looking things up in Wikipedia is no substitute for “research,” I turned to Nell Irvin Painter‘s remarkable historical account of the creation of the white “race,” The History of White People.
Painter points to an early use of the term “cracker” in reference to European bond servants being shipped abroad in the early 1700s as part of the English effort to punish Irish insurrectionists. This class of servant was considered the dregs of English society, and they and their descendents continued to be regarded as such in North America. So, according to Painter, “cracker” may originally have been a term used for white slaves."

You are not doing it right. Call them Edomites, colonizers, or small hats. Then watch their color change

I agree but they are starting to lean into it more and now the whole “everyone can be racist.” narrative Takes the sting out a little.
Yall are mentally weak af (or just dumb af). Talking about calling them crackers don’t affect them 
. Calling them one for sure works them up. They are literally crackers…salty, fragile, and of zero substance. The problem is yall don’t use it enough to give it substance. Yet yall become rocket scientists arguing the justification of the word nikka. They got 100 slurs for yo black ass but yall can barely come up with 3.

no white person has ever been lynched after being called a "honkey". I mean, why would they care about a slur?
