Cracker is what they used to describe the "cracking of the whips" the white people made..

or w/e the fuck it was they used to crack.

yeah, but honestly.....i dont know....call me a cracker n i jut makes me laugh...

its liek cracker is such a watered down word...

derrogatory how, cracker is a type of food if im correct.....fuck whit, white people jus want a reason to call blacks racist, cracker isnt derrogatory, thats like me sayin i wanna make fun of white people so i call them milk, u gon get offended if i called u milk?

Thats not how the word cracker started tho
and I think if I called you a brownie you might say wtf

first off i myself dont agree with the white marches and shit lol cuz ya'll right we dont need to...but we should still be able ta show our pride if we have any thats all im saying

and yes cracker CAN be racist...any word directed towards your race used in vein is racist obviously...now if u just say it then its not really racist but i dunno if its really right. now if i was ta call u the n word while i was pissed at you..would that or would that not be racist??? and if i just said it but didnt mean anything by it would that still be alright??? and it doesnt matter where the fuck the name came from...u obviously know that "cracker" doesnt just mean a food u eat. when u ask why its so wrong because of where cracker came from then i might well say the n word came from the country black people came from so whats so wrong wit that?

You only think it doesn't mean shit because it's not white people. I don't know if you've figured that out though.

not true, there were plent of white slaves in europe and im sure some were forced to come to america when their masters did.

No, seriously, the average IQ of RV is 70. It has to be.

for real, then wouldn't that kinda be like callin dude master and shit

You have GOT to be kidding me.
"White people just want a reason to call blacks racist..."
Yeah, cause us white people all REALLY want that right? REALLY?
That is one of the single dumbest things I've ever heard in my life period.
It's not like we go around making things up, just so that we can call someone racist...for kicks.
Wow. I really hope that you just rephrased that wrong.

and to whoever posted that big explanation/arguement or whatever i just wanna say racism in minorities DO exist it just aint as powerful as the racism in a majority so it dont really have any or as much effect.

how can you say the average IQ is 70? Read the thread you fuck head, its a complete array of different opions and expressions, just cuz people dont agree with what you think doesn't mean they are dipshits......

fuck out a here....

This isn't even something about opinions, it's just common sense.

Hey silly, I can count much higher than that.

no.....common sense is sayin the sky is blue...

this topic a complex array on how people should feel about a very touchy subject...

you can't complain because regardless of what you get called the playing field is tilted in your favor

I think the issue about a shitty education isn't getting into college itself, but actually doing well enough to stay in college. People who went to schools that did less to prepare the students for college will be behind the other college students who went to better schools. Thanks to affirmative action, just about every college has spots for the less privileged and underrepresented ethnicities. Of course if one graduated in the middle of their class in their ghetto high school, they will have a hard time getting accepted anywhere. On the other hand, if they are in the top 5%, and especially if they are the valedictorian, they will have a lot better chance since when the admissions officer looks at the transcript, where you stand in your class shows them how you did because everyone from the school is on an equal footing. After grades, the next issue of importance would be SATs and then extracurricular activities. While they won't be able to compete with the kid whose parents paid hundreds of dollars for SAT tutoring, you can still prepare by taking practice tests and memorizing word lists for the verbal sections. As for extracurricular activies... join clubs, play sports, and volunteer. Basically, the more you set yourself apart from the other people, you better chance you will have to get accepted.

And if your parents can't afford to pay for college and your high school resume looks good, apply to Emory University here in ATL. Starting this fall, if your parents make less than $50k a year, they will give you grants to cover all tuition, room, and board. If they make less than $100k, the college will cover all costs after $15k in loans. That is a $180k education for literally free.

why does strobe have to be the first person 2 make sense here?

*applies to Emory University*

but uh yea, what you said is true, but its like some kids dont have the motivation to do things like that, and its not their fault, because its the enviroment they were brought up in, taught that you have to do what you can to survive, physically and financially, and sometimes you have to take that to extreme measures, and ltizzle, give ME a good explanation of why white people get offended when they get called cracker

Nuff Said Young Sin

Out this bitch

Word u know what ur talking about my black brother. White people cause nothing but trouble, and God's first man was black.

Nuff Said

---^ shut the fuck up ....racist bullshit like that is what makes tension continue...fuckin idiot

Wow, this is so fucking ridiculous it is unbelievable.

I have a variety of opinions on racism....

Firstly, when I ask black people why they can call a white dude cracker but a white guy can't call a black dude nigger it just makes me laugh the response I get. "What is so hurtful about calling you a cracker?" The truth is, nothing. I doubt any white person would be offended by that statement because we are smart enough to realise that it means nothing.
But, let me ask you this, "What is so hurtful about me calling you a nigger?" I'll tell you what, the overall fucking past generations of black people drilling it into your head that it is a derrogatory statement when coming from a white man. So, in hindsight you could say that the black community was just looking for some sympathy on that one. And that they were just trying to create a way to make the white man appear as a cruel, discriminatory individual.

And, all this fucking arguments on slavery and how the black man had it so fucking bad shackled up and sold from white man to white man. Yes, that was fucking wrong. Slavery in general is wrong. Why did the white man do it? Because he fucking could. The white man had the numbers, the power, the resources.
If the role was reversed and the black man was the majority population and had the power that the white man had back then.... you can bet he would fucking enslave the white man. Why? Because he fucking could.

You go on about how the black race has had it so bad. What the fuck? Did the white race have everything gifted to them? No, they fucking didn't. They fucking worked for it and earned it. They built their success for themselves. Why the fuck should they share it with everyone else regardless of colour, race, religion or whatever. If you want something in life, EARN IT!!

The problem is, everyone is always looking to blame someone else.

If a black guy gets picked last at soccer, its automatically because the other dudes are racist. Of course, it has nothing to do with the fact that the black guy might just suck at the sport. And vice versa if the white guy is picked last, the other guys are racist. Man, everyone should just shut the fuck up, stop looking for people to blame and fucking earn shit on their own rights without excuses.

U should be cool with a brother like me yo, fuck them trailer trash crackas like Datrus.

....u n me are completely cool now.....Fuck DTH...

i agree with everything you say even the thing about how white people didn't have things given to them..but to an extent..during post slavery times, including today. its obvious that white people had a much better CHANCE at getting ahead in life. yes black people shouldn't just sit and pity and cry about what the white man has done. but at the same time the life of a black person and the life of a white person isn't on an even playing ground. the times are getting better..way better...but it still isn't equal. and yes i'm black and i belive that my people along with myself just have to work harder to get where we want to be.

Black power nigga !

absolutely. the way I see it is the white people had to work for what they got, but then they got all fucking power mad and developed an unsquashable ego that has them still believing to this day that they are the dominant race. power corrupts, and thats what it did when the white man obtained it. so yeah, its because of that reason alone that the black race has a somewhat tougher task to get ahead than the white race. the white race was first to real supreme power, and I personally think it will be that way when we are all dead. unless the black race manages to somehow over throw the governments run by white people, the white race will always deem itself superior because it pretty much always has and is still sat atop the pile with all the power in the world.

fuck it though, i'm going to spraypaint myself green and then be put in the real minority group with the ninja turtles, captain planet and the incredible hulk.

heres some things im confused abuot, the one dude said we celebrate lincon and washington....shouldnt black be celebrating lincon more so then mlk, cuz i mean after all lincon freed you and gave mlk a chance to get a damn education to do what he did....

and another thing, when the hell did i become a WHITE person.....im irish, and austrian....im not a fuckin color im an enithicity....and honestly i deserve the same rights as other enithicities do......and reading eairler about the whole we were slave two bit.....you know before they ventured to africa and used black people, "white" people were slaves too, you know they wern't made slaves just cuz they were black, it was cuz they werent as economically advanced as the british culture who then concured them and used them as slaves.....the black skin color was just propaganda used to help ease the unethical idea of owning another human being......so yea thats my 2 cents on that comment. n i agree with enygma....its the past im sorry i had an asshole great great grandfather......but deal with it. you have the opportunity to live your life just as normally as i live mine, so take it and stop complaining.....as for ghettos and you cant get out.....there are "white" people who cant get out too.....its not a color thing its a poor thing and i wish you the best of luck

I numbered your arguments so I could son them in numerical order. I'm just that badass.

1. When you call me a nigger, it is way different than you calling me you a cracker. If I call you a cracker, it's not because I don't like you because you're white, it's because you're a white man who doesn't like me because I'm black. Do you see the difference? It's like you don't like me because a black guy raped your mom, and I don't like you because YOU raped my mom. An admittedly horrible analogy, but effective nonetheless.

2. The white man had black people enslaved because they genuinely believed that negros were inferior to white people and that a black man being subordinate to whites was his "natural and normal condition". That's coming from the Vice President of the Confederate States of America. So basically, they didn't just say "Hey umm, anyone want free labor?", they thought that by having blacks as slaves, they were only allowing natural circumstances to take place.

Anyways, placing hypothetical situations about who would have enslaved who are inconsequential, we are debating over actual facts about what did happen, and what happened here, not in a parallel universe where we all walk in each others shoes through history.

3. Okay, I have witnessed for myself racism and racial profiling through the law enforcement and judicial systems that you haven't. I've been racially profiled and have dealt with racism my whole life. Now, I am telling you, from EXPERIENCE, that it is WAY harder for a black person to get to the same spot as a white person. Don't give me some bullshit about how popular and rich blacky so-and-so celebrity is, I would bet they had to work twice or three times as hard to get to that spot as a white person would to get to the same spot. Somehow, the mere fact that a few do end up leaking through to the other side is enough, but is it fair that black have to try so much harder? Really?

I left holes for you to exploit so I can come back and finish you off. Go.

1. You call me a cracker because I'm a white man who doesn't like blacks. The same shit would apply to the term "nigger". Don't presume to think you know me. Not all white people are the same. What's not to say that I call you a nigger because you are a black man who doesn't like whites. And the reason you don't like whites, is because you deem them as racist towards your colour of skin. That could go back and forth for endless years so it ultimately is a pointless argument. Which is the point I was trying to make. What is so racist about the term "nigger" or "cracker". Nothing. It was what you have been led to believe. Its like if your past generations of black people got it into your head that calling you a fucking plum was racist, then you would believe it. Its all about perception of the word.


2. The Vice President of the Confederate States of America said that shit you just informed me of. Well, who cares? Is he the grand populous opinion. No he fucking isn't. That is the words of one person, not the entire world. How the fuck can one man presume to believe he can voice the reasons behind the actions of so many people? The fact is there has been white slaves, there has been black slaves. It has nothing to do with colour. It has to do with who was superior. The white race was superior back then, and they deemed the black race inferior not because of colour, but because of their living conditions, their way of life was just inferior. The white race just seized upon the black races downtrodden lives and capitalised upon it. They saw an opportunity to attain something that would make their lives easier, and they took it. Just like everyone else would, if their is a choice between the hard way or the easy way, its human nature to take the easy way.


3. Now, if you want to talk about racial profiling.... well, that is a piss poor argument if I've ever seen one. I've seen black people, white people, chinese people... all sorts of people suffer racial profiling. You act like its only fucking blacks that get it. You talk about all this shit when you walk into a store and get followed around. Hell, I'm white and that shit has happened to me numerous times. Its not the fact that you're black, its just the way a person perceives you. If they think you look suspicious, they will follow you. You, just like I said are basically looking for an excuse, a reason behind it and the first one that always comes to mind is racial profiling. And don't even get me started on the whole celebrity status shit... you look at music.. hip hop/rap in particular. The so-called "black people's music". That shit could be considered racist right there. Don't even think for a second that they had it tough, fuck man.... 90% of the rap/hip hop industry is fucking black people.

The fact is, as I've pointed out... you are looking for a fucking excuse. I'll admit that the black people have a somewhat tougher task in regards to certain apsects of life. You on the other hand act like everything is fucking harder for the black race and you automatically blame it on racism. That is bullshit. There are things that are harder for a white man, and things that are harder for a black man. That is life. The population is more white than it is black. That is fact. That is the reason why we are considered the dominant race. We are more in number, we are more in power because of our number. Fucking deal with it and stop bitching and making excuses.

You made it too easy. :(

But seriously, I have to go to sleep now so I'll be back on later to merk shit.

Every person who has posted in here is an idiot.

As long as were giving ANYBODY a month, no matter what month itll be racist. Because your STILL doing it cause of there color. Something like ethnicity, like a irish month, or a hispanic month, would be so different. Cause its a culture, not a color. You get a black month from your skin.

So by bitchin cause you "Get the shorter month" your trying to make yourself dominant.
Just live your life and do your thing, ignore your peers, and yes, your life will be better off.



1. Thats not what cracker means in ANY WAY, idiot

2. Black people had THEMSELVES enslaved in Africa before we bought them, sorry.

3. Its not "Racial" its a stereotype, if you didnt look like an idiot, you wouldnt be profiled

haha i feel ya in all man...but all i can say is.....welcome to america

1. Because the main reason nigger was developed was as a racially derogatory term towards blacks, for being black. Cracker was developed as a retort against being called a nigger or against any white person being racist. It's just that simple. Just because you don't want a word to mean something, doesn't mean it doesn't. You've been told by past generations that using curse words were bad (fuck, shit, bitch, ass) and that's what they became, they are not just any other word. I hope you can understand that.

2. One can believe he represented it because he was voted for by the people, the people who followed him fought and died in huge numbers for the cause by which he held the basis of their country to be. Notice how when the grand populous doesn't agree with the leader, they speak up and react against it (i.e. Bush) not die by the thousands every day? And yes, it was based upon color because it was still only about color years later, you know that whole segregation thing? Yeah, blacks only had inferior living conditions because the whites gave it to them, and even if they were on the same level, they'd be considered inferior. That is the basis of racism.

3. Of course I know blacks aren't the only ones, minorities as a whole are the ones who suffer. Times where you have been profiled it was because you were the minority for whatever reason. Would you honestly say to me that if a black guy and a white guy walked into the same store, wearing the same clothes, and behaving with the same demeanor they would get treated equally? Nope. That goes for any minority though, but HERE, we're talking about racial minorities and they injustices we suffer.

You know why hip-hop has mostly black people as the face of the culture? Because it was exploited to the point where all anyone wants to hear hip-hop talk about is violence. Don't even try telling me I'm wrong. Now, if violence is what's going to sell, who the fuck do the WHITE people running the industry put on the covers of the albums? The people they consider to be more believably violent............BLACK PEOPLE. Big fuckin surprise I know.

Now don't try to judge me and say I blame everything on racism, I blame things racism has caused on racism. If a white guy gets promoted before me, I don't think it's racist. If a white guy gets promoted before me and the manager throws mildly racist jokes at me all the time, then it's racism. There is a difference. Jokes about race being part of a large array of jokes isn't racist, but when someone only tells racist jokes you have to realize that there is obviously some inherent racism. Shit like that is why I notice more than others. You think I see everything as racism because I choose to notice racist tendencies and how it affects everyday life while you completely ignore it and think everything is equal. I practice racial conscientiousness not racial sensitivity.

This is from wikipedia:
"According to the 1911 edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica, "cracker" is a term of contempt for the "poor" or "mean whites," particularly of Georgia and Florida."

Now, to a black person, who is a mean white? A racist one. STFU.

2. I said the reason white's had black's enslaved. Africans who were enslaved usually lost a war to an opposing tribe, it had nothing to do with racism, and by that I mean they didn't say "Let's go take over the inferior tribe", they waged war and the loser was enslaved.

3. A stereotype........of blacks. Amazingly, that concerns race. Sorry to burst your bubble.

fuck i've seen this thread so many times

i really love black chicks....
