Do you think us white folk should us cracker the same way as black peeps us the N word?

It wouldn’t matter because no word used against white people towards white people will ever pack quite the same power and modern historical context as a word like the N word. It is a totally incomparable thing. Not even remotely close honestly.

"Race" is unimportant to me so I feel no need to have a nicname for my white friends. I'll just call them by their names. The reason blacks started using the N word is to appropriate the language of contempt and destroy its power.

I grew up near Atlanta before the Braves moved there. The minor league baseball team was the Atlanta Crackers, so I wanted to grow up to be a Cracker.

As a white I don't get it and I have no opinion

I don’t play that way. If they want to use that name then let them. That word is a word meaning useless person. That’s what was and still is a ugly word. Not for what the definition is, but what it stands for. I never used it.

That doesn't work quite well in Europe. Most people wouldn't understand the connotation. I barely do.

Not particularly, but many white folks already [b]do[/b] use the word in a similar way. Some people from from Florida, Georgia and a few other southern states, proudly refer to themselves as "'_______' crackers", and use in an affectionate sort of way. Many white people use it a clearly insulting way, towards those who reside in the South.

There are many reasons why I do not think the two words can be compared, as far as their power to hurt and attempt to demean.

Ever wonder why people don't bother doing that?

I don’t even understand where you’re coming from with that. Are you looking for somebody to say a racist word? I don’t understand where you’re coming from

Cracker

I prefer "hillbilly."

Could I have a translation please.......?

Some do. And both words come from the same source—wealthy whites.
Incidentally, black people with self-respect [b]don’t [/b] use the N word, it’s low class.
