Re: Why is it okay to say the word "cracker"?
i hate it when black people call each other "nigga"..... i think it is completely disrespectful to their ancestors.
i wouldnt use a word to call a white friend of mine if i dont want a non-white person to use it.
i dont think anyone should be able to "own" words.
jmo
it will be nice if these words would just cease to exist.

I totally agree.
I also hate the b!tch word. No, women, you do not OWN it, it is a demeaning word, do not use it fondly toward one another!

i agree...
and i had a serious convo as i said before wih a co-worker who is a good friend and just sooo happens to be AA.
She tried to say that AA have changed the meaning of the word N****...
NOW it is used with the meaning MY MAN, MY BROTHA...MY FRIEND..
well i said...if that is true..
that the meaning has truly changed..
THEN EVERYONE CAN USE THE WORD!
Because the "meaning" has in fact changed..
she saw my point

Re: Why is it okay to say the word "cracker"?
Yes, both words are bad.
I don't know why one is "accepted" and one is not but I think what Jess said may be part of the reason.

Well, I am a black woman and I totally disagree with your co-worker about the meaning. The usage of the word is intolerable to me whether you are using it in a friendly or brotherly way. It is very demeaning and disgusting. I am so happy that no one in family use that word at all. Neither the young or old in my family tolerate the word. I for one do not listen to rap music because of the way the word is used so loosely. Growing up I could not buy most rap albums because of the nonsense that comes out of the rappers mouth and my parents did not like alot of the words that are used including the word N****.
