cracker

A word white people tend to bitch about all the time because they really do think that a word that was come up with by black slaves who owned nothing and had no control over their lives is somehow socially equivalent to a word come up with by rich white men to belittle a race that they'd already basically ground to dust. I really don't understand why so many white people get bent out of shape every time they find out that they can't do something a black person can. Apparently a couple generations of lessened racism has been enough to bring black people right back up to the level of the whites who've had centuries of ancestors to help bring them to where they are.

I'm a white male who's never experienced any meaningful prejudice, but I still think the word cracker might be hurtful to anyone.
