I mean the word cracker is JUST AS racist as the wrod nigger right?

And it has the same nasty history of putting an entire race down. And whenver people hear the word cracker the ONLY think they think about is a white guy.

Words to ban

Cracker Barrel
Cream Cracker
Fire Cracker
Ritz Cracker
Florida Cracker Trail

No, it's not racist, it's a name. The same as cracker being a term. Stop overthinking plots, okay? Bye.

Cracker = term.
N-word =/= term.

Ergo, "Box o' Niggers" could be seen as racist.

They are not even close. Look up nigger in a dictionary and it will most likely only have one meaning... Then look up cracker. Also think of the cultural connotation each word has. Cracker is a racial slur and is offensive, but it does not carry the same cultural weight as nigger.

If they can have Ritz Crackers, we can have Negro Beans.

Negro =/= Nigger

try again

and it needs to be used as a noun
