"Nigger" is a term blacks had to answer to when they were slaves, a term that was meant to be used as a way to make them less of a person, to make them feel less for who they were, and even though it's been a long time since slavery has ended its STILL a term that hurts them deeply because it reminds them of what they as a people had to go through years ago.

anybody who tries to compare "Cracker" to "Nigger" is completely fucked up!!

And don't say "Its a term of endearment."  It is used just as often for a best friend as it is for someone the speaker flatout hates.

If 'nigger' is so demeaning to blacks, why do so many black use it in reference to each other?

And don't say "Its a term of endearment."  It is used just as often for a best friend as it is for someone the speaker flatout hates.

I thought wetbacks only refereed to illegal mexicans, in which case I didn't realize the military accept illegal immigrants.

If I'm wrong.. coolio.

They don't use "nigger", they use "nigga". Different spelling, different meaning. That's just how it is.

Any previously unknown white person talking to a black person who says that word will get at least a different impression compared to if a previously unknown black person is talking to another black person it is okay. Regardless of spelling.

This really does seem like a silly topic. I have an idea; how about we don't use either word?
