I dont know anyone who says cracker. None of my racei at least because they dont want contriversy. maybe where u are but not in pittsburgh
The Hispanics say it more than the Blacks around here at least.

But they usually call rednecks crackers - I'm friends with the Blacks around here

The Hip-Hop Nation channel?  Did you honestly expect anything else?

In general, when a black person uses it, it can be taken as a more endearing term (unless if used offensively, when it would be taken as such).  Whites, however, cannot usually get away with using the term at all unless if they're very close with a black friend who might take it in the more endearing form (although this is rather uncommon).  There is a reason why you don't see people like Eminem use the word "nigger" in his songs.

Always
mama16advice Posted at 9:36 am on Nov. 20, 2008
honestly its not ok. its a word with a surpressing history behind it. But in the world we live in now, anything goes but everything has rules behind it.
smartlake Posted at 10:19 pm on Nov. 18, 2008
Well, if rappers use it liberally, so will I.
firestar Posted at 6:31 pm on Nov. 15, 2008
CRACKER!!!!

Like everything else when the other person gave you the obvious permission I mean if you gave somebody  the permission to call= you a jackheaded dickwad then they can. Otherwise you got a right to be pissed at them.

If blacks give each other the permission to call  themselves names then they can. If they didn't give it you then you can't.

Nothing hard to get about that.
