In my area you can get shot for saying that unless you are black....

However, I would say that it's not insulting if it's common to say within your circle of friends and everyone is okay with it. It would be insulting to use the word in any other setting though.

Sounds like a dwelling for the culturally enriched.

Well depending on the neighborhood. Fortunately I'm far enough away from the violence. I grew up closer to it but was still far enough away sad

I don't count that or the "er" version as a racial slur. People are way too sensitive about it. neutral

For the most part, not really. I don't take "racial slurs" seriously.

I don't really talk to a lot of people, I'm white but I live in Texas so there are a lot of hispanics/mexicans. I just roll with it if anything I guess lol. People just think because I'm white I'm a redneck and I'm just like you're entitled to your opinion lol, it really makes no difference to me.

So today I got called out on Tumblr by tagging something with the word '*****'- a common greeting my friends and other people in my area (minorities and whites included) use.

So LD, time to analyze this.

Do you think ***** is a racial slur towards black people?

Does connotation matter when using words like ***** and f*****t?

Am I racist for continuing my use of the word ***** so nonchalantly?

Are you a b***h a** *****?


So today I got on Gaia and seen such a stupendous thread about the word "n*gga" being a racial slur (although it's not the actual word "n*gger" it is still a subsequent of the word)

So LD, time to analyze this.

Do you think Cracker is a racial slur towards white people?


Does connotation matter when using words like cracker and honky?

**P.S. Crackers are things everyone eat!


- just giving a demonstration on if it was the other way around -

rofl If someone called me a cracker I would laugh my a** off because we use that as a sarcastic greeting here too.
How can it be a slur or even be racist? I hear and watch rap videos where the black skinned people who pretend to be insulted by the word call each other that and those words.
Maybe they are just stupid. IDK. If you heard me call myself "Bill" (for example) you would probably call me Bill. I call myself ****** or ***** then call me what I told you I am. Just seems common sense right.
In other words, you can't be wrong or racist if you just call people what they say they are and also,
ALSO, THE WORDS YOU CHOSE DO NOT DEFINE YOU AS PERSON.
