but it's also ridiculous to equate cracker and the n word.
No it isn't. People say those words with the intention of insulting the person. That's all that matters.

When black people call you a cracker , they are saying it with the intention of being as insulting as the word "n*****" is to them.

Speaking of racist protesters, a few New Black Panther members were busted doing straw purchases of firearms and attempting to get pipe bombs which they planned to set off during the protest.

I have a feeling they were trying to run a false flag, to try and make this a Kent State situation, rather than bombing the cops.

Prime Time Money makes a good point, imo. It isn't just a matter of whether someone is offended by these terms. The intent of the person uttering racial slurs needs to be considered, too.

Imo, racism is racism. Hatred is hatred. That component of the equation is present regardless of whether anybody is offended by the actual words.

Its ridiculous for anyone to give so much power to a word. No matter which word we're talking about. I have buttons that can be pushed but only by someone who knows me.
