Cracker

jimmay

Been checkin out some of Plies stuff and I came across the song "100 years". In it he says the word cracker at least 30 times. I'm not sure what I think of this. What does everyone else think? I mean isn't it kind of like a white dude sayin n*gger? Personally I know the difference between sayin n*gga and n*gger but it's still not politically correct or socially acceptable for a white guy to say either.

I also notice this story here

where you can see the same that this is a no no word for black people to use.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cracker_%28pejorative%29 gives a good explanation of the origins if 'Cracker'.

Cracker has no history behind it, whereas the N word has years of oppression behind it. Irish people have nothing to do with it. Except for maybe the ulster-scots from the English plantation who emigrated to mainly south of America.
