They're the same word. Saying it a slightly different way doesn't magically make it alright.

It should be judged based on context and intent, not on whether or not we changed a fucking letter in it.

Pretty obviously not the same word as Ive never seen the hard R used in a friendly way. The only innocuous usage of the word would be during historical discussion or in the context of entertainment (e.g. Django Unchained).

To answer your question, it's because it only refers to the person's skin color, which isn't an insult in itself as skin color shouldn't mean you get treated poorly, something black people obviously know. The N-word is directly calling a group of people ignorant, but, again, by definition anyone of any race can be an N word.


Ok so then why the heck do they call each other that then

For one thing, it's a term whose meaning punches up as opposed to down. "Cracker" refers to white slave masters who would crack the whip on black slaves. The N-word implies the subject is subhuman.

So insinuating that someone now is a slave owner is ok just because they're white? Sounds like bullshit to me

I'm just saying that you can in no way act like the two are equivalent.

They're not the same word. The hard R version means an ignorant person. Meaning that a person of any race can be one, by definition. Not sure why black people continue to not point this out to dumb racists and ignore it.


WTF are you on about?

From the earliest usage it was "the term that carries with it all the obloquy and contempt and rejection which whites have inflicted on blacks" [cited in Gowers, 1965, probably Harold R. Isaacs]. But as black African inferiority was at one time a near universal assumption in English-speaking lands, the word in some cases could be used without deliberate insult.
