I was called a crakcer by this wacked out African American at a convenient store and it upset me, because I've never been called that before. She was totally wacked out and was screaming at people. She was threatening to call the police on the poor cashier (who was also African American) because she didn't pay her the right amount. I got up in line and the cashier told me that she had no right to call me that and she doesn't understand people like her. She (the African American cashier) was so kind and wonderful that I thanked her for being a calming voice.
I just don't get why cracker, whitey and other words like that aren't offensive like the "n" word? It's as hurtful as the words Imus used, IMHO.
