"Cracker" is just as bad along with "white boy" and so on if slung by a Black person against a white person unless the 2 people involved are close friends who bust on each other but, have each other's back IF things hit the fan.

Reminds of the time I was called a ******* **** by a group of ******s while walking home from school in back in the day.

Cry me a river and get over it. Obviously this father gave his kids everything they need to be a success except a thick skin and coping skills.

No, "cracker" is nowhere near as bad. White people don't spend their time trying to prove to the rest of society that they're not crackers. Black people have to prove to people that they're not n*ggers everyday. Whenever they step into a store, or hail a cab, or walk near White women wearing purses. Not to mention the historical baggage of the "n*gger" word: of being a worthless, uneducated Black slave.

Empathy fail.

I remember a story at the Huffington Post about people letting a shark die because they wanted to take a selfie with it in the background. If this really happened, I feel sorry for him and his family, but I think there's a good chance that he's making it up for fame.

I don't know if I buy this story or not, who knows, could be could not be real. But all the money in the world, being raised in a elite household. Will not change Stupid, or Ignorance.

Can't change people's mind from being stupid, or crude, sure money helps in a awful lot of ways. But can't shield you from the way people think.

He doesn't say the color of the guys in the car.
Using the N word, the odds are high that they are Black.
Blacks use the N word way more than whites.

So if a Black drives by and yells the N word is that discrimination ?

How about in the military do you think it would be acceptable to call superior officers the N word? Just wondering.
It's your narrative now so anything goes. You suggested it, why not?

What say you, White Male Republicans who think that the worst form of racism today is affirmative action and minorities accusing Whites of racism?
Barack ? Barack Obama ? Is that you ? Sure it's you, but, why are you sounding like a Fox news anchor ?
