    Imagine being so blinkered, fettered, and entrenched in one’s reeking supremacy that you think it’s possible to be racist towards a cracker

      Systemic racism vs individual racism are different.

      If you say that western societies are racist against white people systemically? Nonsense.

      Can an individual person or small cliques of minorities hate all white people, sure.

      However the scale of power to whine about this as if it is a huge serious problem with society. If someone or a small group are assholes to you, just don’t give a shit.

      Alot of these people that whine are really just mad that white people aren’t being the only thing represented in media, which they should just get over it. Take pride in ones self, not one’s race.

        It’s not even really of the same scope or scale at all. If a group of people point and laugh at me and call me cracker, that sucks, and it’ll probably ruin my day. but that’s the worst sort of racism I will ever have to experience. Primary school levels of taunting and bullying. That’s nothing.

        It’s like if they were both people in an emergency room, the non-white guy is bleeding out on the floor, missing a limb, and the white guy is standing there demanding the doctors treat his stubbed toe before helping the other guy. That’s why we should pay no mind to these “cracker is a racial slur” kinds of overly sensitive white folks. If the worst thing that is happening to them is someone made fun of them on the internet, they lack the perspective to really ever weigh in on the issue and will take up all the air in the room and demand 100% of the attention.
