I love him and I hate that the link isn't working for me lol.
It was about some dummy saying that black people should never say "cracker" if they don't want white people to say the N word. Basically telling people they can't say cracker anymore as it's a racial slur.

It's a slur, sure, but any white person claiming that it hurts them or that other people shouldn't use it is on some bullshit. Slurs get their power from being aimed downwards from those with power. No white person's humanity is being denied because a black person called them a cracker. What a doodoohead.
What's happening here is a reaction to a perceived loss of power. Whitey can't say the N-word, so he sees that as a restriction on the power given to him by simply being born in America. The desire to stop other people from saying XYZ may be wrapped up in the package of "fairness" but it has no basis. You can't equally restrict power from two parties when only one of them has it in the first place.
That'd be like if I told by boss he's not allowed to threaten to withhold my pay and he responded by saying in that case I'm not allowed to threaten to withhold his either. Yeah okay buddy that's not a problem, you cracker ass motherfucker.

It's the same as people who say "There were Irish slaves, too, but you don't see us bringing it up/complaining about it still". It's like.....Yes....there have been other slaves/indentured servants in the past but it's just really not comparable. The situations are very, very different.
I'll never be offended or damaged by someone calling me a cracker and there's really no comparison to the N word. There's no history of hatred and vitriol in it that's anywhere near the same.
