I feel I have to apologise for the use of the 'C word' recently with several forum posters.
Apparently, according to my white friends, you guys are allowed to call each other 'cracker', but as an African-American if I say the word it is considered racist and offensive.
I did explain that many of my white friends let me use the word as they know I don't mean any harm, but I have since been told that I might be able to say 'Cracka' in future, as in 'Cracka please!', or 'Whats Up, my Cracka!' but not 'I hate you Cracker fools etc', and that there is a very potent difference.
I sincerely apoligise if I have offended anyone.
