I love this Forum, I learn something everyday. If it is useful knowledge or not. I too thought Cracka/Cracker was referring to a saltine.
My friends and I call eachother Cracka, cracka ass cracka (thanks to Chris Rock for this one), ckracka lovin cracka.....
This did start because one of my friends wives did not like us saying "what up nigga?" So we use Cracka.
The word nigger, nigga has been reintroduced to society (although always prevelant in a certain sect of society) by the Hip hop generation, and its use by more mainstream society shows the influence of small portion of societys impact on a broader sense. That being said, the word still does have strong connotations when used as a hurtful word, or with ill intent. but at the end of the day its just a word. People say your a shit head, or Your a Shithead.... depending on the intention it means something different, as the word nigger/nigga should.
my two cents.
