What does nigger actually mean? it just means black . its the latin word for black
What does kike mean? it just means circle https://mosaicmagazine.com/observation/history-ideas/2021/03/where-kike-comes-from/
Now what does cracker mean? the slur for White people? it a referance to slave owners and their whips "cracking". Its much more offensive than the other slurs.
Yet White people dont make a big fuss over it compared to the niggers and kikes.
I thought the cracking of the whip was in reference to cattle is something like that. I know negro is Spanish for black (Latin based of course)and I thought nigger meant an ignorant person but that is neither here nor there because you are correct.
Larry Elder was talking about how his dad would say you can’t control what happens to you but you are 100% control in how you react. So if called a nigger I can let it roll off my back and walk away or act like an animal. I remember some ignorant students got upset because their teacher said “niggardly”. Finally like you said, you don’t see white people throwing endless tantrums over “cracker” or “honky” ( haven’t heard honky used since watching The Jeffersons). I’ve always thought it was stupid to hear nigger in so many rap songs and then they get up in arms if a white person raps the lyrics.
People choose to give words so much power
Comedic effect is always in play for any slur . The “Sheriff is near” part of Blazing Saddles still cracks me up
