Me too. It's a false equivalency.
My ancestors weren't dragged from their homeland onto slave ships, transported thousands of miles and forced into servitude for two hundred years, then treated like shit after they were freed.
Does anyone ever think about that when they try to make that comparison? Any so called racist thing a black person says directly to me could have no impact on me, because the insult is not loaded with that history I just described.
I get mad sometimes about the fucked up shit black people do, but I'm also well aware that the American black (good or bad side) we have today is a product of that history. How is any white person supposed to be offended by the word "cracker"?
