<p>The word "cracker", while having non offensive connotations in certain situations, is a racial slur that some people might find offensive. We need to ban this word, so that no one can feel discriminated against and offended, regardless of the way it is being used.

Lol "cracker" is a word on par with "redneck" not an actual racial slur. To suggest that it is such is absurd and relies on several false, problematic premises.

<p>These days cracker is more of a synonym for redneck or hick than it is a racial slur, since its original meaning was someone who "cracked" a whip around black slaves. No ban.
