Reply #32: I did not say that the Gen Xers invented the word, I said...

they popularized it.

As a matter of fact, I am 42 and I have always observed racial harmony in my own life, choosing to accept that people are different and embracing that philosophy.

The issue is not how old or how young I am, this question was:

"Is "cracker" a racist word when used to describe white people?".

I grew up with black friends when it still was not cool to have black friends. I NEVER heard the word "cracker", nor if I had, would I have understood it to be the equivalent of the vicious moniker attached to individuals of their culture.

Now, you chose to correct me, but you haven't even bothered to answer the question in the OP. So, I suggest you stop worrying about my age and offer us your opinion on whether the word "cracker" is offensive to white people or not.
