It should not matter who says it. If it's not ok for a white person to say it then it should not be ok for a black person to say it. Thats how I feel.

But .... I'm not white people.... I'm "European American" or "White American".

On a side note... is it offensive if I call another white (oops) European American "Cracker"? Like...." What up Cracker"?

I wish we as white people would embrace "cracka" or "cracker." Because then we could have our own word that only we could say, and then use it as an excuse to get mad at other non-cracka's when they say it.
