Do these words have equal value in terms of...

[Loquacious]

a) offensiveness
b) racism
c) ability to be parodied and subverted.


Words: Nigger/Nigga, Chink, Cracka, Spic, etc.

Is one worse than the other? Equal?

 

[Mooney]

Yes they are "slurs" but if you don't give them power they become mortal just like any word in the Webster. Solely my opinion !

 

[DOS_patos]

cracka is making fun of someone....
a chink is insulting the features and culture
a nigga is calling someone ignorant

but only one will get you an ass whipping.

Call a non redneck a cracka and they don't give a shit and laugh. Call a redneck a cracka and their feelings are hurt.

It's more of social economic thing when it comes to white people about derogatory names. But most non coon blacks will beat your ass of a white call them a nigger. Same goes for Hispanics with the term beaner coming from a white.

Asians are trying their best to forget their culture so they might get offended by being called cracka morseo than think lol.

I somewhat agree

They are not equal and yet if you don't give them power they become mortal just like any word in the Webster

Nigger and Nigga have two different portrayals of definition. Based of history and origin..oh shit my song on

That’s why I put both. Some will be offended by nigga also. People offended by a lot of shit these days.

 

[Chicity]

Elaborate my nigga lol

I did Lol

I don't think cracka is as offensive ass nigga. Mainly because the word wasn't used a slur for centuries and it was never used in conjunction with physical punishment, lynching, rapes.....

However, in the end they are just words and we define what we allow us to hurt us. We (individually) give words power

So I mainly agree with you

I dont really use cracka like that....around blacks or whites.....im also not nigga this nigga that all day, but I say it

I've said chink before....sand niggas....ese's or juans.....I guess all that shits the same, i should chill

this was all in my living space with my people tho....i dont be online or in public with that shit

just out of respect....i dont hate any of those people, just some of those "slurs" are used to quickly describe a person you dont know anything about

we dont be meaning no harm most of the time.....when somebody says "nigger", I think they do

but hell yeah if my brother sees some bad mexican chicks he might be like "ayyy little taco" lmao.....I get thats kinda fucked up from the other end, but I know it doesnt come from hate or a superiority complex

Value is not universal. Conceptually, they're all artifacts of white supremacy, but their individual history's differ

 

[konceptjones]

Cracka and honkey are just insults. Neither of them carry the years of death, pain, and oppression of a people behind them. Chink, Spic, and alladat do, but not to the degree that "Nigger" does. Truthfully the only thing comparable, and if you really think about it carries more injustice behind it, is "Indian/Injun" when referring to Natives of this country.
