Again, explain why you are seeing any need to compare the two.

Are you saying cracker is not a slur? If so, explain in what other way Whitehead meant it. If not, what the actual fug is the point of what you are saying?

I said he made a racial slur. In your opinion, is this a correct statement or not? Yes or no. If no, explain how Whitehead meant it.

Can you please answer these questions directly instead of posting the exact same thing you said before. I am not asking you to compare levels of offensiveness and am not making any statements about levels of offensiveness.

Please somebody tell me if this is unclear in any way.

I mean sure calling someone a cracker is a slur. Just like an 8 year old taking a candy bar for a grocery store is technically “stealing” but I think only a very sensitive snowflake would get their panties in a wad from being called a cracker on the tweeter. 
 

you see this sort of mindset now, a lot of people who say America is too PC and Americans need to stop being so sensitive and grow a pair are the first ones crying with their widdle feelings hurt when someone says something that offends THEM. Again, the real problem here is this dude talking wild and threatening trolls on twitter with violence and saying he is gonna shoot them. Maybe you haven’t been watching the news lately but gun violence ain’t no joke in this country homie and if someone said they were gonna shoot me I would take that poo serious.

The problem is that you really aren’t even responding to my post, you’re responding to something you have contrived in your head and implied that I meant things that I did not. I made a simple statement, which you have admitted is true. I don’t care if anybody’s feelings were hurt, nor do I think they were. Yes, the biggest problem is the threats. Calling somebody a slur is not a crime. Direct threats of violence are. However, when you pair violence with racial slurs, now you have compounded it to a more serious crime. And let’s say he actually commits a hate crime, it’s not going to matter at all whether somebody was offended by the slurs, the point is what his intention is. Is HE racially motivated?

You are the only one talking about whether people should or shouldn’t be offended. It couldn’t be less relevant.

Cracker and the N Word aren’t even in the same universe for offensive racist slurs. If someone called me a cracker I would probably Start laughing. 
 

I do have a big problem with him threatening to shoot somebody though. 

Yet you say let’s bring him in as depth to keep fans in check ?

Troll game is weak.  Stick with one or the other to find your true troll-ness young padiwan.
