The only people making a big deal about "cracker" and "honkey" are alt-right shit heads who think that white people face racism. They want there to be an N word equivalent for white people, but there just isn't.

Yeah you have to have centuries of oppression and then redneck assholes to come up with a cool/ racist word for white people

We really can't let it become classified as a slur. It'll just be weapon of white grievance, a claim of white victimhood, which is quite dangerous. Lying murderer George Zimmerman claimed Trayvon Martin called him a "honkey." BULLSHIT! No black teenager outside of a 70s cop film is using that word. The black characters in Ben Shapiro's extremely racist novel throw those words around.

From NPR:

"The meaning of the word has changed a lot over the last four centuries," said Dana Ste. Claire, a Florida historian and anthropologist who studies, er, crackers. (He literally wrote the book on them.)

Ste. Claire pointed me to King John, published sometime in the 1590s. One character refers to another as a craker — a common insult for an obnoxious bloviator.

'What craker is this same that deafs our ears with this abundance of superfluous breath?'

"It's a beautiful quote, but it was a character trait that was used to describe a group of Celtic immigrants — Scots-Irish people who came to the Americas who were running from political circumstances in the old world," Ste. Claire said. Those Scots-Irish folks started settling the Carolinas, and later moved deeper South and into Florida and Georgia.

But the disparaging term followed these immigrants, who were thought by local officials to be unruly and ill-mannered.

"In official documents, the governor of Florida said, 'We don't know what to do with these crackers — we tell them to settle this area and they don't; we tell them not to settle this area and they do," Ste. Claire said. "They lived off the land. They were rogues."

Recently read on Reddit how Trayvon attacked Zimmerman "Before a single shot was fired." I really didn't see it before this, that a black kid walking down the street has no right to "STAND HIS GROUND".

Thanos was right.

The case where that little neonazi killed two protesters basically cemented that only people guns are allowed to murder people “in self defense”.

Literally if you don’t have a gun you have to stop defending yourself before killing the other person but if you have a gun you’re allowed to keep shooting until the other person is dead. The logic being that if you don’t murder your attacker then they can still take your gun and murder you with it.

So shoot first, shoot often and don’t forget to finish them off. Then claim you were scared for your life and walk free (like that old movie theater fascist)
