Reclaiming slurs means you’re turning a weapon into armor, not turning that weapon against other, usually more vulnerable members of the same group.
This is the most brilliant way I have ever heard it explained.

The best randomness around!!: my view on the words 'nigger' 'cracker' 'spic' 'fag'
they’re words.
they only have meaning when you put meaning to it.
so gtf over yourselves. lol. everyone.
You compared the word cracker to actual racial slurs…
Black person > Nigger
Hispanic person > Spic
Caucasian…You ain’t doing no one any favors. You are just upholding White Supremacy and dehumanizing groups of people.
How do you figure? I dont have a single problem with black/brown/white/yellow/people or anyone at all UNTIL they start acting like their race’s stereotype. I hate crackers the same as I hate niggers, the same as I hate spics, the same as I hate chinks, and so on. And I hate to tell ya, but the only people keeping racism alive are the NIGGERS, SPICS, CRACKERS, CHINKS, ETC. NOT the people who REFUSE to let themselves become those stereotypes. It all lies on the shoulders of the people who think that its cool/ok to be lowlife, non contributing, pieces of shit.
The people who are keeping racism alive are the people using these slurs and believing that someone who fits into a stereotype is a lesser being. The people keeping racism alive is the oppressive group (White people) and the people who give them support in their oppressive behavior.

But really, someone should give this guy hell. He is so, so horrible. This is not acceptable at all.
After looking at this guy’s blog, I’ve come to two conclusions -
- he thinks he’s very pretty, but no one is pretty enough to make up for what an execrable pustule he is;
- someone needs to break his comma key until he learns where pauses go.
Really, it’s embarrassing.
