Would it be ok if black people started the name and then white people used it after that?
In the states the term cracker is used to describe white poorly educated people who in the days of slavery would do the slave masters work for them by cracking the whip against black people

It's extremely offensive of course as it wasnt just the african americans who overthrew slavery and eventually got voting rights , millions of white people living in the south were there fighting with them and marching with them . I remember watching a particularly venomous black woman telling a white bloke to stay away from her on a protest march as he was a " Cracker " .....it was clearly an example of black racism .

Later that day a white supremacist drove a car into a white woman supporting the protest about the police treatment of black people

So offensive terms about white people do occur , in america they are based on a historical slavery theme , in the uk it seems to be more political
