Seriously, it there a white person alive who really gets upset about being called a 'cracker'? Or 'whitey'? Or (are there even any other such terms?)

And if you were a cracker, Mr Trump, you're certainly too spray-tanned to be a zesta or a saltine, you'd have to be a cheezit.

Playing the "everything is equal, what are you complaining about?" game gets so damn old.

White conservatives' lives are so disenfranchised because they can't use the "n" word. They want to use it sooo badly. That they're denied the use of it is unfair. Rappers can say it, so why can't they? Just another in a long list of things that make life unfair for whites, especially conservative whites.

"NIGGER"!!!

It is just a word and only has as much power as you give it! (paraphrase)

Can we get over this? (I was brought up on this word and when I chose Hank Aaron as my MVP I was slapped and told I cannot have a Nigger as a hero! Pick a white guy like Warren Spahn, Eddie Matthews or Joe Adcock!) Gotta love my upbringing, eh?

I am happily a California resident for over 40 years and have been cured!

Yo habla poquito Espanol, but at least our last great enemy, the Negro, spoke English! Did I really need this?

I am so tired of racist bullshit. Most of my friends are black or brown. The white ones are right, racist and not capable of conversing with over a beer.

Sorry this is long. Time for another dose of meds!

Those FOX reporters were thinking, sitting there like deer caught in headlights, with foolish grins on their face. You can imagine them all thinking..."Holy crap, what do we do/say now?

The N word is used to describe someone the white supremacists believe to be sub-human. Cracker is used to describe some who would crack the whip on that person they erroneously believe is sub-human.

Why do they find it so hard to understand why this so-called double standard exists?

WTF?!

Who is the 'our' of which he speaks?

Him and the conservative couch culture warriors?

Cuz if he means white people. I don't think most white people consider that 'our' bad word.
It's a stupid and ignorant thing to say by people other than whites
