Honestly I find whitelists to be an… odd way of phrasing it. There’s a reason most programmers have moved to block and allow lists. Don’t really care about crackerlist, but I find it odd that they’d still use the naming conventions of white and black lists. Changing white to cracker doesn’t make whitelists any less weird.

No idea how they give two shits about the word cracker when there is obviously a bigger issue.

9/10 crackers do not ruminate in fear and dehumanization when they’re called that because there is no policy - historical or present - to oppress them as a group of people. Rarely do people say it with complete malice and desire for violence - it’s often said lightheartedly because everyone knows that the dynamics are just completely imbalanced. At worst they’ll be annoyed for 30 seconds and forget about it.

Hell, I’d argue honkey and redneck are more “offensive” because it’s a slur for poor white people, and this subgroup has and is still being targeted by the state today. But crackers don’t want to talk about class, even when it’s them who’s suffering.

Literally nobody but racist crackers care about “slurs” for white people, it doesn’t hurt and may in fact help in the most minuscule of ways because it’s funny watching white identitarians malding about make-believe oppression

I won’t use it and I’m not white.

Looking for a pat on the head or somethin?

If being called cracker makes someone disinterested in socialist policy then they weren’t open to changing their views in the first place

This is a bad take. If you try to join a group and they insult you, it’s normal to walk away even if you like some things that group is doing. People leave jobs that pay them money they need over insults.

Fam I learned recently that rednecks eat at a place called Cracker Barrel. Only the most baby of petit bourgeois would be angry about it, and their class interests do not align with socialism

We’d have to stop using any terms that include colors: redfaced (ashamed), red with rage, blackballed, black humour, black magic, black eye, black sheep, yellow journalist, red line, yellow card, red card, brown-noser, brown thumb, black-and-white thinking, black out, black as night, etc.
