The sentiment is that it’s a pejorative. It’s a racial epithet being used in a negative way. If you accept some and not others, then you’re deciding based on skin color. Do you know what kind of person evaluates value based on skin color?

Well said.
“The problem, of course, is that racism refers to overarching power structures, not if an innocuous word made you feel bad.”
Nice false dichotomy.
Fact of the matter is that cracker is a racial slur. It’s a stupid one mind you, but a racial slur is a racial slur and there should be consequences regardless of what slur is used and what ethic or racial group is the target. With that in mind if someone called me a cracker I would probably break out laughing because…
A slur is a slur no matter who it’s aimed at. The target being white people doesn’t make it somehow okay.
Dune Wars
You are definitely in the minority if you honestly think “Claudia Gray writes some of the best Star Wars novels.” Her books are fine, but no where near the upper echelon of Star Wars novels. Shes definitely no Zahn or Luceno.
I hear that this is set during the High Republic-era nonsense that Disney is trying to make a thing. If so, I’ll easily pass on this.
This article has a lot of inaccuracy. The game is set in the HIGH Republic era, a new time period of Star Wars that they are exploring. Definitely Yoda, but definitely not C-3pO
Don’t think that is Threepio with the timeline. If High Republic and Trade Federation that places it at least before Episode 1.
I always loved this scene too. Chalky was the best character on the show.
“Well, I ain’t buildin’ no bookcase.” So much fucking talent, and Chalky White was the coolest.
Yep. Omar was legendary and much more widely watched, but Chalky was not only equally iconic but brutally realistic. Scorsese pulled no punches, nor did Williams.
I’m totally an outlier, I know, but I liked Omar and LOVED Chalky. RIP.
RIP He certainly won’t be building no bookcases up there.
I know this is not where most people know him from but I loved him in Boardwalk Empire.
Terrible news.. should have had another 30 years.
Hey God, Omar comin’.
