The word cracker offends me. Let us unite to get this word off the shelf. The word cracker is racist, and very offensive. Help me change the word "cracker" on boxes, and force them to use the word "saltine" only. Together, WE can make a change. Please sign my petition to get the word cracker off the shelves...If they can take away a part of history by removing the rebel flag, then they should take this racist, and offensive word off the shelf...It's a real petition, and 1,000+ signatures are needed...I would like to see how far this goes... #Banthecrackers

The emails I receive about this are exhausting but they confirm that this change is necessary. I am still here working to make sure these companies hear us because they cannot keep ignoring the reality of the language on their packaging.

Seeing this momentum pick up is exhausting but it proves that people are finally listening. I am tired of fighting this alone so knowing others agree keeps me going.

I am 56 years old and I have been hearing white people be called this word for the majority of my life. I find this word offensive and degrading and as a result, feel this word should not be used nor put on advertisements or food boxes. People who use this word to describe us are being racist and putting down who they speak about. It should be banned and users should be prosecuted under hate crime laws because it is only used with malice!
I think if you really look at the demonstrations right now there are just as many black people as there are white people standing up for our flag so yes its a history thing and yes the south was the first to let blacks fight as FREE men. I have to agree that the term cracker is hateful and derogatory so I believe that the term cracker on the box is hateful so lets see what they can call then now???
I'm not American but I live in that country for 11years. 6 of them in the south I think the rebel flag got nothing to do with slavery its a important part of history and shoud fly high! I love the south and its people. Black or white.
The confederate flag is not racist! It is a battle flag and it is part of history! Might as well ban the American flag to while your at it, the way the government treats the common man is beyond a joke and the government our founding fathers fought and died for is no longer a nation.
This is crazy we are losing our rights...if we offend you move out this is America.
Those saltines take me back to a time I don't want to remember
Black history is racist to us to and the statue of Martin Luther king in Gastonia NC it needs to be in a museum just like they are doing with the confederate flag.

Every time I walk into a store I'm overwhelmed with anxiety because I know at some point I will have to see a box or a packet with this word on it. The white race have endured many years of being called this word or hearing it on TV shows that are generally a black themed show. It's time for that word to go away.
