Yes times have changed. Today one Black can and often does call another Black a nigger. But if the same is uttered by a White, or an Americian Indian for that matter, watch out. But when a Black calls a White a Cracker does the White react the same as a Black being called nigger by a White? I think not. Chandler simply wrote his stories on the acceptability (ugh! Political Correctness) of his day. Malone
