      Not necessarily, but it is often used as a derogatory word about homeless people.

      Whether it’s perfectly synonymous, my point still stands about respecting the humanity of other people

        Wait, no your Point just crumbled to dust.

        You say he is disrespectful towards homless people because he calls them Crackheads and uses a drone to shoo them away.

        But then you say you don’t even know if he really meant homless people because Crackheads are not necessarily homeless.

        In fact, you just said he meant homless instead of Crackheads, and now you are angry about something you said he meant?

          Most people, who call other people “crackheads” have not seen those people take drugs. They use the word because of how the other people look.

          Being called a crackhead more often than not means “looks like a homeless person”.

      Nope, shit untill housing prices went up so high most crack heads had stable housing.

      But in most places income assistance isn’t enough so they end up homeless
