A term that is derived from the sound of a slave master cracking a whip. It is an "insult" used by people of non-Caucasian descent and Caucasians do not find it offensive or demeaning. The opposite of nigger.

The word cracker has been used by black people most recently for the last twenty five years publicly, as a derogatory insult to white people. A word that has now become popular with white people when referring to black people is the slang term crapper, which refers to a toilette which is used to dispose of human waste.
That is one black crapper, listening to some music sampling no talent rapper named Jasper, who think that all white people are crackers.

A term used in the friendliest manner and used for greeting by all races except Elmer Fudds, then pronounced kwacker and exclaimed with malice. Possible origin of word from early 19th century(1810 to 1840) coined when the sound of the whip was the slave's (usually black) or the endentured servant's (usually white,latino,or asian)or the employee's/associate's (with a healthy salary/401k/IRA/HMO/pph's etc.) call to pick up the pace at any given jobsite. Whether it be cotton fields,railroad tracks,bridges,tunnels, or any other private or municipal project that required a large work force therefore an inherent high number of slackers(pre-union era)made it necessary to get the attention of said unmotivated workers,By making the end of a bullwhip travel faster than the speed of sound("cracking noise") The technique, when practiced regularly can cause an adequate statement of authority. The man/or woman dealing out this authority was called "the cracker".
All those middle class people are just standing in line, getting ready to graze, at the cracker barrel. If their was a head cracker in charge I'll bet the line would be moving faster. "cracker pleease?!".
