A slang term for 'white person,' which can be affectionate or derogatory depending on the context. Unlike 'redneck,' 'cracker' does not carry the added connotation of 'powhitetrash,' but simply refers to someone who is undeniably white.
Despite the common misconception that 'cracker' refers to whip-happy slave-drivers, the term is derived from 'Florida Cracker,' after Florida hill-billy cattlemen who drove their cattle along the highways, cracking their whips.

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.

The popular folk etymology is based on slaver foremen using bullwhips to discipline African slaves, and the sound the whip being described as 'cracking the whip'. The foremen who cracked these whips were thus known as crackers.
According to the 1911 edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica, "cracker" is a term of contempt for the "poor" or "mean whites," particularly of Georgia and Florida. Britannica notes that the term dates back to the American Revolution, and is derived from the "cracked corn" which formed their staple food. (Note that in British English "mean" is a term for poverty, not malice.)

In John Boorman's 1972 film Deliverance, Lewis, played by Burt Reynolds, derisively refers to the rural people they encounter as being "crackers", implying that they were slow-witted hillbillies who lived in a world much different from that of him and his friends from a southern city.
