A cracker is a white person, generally southern and specifically Florida, southern Georgia and Southern alabama.
It is used to describe rural folk who homesteaded theses states and lived hard lives, in mostly agrarian roles. Cattle driving was one of their main occupations, the "Crack" of the Cattle,not slave whip (rarely did they own slaves, and were as poor as any slave) was from where they got their name. It is said the "crack" could be heard for nearly a mile. The name cracker was synonymous with thier food, architecture, way of making a living as well as the people themselves. Today the word is used to descibe any southern white person, mostly used in derogitory terms, as meaning rural poor country folk by those who could not be considered crackers. The term is not as negative as redneck or hick.

To a PC idiot, the word "nigger" is racist and unacceptable, while the word "cracker" is 'ebonics' and 'valid'.
But in reality, the mindset that looks on all black people as slaves is the SAME MINDSET that looks on all white people as slave-drivers.
That's what "racism" means, folks.
