The Peckerwood name that so many white youth proudly embrace, derives from the great 'Peckerwood Tree' The Peckerwood tree is a type of tree that was chosen as a hanging tree when the negroe's lynched. Thus it is a constant reminder of what has been as well as what is to come if the tarbabies attempt to overcome there own lips.

Peckerwood originally was used to describe the men who worked at Pecker's Wood Mills. James Pecker was a Yankee carpetbagger who built lumber mills in east Texas and Louisiana after the War Between The States, and who only hired White Southerners; therefore, those who worked at "Pecker's wood mills" became known as peckerwoods.
Over time, the term became popular in prison, as a way to distinguish White men whom were willing to fight and defend themselves in prison, from those who were willing to be victimized by others. To this day, various White prison gangs use the title proudly, and even the prison administration is particularly afraid of peckerwoods, even more so than they are of other gang members.
A peckerwood is essentially a White man, usually from the South and from a poor background, who shows little fear and is ready and willing to fight anyone who challenges or threatens him. Peckerwoods in many cases tend to spend years in and out of the prison system, as this willingness to engage in violence and refusal to accept social changes often results in long prison terms. Others eventually wise up and remove themselves from society, choosing to live in the mountains or the swamps of the South.

A derogatory term used by blacks for white males. The idea being that they don't know how to use their peckers. And that their peckers have as much feeling as a piece of wood. With a connotation that their minds aren't very sensitive either.

derogatory term for a white male, primarily used by african americans
this term came about in part because of the stereotype that African American males have bigger peckers than white males and know how to use them: they can have slow sex with their women because of the size of their peckers and their mad skills. on the other hand, white males stereotypically have smaller peckers and thus must thrust very fast like a wood pecker pecking wood in order to please their women with said peckers. therefore white males are peckerwoods also an inversion of the word "woodpecker."
