The term "cracker" is very old, comes from slavery times. Back then,
folks used the term to refer to brutal slaveowners who stayed cracking that whip across the back of enslaved blacks, hence the term "whip-cracker". It later got shortened to just "cracker". As blacks migrated from the South to other parts of the country, the term followed.

Being a Brit, I'd heard of the term cracker for white peeps but didn't know its origins. Heres my ignorance fop ya - there was me thinking it meant cracker as in 'creamcracker'! like the biscuit, but cream meaning white he he. yeah right.

[Sentenza]

around here cracker is a racial slur, i notice black people like to use it

i never called a white person a cracker in my life, i say shit thats deeper and has a greater effect, the term 'cracker' sounds fuckin dumb, crackers are for soup, salads and peanut butter nigga, i dont toss that word around matter fact it dont never come out my mouth.

Whatever these white folks did to you, dont hold me (and a few others on here) responsible please.

And make sure you say it to the right people, cause otherwise you are not being much better than those you mean with it.

[BlaKK]

Johnny & sentenza that statement wasnt directed towards u at all.... yall cool in my book.

[Sentenza]

Same goes back to you....But what i was aiming at in general is, that racism is an ideology, that has nothing to do with race necessarily but can affect everyones mind...
Like they say, the devil comes along in all colours.

And what this shit did to the world is well known. Thats why everyone needs to free his mind of this BS. No matter if you are black or white.

It was actually started by whites to refer to lower class whites

The Florida Cracker Trail is a route posted across southern Florida by the Florida Department of Transportation.

The October 27, 1863 Battle of Brown's Ferry, in the American Civil War, opened the so-called "Cracker Line".[3] [4]

Crackin' Good Snacks (a division of Winn Dixie, a Southern grocery chain) has sold crackers similar to Ritz crackers under the name "Georgia Crackers". They sometimes came in a red tin with a picture of The Crescent, an antebellum plantation house in Valdosta, Georgia.

Before the Milwaukee Braves baseball team moved to Atlanta, Georgia, the Atlanta minor league baseball team was known as the "Atlanta Crackers". The team existed under this name from 1901 until 1965. They were members of the Southern Association from their inception until 1961, and members of the International League from 1961 until they were moved to Richmond, Virginia in 1965. However, it is suggested the name was derived from players "cracking" the baseball bat and this origin makes sense when considering the Atlanta Negro League Baseball team was known as the "Atlanta Black Crackers".

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.

In the 2000 film O Brother Where Art Thou?, the upper class white character "Pappy" O'Daniel, candidate for the Governor of Mississippi and sponsor of the radio show Flour Hour, meets a lower class and uneducated white character as he arrives at the radio station for his program. Pappy is told that he can make $10 for singing into a can inside, whereupon he snaps, "I'm not here to make a record, you dumb cracker."

Haha, i just wrote something different in that other thread. But maybe i should think twice about it and there is a grain of truth to what you said. I can just speak for myself and my environment and i do not know a single person personally who considers black people as subhumans. But yea, they are around...Too many of them. But its not like they rule the cityscape. But they like to make it look like on the internet. Internet-Hitlers.
Last time a racist party was having a gathering around my corner their shit was torn apart and it were not immigrants.

Turks are Indo-European, not Arabs. Either way, who knows what this
