Quote from kut2k2:
As usual you're off base. Who in this forum has been hurling around anti-White slurs the way peil, leapup, lucrum and others love to use the n-word?
BTW the word "cracker" in a defamatory context was invented by the same people who invented the n-word. In the historical mini-series Roots, the only people hurling the word "cracker" at some White people were other White people. Direct quote from a slave hunter in Roots: "This nigger is harmless and his cracker is drunk.". At which point the drunk took great umbrage at being called a ''cracker".
People in the south were called crackers since the 1700s according to wikipedia. Florida has a style of house called a Cracker house... and a history or cracker cowboys herding cattle. Some white people say they come from an old cracker family with pride.
We saw the evolution of cracker as an insult about the time the democrat party started to try and marginalize southern white people with all sorts of biased and racist ideas about their intelligence and religion.
If cracker was an insult before then it was a very esoteric insult. (from what I have observed.)
