Why are White people called Crackers?

[blue_ink]

Is it because we supposedly eat a lot of crackers, or because we look like crackers, like a saltine cracker?

[contentious]

Cracker comes from the middle English word crack which means "entertaining conversation". A cracker is a braggarts or blowhards. Cracker cowboys are from Florida. If you know Old Florida people, they like to sit and talk for a long time and tell stories about times gone by with their close friends and family. That's why southern white people aren't offended by the term "cracker" and are often proud to be a cracker, because a cracker is someone that is the life of the party and can entertain their guests with tales of adventure and amusing events. People from other places try to use it as a derogatory term, but that's because they're a bunch of uneducated uncultured unworldly halfwits.

It comes from the days of slavery when fat, white plantation owners all kept their wallets hidden in their butt cracks. And if they were travelling any distance on horseback, they'd store their luncheon meat in the same place to keep it moist. History is my favorite subject.

lol

[EngineeringStudent]

haha

[jellyfishy]

I was told it had something to do with the crack of a white slave owner's whip, or something.. O:

[Anonymous]

It dates back to slavery and refers to white people being the ones that cracked the whip.

[tyt_2012]

LOL! I usually hear "rednecks". I haven`t heard crackers before.

[blue_ink]

redneck's more of a compliment for many people though

[tyt_2012]

Haha ok

[dudeman]

damn racist ass crackers always stealing sh*t murdering people go back to Europe we don't want your kind only yellows browns and the blacks allowed in here

[blue_ink]

yea right if it werent for us bringing you guys over as slaves you'd all be sitiin in africa dyin of aids or malaria, huntin ruts with sticks, building houses out of cow sh*t and rapin everything in site. oh by the way europes pretty great beings that is a white continent. africa not so much. boom!

[dudeman]

ok I'm not black and africa was destroyed by whites they didn't make it better so learn some history there was a reason they lived the way they did its because of the nature of the land and the aids was started due to either the polio vaccine of by the diamond mines all of which were started by whites, jsut face it your race is the scum of the earth

[dudeman]

so boom a little knowledge for your ass

[blue_ink]

africa was always in the sh*t. second if you hate white...you're really just jealous. I'm sorry we dominated and conquered. it's manifest destiny.

[dudeman]

you had disease that's what got you to win but its OK were f***ing faster then you in a few short years we will be more and we will f*** you out of existence, and no africa was not always in the sh*t it it had some of the most progressive and wealthiest nations on the planet however the Mediterranean was a big trade route and you got gun powder from china you did nothing yourself you merely killed people. I can tell you know nothing so thank you for your time

[blue_ink]

the worlds most important and valuable inventions/achievements have been invented by a white man. everything you use on a daily basis that is making your life better was created by white people. the computer for one. and the car. and electricity, the telephone, most of modern medicine, everything science and technology related. every great piece of literature. music. damn near everything. ..i think the only thing a black man came up with was peanut butter and the squirt gun.

[dudeman]

again not true

[blue_ink]

everytime you have a large population of your kind living in close proximity to one another there is always higer crime rates, poverty rates, and all around corruption. you're are inherently dysfunctional. it is simply part of your biology. and like you say...we are becoming the minority, but that also means your life support will disapear as well. I'd like to see your kind maintain this country as well as we have.

[dudeman]

wrong again you really know nothing I feel sorry for you

[blue_ink]

there you go jackass. basque in it. soak that sh*t up. you know you hate to hear the truth

[dudeman]

its not the truth its your edited version of the truth just like Christopher Columbus found america

[blue_ink]

my 'edited version of the truth' comes from having to be exposed to this on a daily basis. this is all coming from simple obervations. your idea of the truth comes from propaganda bullsh*t that has absolutely no relativity to anything. most of what's written in history has potential to be incorrect. and please tell me how the polio vaccine or the diamond mines started aids since you are so 'enlightened'

[dudeman]

do research its not my job to educate you

[blue_ink]

good because your interpretion is highly unlikely and I really wouldn't consider you a reliable source

[dudeman]

ok

[Youbasic]

Lmao mother fucker you do not belong here. If it weren’t for you my people would be amaze here and your dirty asses would be dying of fucking black plagues in Europe. Build a fucking wall around all of America and kick out all the fucking white people cause no one likes you mother fuckers!!!’ Bahahahahaa

[Anonymous]

It's basically a term that blacks use for poor white men. "Lower class, cattle thief".

[cjwright79]

Whip-cracker seems most plausible.

[blue_ink]

black people came up with it. but anyone who isn't white calls whites that now.
