In Florida, it just means a person raised in Florida...
Like, you'd have to specify someone as a "white cracker" or "black cracker" etc...
Anyway, thanks
```A 1783 pejorative use of "crackers" specifies men who "are descended from convicts that were transported from Great Britain to Virginia at different times, and inherit so much profligacy from their ancestors, that they are the most abandoned set of men on earth". Benjamin Franklin, in his memoirs (1790), referred to "a race of runnagates and crackers, equally wild and savage as the Indians" who inhabit the "deserted woods and mountains".
The term could have also derived from the Middle English cnac, craic, or crak, which originally meant the sound of a cracking whip but came to refer to "loud conversation, bragging talk". In Elizabethan times this could refer to "entertaining conversation" (one may be said to "crack" a joke) and cracker could be used to describe loud braggarts; this term and the Gaelic spelling craic are still in use in Ireland, Scotland and Northern England.```
And here I was, thinking it's because huwite people, especially trailer and redneck trash are known for doing crack
Good crak mate
Good fucking crak
I lived with some asian dudes during my grad scheme
The one argument we had on race was when one of them said that calling me a cracker isn't an insult
Christ, I bet the place stunk of curry
Smh.
and not racist
Because the word cracker meant someone who cracked the whip on slaves they owned
I was like
Lol you think calling me a slave owner isn't an insult? stfu
It's not tbh
Anyway just a random story
In fact it's the opposite

but then it was only a few decades ago we caned our own kids in school 😛
And now look at them since we stopped
Causation does not equal Correlation
It's more to do with lack of home discipline
Lmfao
Why can't we just agree, a space for every race..
I agree
Good lad.

Place
