It's actually my Bathroom Reading Book-of-the Month.....no I haven't read it man. But I'll give a shot for you. And if you don't think your name screams "racist overtones" I don't know what to tell ya.

For the ignorant.

quote:

Cracker," the old standby of Anglo insults was first noted in the mid 18th century, making it older than the United States itself. It was used to refer to poor whites, particularly those inhabiting the frontier regions of Maryland, Virginia and Georgia. It is suspected that it was a shortened version of "whip-cracker," since the manual labor they did involved driving livestock with a whip. Over the course of time it came to represent a person of lower caste or criminal disposition, (in some instances, was used in reference to bandits and other lawless folk.)
