I'm not motivated by the term Cracker either. I find it humorous.
I've tried to think up a racial term that would offend my brand but I'm stumped.

I don’t think anyone knows for sure but the version I have heard since I was a child in the 50s, is that it originated with early North Florida residents who used bull whips to make their ox or horse wagons move.
I think it is interesting that there still are Florida Cowboys on large ranches who use whips instead of ropes.
The term was also apparently common in Georgia as the old Atlanta minor league baseball team was known as the “Georgia Crackers.”

PRO-GOVERNMENT EXTREMISTS are violent, dangerous people.
It continues.. the mob violence including even muggings, knockout game, mob attacks, murders, beatings.. and no wonder look at the wicked hatred coming out of the White House, the Congress, the MSM, academia against those "who have too much" and how things should be more fair. How "they" stole "the people's" property.
Everyday whether it be "immigrant rights" or "civil rights" the pro-government extremists are incited to violence out of being a "victim."
The pro-government extremists cheered on by the White House, the Congress, the MSM, academia to get even gladly do the bidding of the Obama government, the MSM, academia . . . .
There is such a thing as vicarious liability. Did the attacker hear inflammatory comments by public figures.. even Obama? Sue 'em.

I love Rugers, very natural feel, quite easy to load, and none of that terrifying recoil of a big, old Glock.

I forgot to add that calling a White person “Cracker” is exactly the same thing as calling a Black person “Nigger”.
For some reason some people are far more equal than others. I mean the fact that a Los Angeles Cop once used the work was enough to let OJ off with murder.

Whatever happened to the term, “honky”? That always makes me laugh.

Maybe we just need to be told to be offended.

That's good because no one would care if you were offended!
Just like getting the frisks, pat downs and colonoscopies at the airport while young suspicious looking Arabs breeze right through security.
Who're you gonna sue, you're mighty whitey so you don't have any rights!

Or the one everybody has forgotten, the pig-latin “o-fay” for “foe.”
Funny, how would one pronounce the acronym “OFA”???

I saw it on Channel 19. It's on Cleveland's near west side, which has a diverse (hispanic, white, black) population with ethnic identities within that. It's not a total "dead zone" as far as economic and normal social life is concerned. The area could explode if the police don't do their job.
The attacker is a black teenage girl. The girls being bullied are younger white girls. The Cleveland police got it correct, calling black-on-white violence, or whenever one race attacks another, a hate crime. They have to or it will get seriously scary in that area. JMHO

Big Ruger fan here also. Bought my first Ruger (.22 auto pistol) for $37.95 at age 14 and took it home on my bicycle. Carry either an LCP or LC9 depending on attire and situation. Hunt deer with a Redhawk. Target shoot with a highly tinkered with Mark 1.
