The term “peckerwood” is the preferred black slang term for a poor, uneducated white person.

That’s interesting. I don’t think I’ve ever heard a black person say “peckerwood.” But I’ve heard white males say it many times. Maybe I was missing something growing up in MS.

Funny. I thought it was "cracker." Though I must say we prefer the term "po' buckruh."

Lest it be forgotten, all these demeaning terms Black use for poor whites were taught them by Ol' Massa. By training the slaves and the poor whites to focus their hatred, fear, and contempt on each other he got to remain in the catbird seat.
