I was in Las Vegas over the weekend, and I joked with my friend Jim Hoft, St. Louis’ Gateway Pundit, calling him a “Cracka” during an interview.
Jim gave a surprised laugh, evident my comment gave him no discomfort. Nevertheless, the blatant use of the term Cracker these days got me to thinking about Crackers in general. So I decided to perform a quick investigation.
In my investigation, I was surprised at all I had not known about Crackers.

How about Buckwheat cracker?
Oh, that's gonna leave a mark. Look for a name change.
You are welcome, fellow cracker. Not that you are a cracker, but it seems that the term cracker isn’t so bad, to me at least. Besides, I really like crackers.
What a hoot! Funny article and I’m glad to have seen it!

All joking aside, ‘cracker’ is no more pejorative a term than `greaser’ or `spear-chucker.’
I like crackers too but, all unleavened snack biscuits sweetened or not to one side as well, ask any black guys (if you know any) if they would object to being called an `oreo.’
A more useful pejorative than “cracker” is “po’bucker”.
While it sounds much like “cracker” in derivation, its origin is not racial, but ‘backwoods’ or ‘provincial’, yet not culturally or geographically, but intellectually.
That is, one can be from the actual backwoods, and still be genteel, polite, courteous to all and friendly; but a “po’bucker” can just as likely be a graduate of Harvard or Yale, from a wealthy, urban, Boston family, yet be crude, impolite, elitist, and obnoxious.
Almost invariably, however, a true “po’bucker” will be a Democrat.
Hypocrisy is a mainstay of “po’buckers”, both professionally and personally, invariably a mask for their purposefully negative pursuits and personal corruptions.
Examples are blatant racists, who call others “racist”. Antisemitic Jews. Those who redefine anti-Americanism as “patriotic”. Those who proclaim hatred of the rich, while they steal from the poor. The people that support corrupt leaders, because “they are one of us”.
In the final analysis, po’buckers are full of hate, bile, and neuroses. They cannot improve or enrich their own lives, so they seek to tear down the lives of others. The feel deeply inferior, so they proclaim their superiority to all. And they are “the losers of life’s lottery”, because they think that life is a lottery, so they gamble away their prosperity.
They are the “po’buckers”.
I’ve known blacks, but now I’m in a practically all white small town - so, I can’t ask. Cracker is fine with me, also - in fact, blacks can call me anything they want as when they do it’s just a mirror for their miserable lives, one that they need to address themselves and not ask for more money every few minutes.
I was poking fun at your spelling of whip (wipe);)
I am a proud cracka!!!!
Well, damn - I try, but I’ll have to try harder.
Soooo... what would happen if these 'crackers' were to infiltrate the nut-roots?
Seriously though I have wondered what would happen if someone were to take the audio of Shabazz railing about hating crackers and replace "cracker" with Progressive, Liberal, Democrat, Union thug, or some other leftist identifiers. It could be quite interesting if it were aired in 90 days or so.
That would be interesting given that he apparently hates liberals as well.
so- a white guy on drugs is a “cracker-head”?
Maybe we should say:
“We’re called ‘crackers’ because we know how to ‘crack’ a book, learn and prosper.”
