If you are a non-Cuban republican voter in FL, you are a "cracker". CNN says so.

Isn’t “cracker” a derogatory racial slur? This is confusing.

The term “Cracker” is misused by nearly everyone.

It really refers to early settlers of North East Florida and South Georgia or at least that is who they were originally.

Florida cracker refers to colonial-era English and American pioneer settlers and their descendants in what is now the U.S. state of Florida. The first of these arrived in 1763 after Spain traded Florida to Great Britain following the latter’s victory over France in the Seven Years’ War.

Fwiw, the best known Florida Cracker these days is Democrat senator Bill Nelson. Whoever wrote that CNN story is ignorant.

Can a cracker call another cracker a cracker?

Maybe I’d be upset about being called a “cracker” if it wasn’t such a pathetic insult and the people using the slur weren’t such losers.

"The crackers, descendants of ranchers that date back as far as the sixteenth century, derive their nickname from the sound of a whip they use to drive cattle across the state and out of Florida's thick underbrush."

Doesn't sound like they object to being called "crackers".

From Ocala north is as deep South as Georgia and Alabama. These voters are intensely conservative and Republican. They will vote tomorrow.

LOL!

CNN says a lot of things, but none of the Republicans of Cuban ethnicity I was acquainted with, ever called me a “cracker”.

Almost every Florida native or resident here longer than I, called me a “Yankee” for at least ten years.

Now I am offended!
I’m going to have to scold people for NOT calling me a name!
ROTFLMAO!

Smells like more of the same divide and conquer.
