Cracker, sometimes white cracker or cracka, is a racial epithet directed towards white people, used especially with regard to poor rural whites in the Southern United States. Although commonly a pejorative, it is also used in a neutral context, particularly in reference to a native of Florida or Georgia (see Florida cracker and Georgia cracker)).
The exact history and etymology of the word is still up for debate.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cracker_(term)
IMO when a person used the word cracker it is the same as using the n_word. I will treat the person the same as if they had uttered the n word.
If the government does not prosecute the use of the word cracker as they would the n_word, it tells me something about the government official and about government.
In my younger, more wild and agressive days I got into a few fights over it. No regrets. Nowadays a little older and more mellowed and wiser I haven't cared in years or even heard it used in forever lol.
I always remember the few times hearing it was from trash people that seemed tonhave absolutely nothing to their name.
I don't think Eric Adams is a racist. He was excited and said some bad words. Everyone does. (showed more energy in that clip than in any other I've seen, though)
But so far as NYC mayor, his goals and results are a lot more Bill de Blasio than Rudy Giuliani. Adams let a Black Marxist DA be installed without a critical word. Bragg. Prolly knew one another.
/maybe Adams is just the guy to protect NYC from all those damned Cracka's
NOT ALL WHITES ARE CRACKERS
Slang: Disparaging and Offensive. a contemptuous term used to refer to a white person in the South, especially a poor white living in some rural parts of the southeastern U.S.
WHAT IS A REDNECK? CAN YOU BE A PERSON OF COLOR AND BE A REDNECK?
I love crackers.... With cheese n pickle. Cushty. Keep ducking 🙉
