The term cracker does come from the whip cracking. But now a days people don't know that

No it doesn't. Have you watched any 70s black exploitation film?
What ever you're reading on wiki and urban dictionary are by cacs. They been tried to change the meaning to something degrading, all through out the 60s and 70s cracker was used as lame, dry and stale. There are no journals with slaves using this racial slur toward whites.

I originally assumed it came from the saltines but an old head told me it was from the whip.....now r u sure?

 

[BelowTheMasonDixon]

nobody in american history has ever used to term cracker to identify the sound of a whip. Do you just believe everything cacs tell you? The term cracker comes from just that....a saltine. ask any older grandparent. You 90s babies.

90s baby LMAO you fukking idiot

There are multiple explanations of the etymology of "cracker", most dating its origin to the 18th century or earlier.[3]

One theory holds that the term derives from the "cracking" of whips, either by slave foremen in the antebellum South against African slaves, or by rustics to guide their cattle.[4][5][6][7] Those white foremen or rural poor who cracked their whips theoretically became known as "crackers."



A "cracker cowboy" with his Florida Cracker Horse and dog by Frederick Remington, 1895
Another whip-derived theory is based on Florida's "cracker cowboys" of the 19th and early 20th centuries; distinct from the Spanish vaquero and the Western cowboy. Cracker cowboys did not use lassos to herd or capture cattle. Their primary tools were cow whips and dogs.[8]

The term "cracker" was in use during Elizabethan times to describe braggarts. The original root of this is the Middle English word crack meaning "entertaining conversation" (One may be said to "crack" a joke; a witty remark is a "wisecrack"). This term and the Gaelic spelling "craic" are still in use in Ireland, Scotland and Northern England. It is documented in Shakespeare's King John (1595): "What cracker is this... that deafes our eares / With this abundance of superfluous breath?"

An alternative theory holds that the term comes from the common diet of poor whites. The 1911 edition of Encyclopedia Britannica supposes that the term derives from the cracked (kernels of) corn which formed the staple food of this class of people


Now slap yo self and apologize to your hand for looking stupid.

I'm very sure. How old was this head? Just watch any Pam Grier movie, the term didn't even exist prior to the 60s. I think Richard Pryor came up with the concept in the 80s (written by jewish writers most likely) and folks ran with it, but it was just a skit. You will not see any racial slur used by any slaves actually. Other then devil, evil, demon as they were religious. Seriously, let's use common sense for a minute, cracker to identify the crack of a whip? Does that even seem right to you, that's an ode to the slave master not a slur.

Did you just quote me a link created by crackers?
Did you even read the above? where does it indicate the term was used by slaves? You just showed me where the term cracker orginated from, note, the date is 1895, after slavery.

 

[Premeditated]

Agree with all above. I have thick skin, and everyone talks shyt about everyone on here. I don't take it as a racist term. Doesn't bother me at all (see signature below )

gah @ that sig

nikkas are just viscous with the mouth

Were they american? (I noticed your sn)
Makes no logical sense why he'd think that. I watch a lot of black exploitation like supafly , they're always throwing the term cracka, saltine, dry muthafukka. That's where I learned this american slur. We had to do research on american history in school, I was particularly interested in black slaves, the treatment, I read a lot of journals, read 12 years a slave waaaay before the movie came out. Not once have I read the term cracker from an actual slave. No offense but I don't think they could even articulate that well to identify the crack of a whip to cracker, and then use it as a slur.
