I take issue with the cracker slur anyway because didn’t it come from slavery and how slave masters would crack the whip? Like “cracker” in a roundabout way gives power back to white people, it’s saying you hold the keys of power and enforce them. Or am I overthinking this?

And here I thought it’s because we’re cracker colored :shrux:

The disgraced sex pest Louis CK had a great bit that was literally this. “Oh no you called me a cracker, that brings me back to when we had all the money and power!” :michael-laugh:

Apparently that’s not where cracker came from- in one of the recent threads someone linked some sources about its etymology.

No, and I didn’t look into it at the time either- I’d google it but I just don’t want to wade through a billion articles and reddit posts about the current cracker controversy :yes-honey-left:

As a non-American I’d just thought it was a reference to anglo cuisine or something

Use present tense, if those refugees who got whipped are any indication.
