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?

i thought it came from the opioid crisis

Crack(cocaine) users being discriminated

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:

We still do, but it brings me back, you know?

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

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

It was in Texas I believe and there’s more than ice down there. We send cops from all over to the border.

E: Forgot to finish my thoughT. A lot of Texas pigs wear cowboy hats on duty and pretend they’re cowboys so idk, fuck em.

I’m sure they’d call themselves cowboys if they could.

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

sounds like it’s related to the word craic

enjoyable social activity; a good time.

It was a slur for Irish people all along

I had to look this fucking cracker just sitting over a bucket with his corn cobs all day :corn-man-khrush:

Oh yes, that was it!

spoiler

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

That’s what “mayo” is for

Maybe I just missed that specific Cracked.com article

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:

No problem. That was just the way I heard it explained, about slave masters. But it also works because white people do be white skinned and break apart easy lol

I think the link was just the Wikipedia page if you care to look it up.

Mention CRT to a :frothingfash: and watch the fountain of salt flow.

Banned? DM Wmill to appeal.
