[quote="Short Hand":d54e0][quote=DonJuan][quote="Short Hand":d54e0]where did the term Cracker orginate from ?

-Back in the early 1900 before 1910 in a small back water hick town in Florida called Rosewood a white women was killed. The whitemen blamed it on the Blacks in their shantys down the way. They turned crazy and started on a masscre of Black's. Hunting them down like dogs in the forest killing as many as they could. They cracked up . hence the term cracker.". The funny thing is the real murderer was the Husband who killed his wife. Hence you now know where the term kracker came from. rock:[/quote]

I heard it a different way;

That the term cracker came from the CRACK of the whips that went upon the slaves.[/quote:d54e0]

meh. I always wonder why Rosewood is never talked aobut more in American history. quite the blood shed.[/quote:d54e0]

Actually, they made a movie about it called "Rosewood" back in '97 starring Ving Rhames and John Voigt. It was pretty good.
