[quote="Short Hand":edf0b]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:edf0b]

I heard it a different way;

That the term cracker came from the CRACK of the whips that went upon the slaves.
