Other than a Keebler or Ritz cracker, what exactly is a "cracker" in the south?
Why is it a derogatory term? As a yankee, we should educate ourselves.
I typed in some current terms into my search engine, just to educate myself.
New Black Panthers Call For Race War, Burn Florida, Blood Shed, Kill Crackers, For Trayvon April 9th Day of Action | Wyld Goose
It doesn't really matter what year they said it, but this is all quite shocking to know that they are in large numbers in Sarasota, Florida.....as I read elsewhere.
For my own knowledge, I simply typed in "Black panthers in Florida" into my search engine and came up with a long list of their activities and hatreds against whites.........
There are many many many links, not just the one above. I read all of them.
Who is racist now??? Apparently they hate us "crackers" .
Now, where did I hear that word "crackers" used recently??????

Last week we watched a documentary on PBS about a man who had been imprisoned in solitary confinement for over 40 years in Louisiana; it was a documentary showing an artist who was communicating with this elderly Black Panther......and "building a house for him" based on what a long incarcerated prisoner would imagine as his ideal "home".........it was all imaginary after all, as she searched for the land upon which to build this home.........he's now at death's door while still in prison.......but truthfully, that was the first time I'd heard the term BLACK PANTHER since way back when.....didn't even know they were still in existence. Now I do understand why the warden of that prison felt that if he let the Black Panthers out, he'd have more problems on his hands then they could manage.
