Nothing - went to respond to your original post - for some reason I had double the quote - didn't feel like deleting all that
That makes sense. It's interesting to see the controversy is not just with Pitt.
 
Cracker is not a term for slave owner. It's a derogatory term for a redneck.
It's also a term used in Florida to denote a cattle rancher for the crack of their whips.

It looks as if the term has had several definitions over the years. I'm going with the one I've always heard it used for when I've heard someone say it.

Slave owner cracking a whip.

I always took it to mean the classic southern racist keeping down the Black people. This crew had a black one. Sticking it to the Yankees in this case.

I had never heard the term used before moving to Raleigh. I've only heard black people use it, and it's always a negative term for a white person they felt didn't treat them right.

It's also a more general term towards white people. Since, a cracker is white and salty.
 
Actually, Cracker has multiple meanings, and it varies somewhat by location. And its been used both derogatorily and as a familiar, self-identification term. There used to be a negro league baseball team named the Atlanta Black Crackers.

Its changed over time, but its first meaning in the US referred to the Scots-Irish immigrants in the South, who were considered to be unruly. They started to refer to themselves that way, as a badge of honor.
And then:
"It was in the late 1800s when writers from the North started referring to the hayseed faction of Southern homesteaders as crackers. "[Those writers] decided that they were called that because of the cracking of the whip when they drove slaves," Ste. Claire said. But he said that few crackers would have owned slaves; they were generally too poor.
 
Graded after every game.

This is one of the more remarkable things I've read on this site, depending on if you were older than 5 years old when you moved to Raleigh.
