The white boss "whip cracker" to the slaves back in the day. Blacks shortened it up to "cracker" or as some of the hood rats say "cracka".
It is ment to be insulting to white people.
You could call another race a cracker if you want to, but most always here in the U.S. it is only used by blacks toward whites.
BTW your English class is correct, a cracker is a thin biscute waffer to be eaten as food. It means that in the U.S. as well.

It is a term that originated in the South. Slaves used to refer to white people as crackers because of the sound the whip made when their master would punish them.
It can also be used to refer to a poor white farmer. It is rarely used in a positive context.

It's a slang term for a Caucasian person. I was made up by black people, to insult white people.

It is merely a derogatory comment used towards whites by uneducated people.

It's a derogatory term used towards Caucasians, and it originates from Southern slaves calling their slave-owners that because of the sound a whip makes: crack. However, white people (like myself) shouldn't find it offensive. For crying out loud people, cracker is a food. Who gives a damn honestly. People don't like "cracker" because it reminds them of how they were enslaved. *sarcasm*.
參考: Quit whining fellow Caucasians.

You have a bunch of morons here that don't know their southern history. They hear history revisionist stories and repeat them like they are gospel. I'm going to tell you the origin of Cracker and it has not 1 damn thing to do with a whip. In colonial times in Georgia settlers especially Scottish types in the area had a keen liking to drinking and fighting which, a lot of times produced gouged out eyes. Missing eyes were a common feature of early settlers. Cherokee Indians were amused at this pass time and referred to these people by the Cherokee term for gougers which sounds like "cracker." Thus the term stuck . People make up stories to fit what they think would be plausible when they are too damn lazy to research the facts as most people on this site are. The whips, cattle, punishing slaves etc is all BS.

Cracker is a slang term. I do not actually know the origins of the word, I thought it came from Corn Crackers. My great great grandfather was a logger and cattleman in Florida, he was a cracker. That is that he cracked whips to herd cattle.
If I can shout fire in a theater, well, I cannot, yes I am able to, that does not mean that I am willing to or stupid enough to do such tom foolery.
Biscuits in England are Muffins in Canada are Crumpets in France and are Crackers in US.
So shout Biscuits and keep on smiling.

Actually a lot of people don't know exactly what that means. A 'cracker' is the person that cracks up the whip to whip the slaves, back in the slavery days. And the white people wasn't the only ones being call a cracker back then, because a lot of white people back then used the black people to whip each other, so like I said anyone who was cracking up the whips at that time was call a cracker.
