Cracker mean not a food or some one whos on crack, it means the crack of a wipe. As in someone holding a wipe. So next time a black person calls you a cracker their pretty much calling you thier master.

Answer 1

I didn't know you could crack a wipe. I usually just use them to clean kids.  

Answer 2

I never knew that.

Now if you'll excuse me I have someone to go beat up.  

Answer 3

Thanks for the enlightened information.  However, the only crackers I'm familiar with are Ritz and Cheezits!  What are wipes????

Answer 4

Someone holding a WIPE?  Like a butt wipe?

Or do you mean WHIP?

Your fingers work faster than your mind it seems.

You can't crack a wipe, but you can wipe a crack.

Answer 5

Yes, I learned this term when I lived in the south during college. I never heard it in the midwest where I grew up.

BTW - I think the term refers more to a slave owner, not that someone is calling you their master.  

Answer 6

noun: a poor white person in the southern United States
