I don't give two shits what ANYONE says. The level of stupid is WAY higher in the South than any other part of the country.

Thank you for illustrating the bigotry so evident here. The term "cracker" has two distinct origins. In FL and South GA, it was a reference to nineteenth century cattle drivers, when cattle ranching was widespread in those areas. Elsewhere in the deep South, it was a slave reference to plantation overseers, who were usually lower-class white men (what has been termed "cracker culture" in the South is in fact a reference not to the culture of "Massa" but to that of "Massa's" white overseer). In either event the term referred to working class(typically uneducated)whites. Much like the term "redneck", which enjoys a similar etymology and usage, it is a term which largely continues to be used in a broader and derogatory sense as a synonym for "White Southerner".
Yes, we in the South know you Damnyankees are all smarter, better educated and otherwise superior to us, as you remind us daily. We know all the stereotypes, because you remind us of those too. We know what you think. WE DON'T CARE! If you don't like Southerners, and the South, just stay away. We wouldn't want you brilliant, sophisticated, oh-so-superior Yankees, exposed to us; goodness knows what you might catch! Don't go away mad, just......go away.
