Funny thing about the word, Cracker, I have always heard that word used to describe Southerners of Celtic descent. Until recently I never knew that anyone considered it an insult. (I am part Cracker myself.)
And I don't think that Hwy meant it that way. We were just discussing odd Southern culinary habits.
I hope you don't think that I was race baiting. I was poking fun at FX for saying that dog-fighting is a "Southern Thang." But it had nothing to do with race. Pronouncing thing as "thang" is a Southern thang and is so completely independent of the speaker's race. America spends $700 billion every year on foreign oil. Want to help to stop this?
