I grew up in Northern Georgia, and here, a cracker is a racist white
person. And I know that there was a time when people took pride in
being a Cracker(there was even a baseball team called the Georgia
Crackers,I believe), such as Jeff Foxworthy has made it cool to be a
redneck, but in the 100 times or so I have heard the term cracker used,
it was very negative and derogatory, but you are right about one thing,
I think the term originally applied to south Georgians and northern
Floridians. I actually thought conchs were south Floridians.
