IN NZ and Aussie if someone says you are a "Cracker".. it means you are
pretty good... guess that's why we are upside down.

The other 75% were "po"whitetrash as they couldn't even afford food and
clothes and had to work there young Children to get by. Whitetrash
couldn't
have been crackers period.

I love these uproars.....lmao.

What it APPEARS Mr. Throat...or may I call you Deep...is attempting to
imply is that "crackers" aren't "po" as the term "cracker," he is
mistakenly implying, refers to those who owned "salves" and cracked
whips at or over them. Unfortunately for Mr. Lovelace, "cracker"
referred to those who actually did the whip-cracking: overseer-types.
It had nothing to do with slave ownership, and therefore, "'po'
whitetrash" could have been "crackers," and, in fact, such is probably
the case...
