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...

I always thought the term "cracker" came from the practice of cracking corn to
make liquor.

Google is a wonderful thing - you can not only get inaccurate information, but
LOTS of it! Here's another rendition:

I wrote a Gospel song once, and performed it at the "Gold Guitar awards" a
big thing down here in NZ. They reckon it was one of the best attendances at
the gospel section though they tempered with the stat that at least 80% of
the corwd was there just to see if I got blown off the stage by a lightning
bolt... kinda like posting on ROFF really

The chorus for the song was something like... (It's been a while...)

"Out in the great outdoors,
is where I say my ptrayers
and the gifts he gives me everyday,
shows me that he cares.
I don't claim to know his bibkle
or the foundations that he laid
so I give my thanks to him
in the places that he made"

or something like that....

The closest I have come to attending church for years is when I fish with
Tom
Brown. I don't know why, but it seems like we always wind up fishing in
the
shadows of a church. And I am looking forward to the next time Tom and I
share
a river.

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.

make liquor.

AFAIK, the precise origin and connection isn't known, and, probably,
several usages were used simultaneously. There's also the theories that
it comes from the earlier English term for braggart, and that it
actually comes from, well, crackers (the eating kind, like what Linda
uses for his hors d'oeuvres). But given what APPEARED Deepstick was
pecking out about "salves," he was relying on the "whip-cracker" theory
of origin.

Hey, you edited your misspelling, which makes my post, instead of
yours,
look silly instead of witty.

Sadly you don't know squat where I live mark but I do know where you do! And
I don't have to be a crackhead either. You would not be consider a cracker,
but a white salve as your ancestors where.

Good grief, I wouldn't have thought it possible but there IS a
crazy white trash cracker who is both crazier than Chester AND
able to post to roff.

Would be nice if they could meet up and beat each other senseless,
but there wouldn't be much entertainment value since they're both
senseless anyway.
