The truth can also be inconvenient: by virtue of his actions
and character, George Zimmerman is in
fact a "creepy cracker."
The origins of the word cracker are uncertain. What we do
know is that Trayvon’s use of “cracker” drew on a long history of mass racial
violence by whites against African-Americans that began with the transatlantic
slave trade and the plantation system in the “New World .”
“Cracker” is
evocative of the sound of the whip, wielded by a white overseer or slave owner,
as it lashes and tears black flesh. Cracker is a word that embodies white on
black racial violence and tyranny.
Cracker is in no way equivalent to the word nigger.
