This is a funny little meme.
(The nword does not have to include the slave association either. When I grew up there were no slaves, and I learned it simply as an insult for brown people, no association with slaves)

It’s where it came from though. Whip cracker.

Crackers were from southern Ga or FL. It has nothing to do with slavery and it is a racist and classist term.
