(67,773 posts)8. There are a lot of different meanings for cracker in the U.S.
Thanks for posting that link. Some of the European settlers in Florida were known as crackers. That term then got extended to refer to southern white people in general.
I have a rose bush in my yard that is known as "the cracker rose" because it thrives in the south.
There's also the term cracker for the tip of a whip, which brings up a lot of dark inferences.
And there's the old timey reference to cracker barrels.
It's possible the old CB logo was playing with a number of those references. Who knows.
What's interesting to me is that MAGAT decided to have a meltdown about a company changing their logo.

No cracker, no barrel. The Magabillies think the new logo is canceling them.
