Crackers are cowboys in the SE US.







Actually, the term "cracker" is a racist term for a white person, the counterpart to the "N" word. It's just that few people get upset with its use, but donnie tried to be offensive with his racist remark.



Maybe you meant redneck? Of course, they are everywhere.





Maybe you need to expand your knowledge. Cracker originated from Florida

Cowboys a couple of hundred years ago.

That's a very narrow definition... and he didn't use the term "cowboy" as you did in your search.



It seems the much more widely known and used version(outside of Florida) is the one I suggested. Perhaps this may enlighten you?

The cowboy theory get but one small mention in the many possibilities.



It isn't a theory, it is a fact that Cowboys of the South East are

called crackers, even to this day.

Yes, but it's a theory where the term originated. Don wouldn't know anything about American history. There's no doubt he meant the derogatory version.
