After a conservative bitch, I was briefly banned from SI for calling one of your team a "cracker". I was told it was a racial term by the moderators. I was unaware of a race of crackers, but apparently there is one! en.wikipedia.org Cracker, sometimes white cracker or cracka, is an expression for white people, [1]especially poor rural whites in the Southern United States. In reference to a native of Florida or Georgia, however, it is sometimes used in a neutral or positive context and is sometimes used self-descriptively with pride. [2] I think most conservatives on SI are crackers!
