When I was in college in Long Island, I had a friend from Harlem that lived on campus. When he was off campus with me he would always be on the look out for Archie Bunker types. He steered away from white folks wearing flannel or plaid shirts, work shoes and white socks. And he didn't like it if a white person called him 'pal'. But this was because he grew up in Harlem and didn't have much contact with white people. He had the same misconceptions that whites have about blacks but in reverse.

I heard that some white folks use cracker to describe themselves or shout out to others. "I'm a Florida cracker and proud of it!" "What ya'll crackers doin'?!"

Shit, only one solitary branch of my family showed up on my end to the US prior to the turn of the 20th century!
The first of my ancestors came over from England as an indentured servant in the 1790s. He settled in Georgia. Fortunately, his descendants left for Texas shortly before the revolution.
