If you are looking for Crackers in Alabama, you`r out of luck. They are in Georgia, always have been. BTW, not "slave whips' but teamsters cracking their whips over the heads of the mules. I learned that at U.C.L.A., where I went to school. U.C.L.A.= Upper Corner,Lower Alabama. Auburn to you Tuscaloosa boys.

The word "honky" as a pejorative for caucasians comes from "bohunk" and "hunky". In the early 1900's, these were derogatory terms for Bohemian, Hungarian, and Polish immigrants. According to Robert Hendrickson, author of the Encyclopedia of Word and Phrase Origins, Black workers in Chicago meat-packing plants picked up the term from white workers and began applying it indiscriminately to all Caucasians.
Honky, was later adopted as a pejorative meaning white, in 1967 by black militants within SNCC seeking a rebuttal for the term nigger. They settled on a familiar word they felt was disparaging to certain Americans of European descent; hunkie meaning an American of Slavic or Hungarian descent.[1][2]

The term "honky" comes from a time when white men would come from the Burbs to "date" black girls from the city. They would come to the end of the block or area just outside of the "hood" and honk their horns untill the girls would come down the street.
