"Chuck, a lot of the counties in the Panhandle, in north Florida, the cracker counties, if you will...more resemble Georgia and Alabama than they do Florida."
"Cracker" is a term we native Floridians use and have for many years. It comes from the cracking of the whip of the cracker cowboys who homesteaded after the Spanish left so many horses that had gone wild. Look it up, folks. It is not by any means a derogatory word in the usage of an ethnicity or group of people descended from Fla's settlers.
If this guy said this on Fox News, you'd never hear the end of it from the left. He would be fired, tarred and feathered, and he would be a homeless cracker living in the FL panhandle for the rest of his life. that's the difference in how the media works in today's left wing bias state.
Is anyone surprised? We all know who the REAL racists are & always have been, DEMOCRATS! Everything is seen thru race by them. The opposers of Emansipation, the founders of the KKK, the fighters of voting rights & civil rights............Democrats are the REAL racists.

Prejudice is a symptom of a small mind. This is merely another expression of "flyover counties".

No surprise. This is the same 'news' network that hired that racist SOB Al Sharpton.
