That's okay to call white parts of this country "cracker country."
Of course, anything remotely controversial is considered racist in the other direction, but Jonathan Martin of Politico quite easily and freely called white Republicans crackers.
Watch and marvel. Then wait for the apology when people start to complain.
Not people who watch MSNBC of course because no one does.
UPDATE: Here is the origin of the term "cracker," a "pejorative term for white people" from Wikipedia:
One theory is that slaver foremen in the antebellum South used bullwhips to discipline African slaves, with such use of the whip being described as 'cracking the whip'. The white foremen who cracked these whips were thus known as 'crackers'. [2] [3] [4]
