If you are called a "cracker", it's likely due to you being white, referring to whip cracker or cracking a whip against black slaves. The reason why a person would be called that is because the person making the claim is probably ignorant, and views all whites the same.

However, if you are "crackers" you are considered crazy, and the reason to be call that is someone making a claim that you are cracking up.
