# Or
# The most common explanation for the origin of this phrase is that it is from corncracker, or someone who distills corn whiskey (cracking corn is to crush it into a mash for distillation). The song lyric 'Jimmy Crack Corn' is a reference to this. In the song a slave sings about his master got drunk, fell, hit his head, and died. And the slave 'don't care.' The usage, however, is probably not the origin of the term cracker.
