Morphology
crackerass + comment
The headword 'crackerass' is an informal, non‑standard blend likely combining the slur 'cracker' and the insult 'ass', so a learner who knows those constituents can infer it marks an insulting or contemptible comment. However the exact nuance—especially the racial slur element and degree of offensiveness—is culturally specific and not fully predictable from the parts, making the expression partially but not wholly transparent to a B1 learner.
Etymology
The phrase crackerass comment likely comes from joining the insult cracker (a rude name for a white person) with ass, a word people use to call someone rude or stupid. That strong, insulting picture explains why it now means 'a silly or offensive comment'.
