i would never take offence to the word cracker cus it doesnt mean a goddamn thing .. it seems funny to me that someone would attempt to insult me by calling me a cracker .. id probably think they were pathetic .
lots of black guys i know drop that word and ive never cared ... but id never drop the n word around them cus of what that word has meant through history

i suppose at the end of the day it doesnt really matter cus if your intentions are to be racist when saying "cracker" then its no different than a white guy saying the n word and meaning it in a racist way ... but either way the n word will always be more impactful than a word that truly means nothing

Cracker is a way of calling you a racist. Cracker I believe comes from cracking the whip, as in whipping slaves. I think I've heard that before :s.

But none the less, I MIGHT be offended by it, who knows, so if a black guy called me a cracker I'd feel like their disregard for how I may react is what would be most offensive.

Cracker is actually a word to offend Jewish people and it does have historical mean inning. Jewish people were put through one of the worst things in history just because they were Jewish, they don't blamed oppression for everything haha but that's another subject. Non-Jewish white people shouldn't get offended by cracker AT ALL, it would be like me calling a Mexican a nigga and them getting offended lol.

But like you said, an intention to be racist is an intention to be racist, and still wrong.

The "Whole Story" is out. He saw a young black male as "suspicious", followed him, then when he was confronted he murdered him. It's not like Trayvon was the only person walking around the neighborhood. The ONLY reason he was "suspicious" is because he was AFRICAN. PERIOD. This case is VERY VERY dangerous and I hope my people realize the underline tone of this situation. Acquitting Zimmerman puts the message out that EVERY AFRICAN is "suspicious" and people have the right to follow and harass us. And in the event that we DO "STAND OUR GROUND" we can be MURDERED IN COLD BLOOD for it. Smh..

Be honest, if Trayvon was white, would you care? Would there be all this going on? White people get killed all the time. If this was a white on white crime he'd get equitted, but if that happens it means everybody's racist?

Oh well.

Idoits. Stupid ass question.

The difference about this case and te rest yu fuck tards compared is that the police took how long to arrest this guy?

Really? Some MINOR gets killed, with no weapon and a guy doesn't get arrested for it until a couple of months? no matter what RACES they were, that doesn't serve justice for anyone. Hell, if Zimmerman was black and Trayvon was white.. i'd still scream BURN THAT NIGGA!! Grow the fck up.. smh.

Why is him being black relevant? I get judged all the time because I wear trackies, a hoody etc. I'm not going to pretend to know the whole story, but to me you, like apparently everyone else, are throwing a racial twist into the mix here. One was black, one was white. Nothing changes if both were black or both were white.

I'm not bringing up the story itself. You might have your own opinions on it or whatever. The thing is, and I'm sure you've seen it to, is that ALL of these black people are rising up against this case in the name of Trayvon. The amount of these people that would rise up in the name of a murdered white teen would most likely significantly drop, probably by about 99%. These people are ONLY studying the case and getting so involved because they feel like "one of their own" has been done wrong by, which to me is racist.

You sound ridiculous. Trayvon is black, most likely his family and supporters with the family are too. You're focused on what the media is showing you. Pay attention, ppl support who it effects. Will you see a whole bunch of straight ppl in front of city hall supporting gay ppl? No. Don't mean that there arent straight ppl out there who support gays, you just won't see as many because the cause doesn't merely effect them as much as the gays. Its ppl like you trying to pinpoint out racism makes the case seem that way. I see alot of white ppl and other races support the Trayvon Martin case. You sound extremely stupid and close-minded.. get out of a TV and in a fuckin book!

Trayvon is not even here to defend his story, meaning there is no way possible this dude can explain killing an unarmed kid. None. Beat him down if you have to or hit him. But shoot? Are you kidding me?
The only reason he felt the need to shoot him is because he was black, which he was aware of. Meaning before he shot the kid, he identified him as black. So obviously some unarmed kid made you feel the need to shoot him, seeing your feelings towards blacks.

he initiated this trial as racist. he hung himself. if Trayvon wasn't black, this man would have never shot him. end of story. how do we know Trayvon was following him? we'd never know. the boy coulda been cheating on his gf and tryna find the chick house. its all bullshit.

ISNT IT RACIST......To start a thread titled: ISNT IT RACIST U in the wrong on this one. Its racist to make those statements. PERIOD. Look no further.

[Apollyon]

Tain is like the white guy on the sidelines thats afraid to talk about race to black people cuz of how sensitive black people get over it and right now hes terrified there gonna kick his ass cuz hes white.. Have some heart..
Zimmerman deserves to die in jail for the simple fact that he took a life but GOD DAMN why do a lot of black people bring race into everything??
