Live video: George Zimmerman Trial - jury selection, trial, verdict, eye rolling

For the life of me I can't see what y'all think y'all are accomplishing by supposedly proving that cracker is not a racial slur
establishing that cracker is not a racial slur is not a win for black people, it's actually a dumb argument
The only argument that makes sense is that cracker is not as bad as ******, but the amount of verbal gymnastics and logical contortions you need to make to prove cracker is not a racial slur are simply not worth it, but thanks for the link maybe the prosecution should have entered it into the record during the trail
The bottom line is that you're cosigning and siding with racist whites trying to paint themselves as victims. I don't know why you rehashed this because you do nothing but parrot the same dumb shyt over and over. The term has never been a racial slur, it started as a term used amongst whites to describe each other. It can be an insult or a compliment depending on the context. Clinton used the term to describe voters that he was courting for Obama. Whites have have named baseball teams and schools including variations of the term. There has never been a time when blacks or any other non white race has used the term to oppress whites or paint them as inferior. You're doing nothing but validating the bullshyt victim mentality that whites are perpetuating in an effort to mask or downplay their racism.
you can cry all you want but cracker is obviously a racial slur, that's just an obvious fact, it doesnt matter if clinton used it or if some whites are proud of being crackers or whether it was used to oppress, you can post all the links and write all the essays you want none of that makes it NOT a racial slur
you can use those facts to show that cracker is not as offensive as ****** but it still makes it a racial slur, im not validating any white person, im just validating reality

So basically your argument here is "cracker is a racial slur, because it's a racial slur". You haven't said a gotdamn thing, so I think that we're done here. Here's some advice though, learn how to type in complete coherent sentences instead of posting that barely coherent run-on bullshyt.
exactly, cracker is obviously a racial slur because any idiot can see that it is
if you want to make the case that cracker doesnt carry the weight of ****** you can do that and i would agree with that and that is actually what rachel should have said when the issue came up, but to say its not a racial slur is just silly
what you are trying to do is make up a new definition of what a racial slur is, that is why it requires you to write essays and papers about it, thats just a waste and its silly
You posting the same shyt in a more bytchy limp wristed tone doesn't make it any more valid
I've explained why the term in and of itself isn't a racial slur, and my explanation didn't include a new definition of what a racial slur is. Your counter to my argument is "it's a racial slur because it's a racial slur". That's basically a tap out, so if you can't do any better than that then just shut the fukk up and let this go.
We've had this discussion so many times at this point- just read the old threads again if you're looking for understanding.
No one said it was a win or a loss for Black people. And it's not an argument, either.
So basically you're going to disagree with an academic whose entire career is dedicated to studying the word, history, and its associated culture with no evidence whatsoever. Ok. That's fine. I wasn't aware that giving a simple history of a word was "verbal gymnastics and logical contortion."

because i already responded to it
clinton calling people crackers does not make cracker NOT a racial slur
if it was not used to oppress people does not make cracker NOT a racial slur
if white people use it amongst each other does not make it NOT a racial slur
this is the definition of a racial slur
Racial slur | Define Racial slur at Dictionary.com
none of what you are saying has anything to do with the definition of a racial slur, and cracker obviously meets the definition of a racial slur, there isnt anyway around it unless like you are trying to do, which is change the definition of what a racial slur is
i did and i laughed about them
according to gravity if we dont establish that cracker is NOT a racial slur white people will be allowed to used the vicitim card and apparently the world will end soon after
im not disagreeing with the history of the word and i think its an interesting article but where in the article does it say that it wasnt a racial slur, in fact the article calls cracker a slur and discusses it in reference to other slurs against whites, did we read the same article?
his stalking statement was dumb and wrong
semantics, his race argument is terrible too
white people are scared of young black people plain and simple
The term cracker isn't necessarily derogatory or disrespectful though, which is why I gave you examples of it being used in non derogatory or disrespectful ways. The term can be used in derogatory, neutral, or complimentary ways depending on the context. Your embarrassing use of double negatives aside, why don't you just explain what makes the term a racial slur? You don't because you can't
You're about as smart as a rock.
How so?
What exactly does this have to do with anything? Is it illegal or grounds for something?

If I follow around a random person that is stalking
Imagine someone is randomly following around ur daughter thats is stalking

being scared of someone because of their color is racism
to have that prejudice is wrong
