Agreed, although in a situation such as this Zimmermen trial trayvon called him a "creepy arse cracka" that Witness in the trial said she does not think that is a "racial statement" I don't see how in the hell it isn't a racial statement.

I'm not offended by it but it certainly is a racial statement


It's about as racial as a black comedian doing nerdy white voice. Trayvon was what, 16? Did he have some deep seeded resentment towards the creepy pale LARPers always frontin his game? I don't think it was racial at all, it was a nonsensical comment that was probably said for no more reason that alliteration flows off the tongue.

I didn't mean that Trayvon meant it as a racial slur, just that he felt the need to identify the guy as a white guy which is by definition a "racial" statement but it's not a "racist" statement

Do you think he would have said "cracker" if Zimmermen were black? Of course not, thus making it a racial statement, again does not mean the same thing as racist

So if a white person was being followed by a nerdy looking black person and said "Im being followed by a nerdy arse n word", It wouldn't be a racial comment, it would probably just be because it flows off the tongue?
