To Bray, great article.
Did anybody see that girl on the Trayvon Martin case?
She testified that Trayvon said he hated that “crazy ass weird cracker”.
She answered NO over and over that no, she didn’t think calling a white person a cracker, much less a crazy-assed one, was racist.
She’s right.
This is the rule, let me set y’all straight, me, a native of Baltimore and having worked at predominant black institutions all my life....
a-it is IMPOSSIBLE for any black person to ever racially insult a white person.
b-ONLY whites can racially insult black people.
Thus when blacks refer to each other as the “N” word, it’s okay, cause the rule is....see rule B above.
Thus when Trayvon called George Zimmerman a cracker it is NOT a racist statement because...see rule a above.
I know how black people think, not bragging, it’s not rocket science. I worked closely with many, many black people during my five years as accounting manager in a Baltimore hospital.
Had no problem, they worked as hard as white people, I loved many of them and took them under my wings. Several of them moved on to bigger and better things and they still send me letters of thanks and updates. Got some real nice memories of it all.
But I know the rules, checkout A and B above.
This is not the way it should be, but that girl testifying in the Zimmerman case, she tells the truth over and over.
She would NEVER consider calling a white person a “crazy-assed cracker” a racist thing. It might be an insult, but to her and all blacks, racism has nothing to do with it.
She was definitely telling the truth of her upbringing. There is no way that a black person can make a ‘racist’ statement. “Racist” has been redefined, evolved, (as so many definitions evolve), into a word that only means actions and speech of white people.
Our “unifier” in the White House has been doing a wonderful job of bringing the major American races together, hasn’t he!
The media LOVES the "Man Bites Dog" understory in the Zimmerman case; if the 17-year-old black kid had the gun and shot the 30-year-old Hispanic guy, it would just be another weekend in Chicago. They are also happy to ignore that the only injuries Trayvon had was the gun-shot wound, while George Zimmerman had all sorts of head injuries.
But this one was different, and should remind everybody of a simple truth; never bring a bad attitude to a gun-fight.
