But last night, Piers Morgan said to Rachel Jeantel, "Let's talk about 'creepy ass cracker.' People have said that that is a phrase used by black people, 'cracker,' to describe a white person. Is that true?"JEANTEL. No! Like I said --
MORGAN: How do you spell it, first of all?
JEANTEL: Cracka. Uh, well, you could --
MORGAN: There's no e-r, right? It's --
JEANTEL: No, it's a A at the end.
MORGAN: C-r-a-c-k-a?
JEANTEL: Yeah! And tha's a person who act like they're a police, who like, uhhh, security guard who actin' like... That's what I said to them, "Trayvon said, 'Creepy ass cracka.'"
I hadn't heard the police connotation before. According to the Urban Dictionary, "cracka" refers to "white people". It took me until the 11th definition to reach "also used for police". Then I started to run across some entries that support that.
However, if Martin believed him to be A SECURITY GUARD, then her story about him being a RAPIST is BULLSH!T. Can't be "both". Also, she fades out in the above reference (who's acting like... that's what I said to them).
WHAT ELSE DID SHE TELL MARTIN ON THE PHONE? IS SHE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE THUG FIGHTING ZIMMERMAN?

1) light: informal word for Cracker; a white person,

That court reporter definitely earned her money typing out all Jeantel had to say!
And this is where Morgan failed, knowingly or stupidly.
During the trial, Don West asked Jeantel what a "creepy ass cracker" was. She responded: "a pervert".
Morgan should have known that, and asked her to explain her change in definition.
I suspect that there is no subject on earth that Piers Morgan likes to talk about more than creepy ass crackers.
