I'm waitin' for the heckler's appology for using the "C" word.

I never understood why black folks user the word "Cracker" to denigrate any white person.
Isn't the origin of the word a reference to people from Georgia?
Call me a cracker all you want. I ain't from Georgia. Means nothing to me.
My wife was watching some morning show, I think it was "Today" and they were interviewing two of the hecklers. Naturally they have a lawyer now too. But one of them said something that made me laugh out loud at the utter stupidity and thoughtlessness of it.
The interviewer asked him about the comedian's right to free speech. The fool said "I think there ought to be limits on free speech." Sure buddy, your limits, right? As in, you can call anyone you want racist, or any other slur... But if someone says something you find offensive? Oh, we need money to compensate us, we need a public apology, we need to litigate so that no-one can hurt my feelings again. Grow up...
Part of the blessing of living in a country that supports and allows free speech is that you get to run your mouth off about anything. The downside is, you have to put up with other people running their mouths off too. I don't like what the comedian said. I'd agree with the heckler he wasn't being particularly entertaining or funny. But you have to support to the death his right to free speech being equal to your right to free speech.
Most white people are not that insecure to give a crap about some racist calling them the "C" word.
That's the difference between Richards comments and the heckler's racism.
Whites could care less.
