Well, living in Florida, I can say that’s true, but she sure didn’t mean it as a compliment. When a black person calls somebody a cracker here in Florida, they’re not referring to cowboys.
Exactly right. As a native, there are distinctions... and don’t forget the demographics of the jury hearing this - they will know the nuances in Seminole County.
I think she with what she said, helped the Zimmerman defense yesterday. Had a very hard time understanding her.
The non-pejorative use seems to imply that one is a native-born Floridian.
I doubt that’s what Trayvon Martin meant when he described George Zimmerman as a “creepy-ass cracker.”
