"Is race a big factor here in this recent murder?"

Some tweets believed to be from Edwards' account...:

"...In one outrageous tweet, Edwards writes: “90% of white ppl are nasty. #HATE THEM.”

In another, he claims he “knocked out 5 woods since Zimmerman court.” The word “woods” is also a derogatory term used to describe white people.

I remember hearing the term "peckerwood" in a skit on Saturday Night Live where Chevy Chase was interviewing Richard Pryor for a job and using a "word association" test. Pryor says it after Chase says a derogatory word.

Then:

Chase: Spade
Pryor: Honky honky!
Chase: (N-word)...
Pryor: Dead honky!

Chase: OK I think we have all the information we need.
Pryor: Yo' mama!...Yo' GRAND-mama!

And what does peckerwood mean? From Urban Dictionary: >>A peckerwood is a rural white southerner, usually poor, undereducated or otherwise ignorant and bigoted, the term gained popularity in the deep south during the early twentieth century and was meant to be derogatory. It is a reversal of the name of the red bellied woodpecker which had a patch of red on the back of it’s head and neck, therefore a peckerwood is a redneck, terms that describe similar groups of people are trailer trash or white trash but neither of those have the same effect or ring to them as peckerwood does.

“The world turn’d upside-down”-when blacks claim to owe “retribution” to random whites in retaliation for one man who defended himself the only way he could against a black thug trying to beat him to death.
