    haha! Seriously, Does anyone think cracker is even in the realm of offensiveness or racism that the n word is? FCC doesn't. ALL that being said let's talk about Paula Deen. Did she use a racist term? Yes. Is she racist? I don't know her, but don't think so. It is how people act rather than what they say, especially when it is one word.

    For instance, if I was on an internet forum and there was an entire post dedicated to a posters "black obsession" I would be questioning more....can't think of who it was though...

    The evidence presented so far does not establish your assertion in the second sentence.

    In order to prove the state's case, the state has to prove that Zimmerman was a racist with a depraved mind.

    Yea nothing so far has been beyond a reasonable doubt. The most incriminating evidence so far, IMO, is GZ's 911 call. You hear him get out of the car and he admits he chases a running suspicious person. 1 minute after the call ends TM is dead. So if they were both eyeing each other, TM runs and GZ follows then is this instigated by GZ?

    My gut feeling tells me that GZ will get off.

    I was referring to Zimmerman's violent past. Not the incident with Martin.

    It has a much relevance as when people falsely thought G
    Z referenced black people as coons. TM's racist view of GZ as a cracker could have been his motive for attacking GZ.

    It does have as much relevance as people who believed GZ used the term coons.

    That amount of relevance = 0

    That sure wasn't the consensus of 99% of the Martin supporters around here.

    Mcmark is an insignificant wannabe trying to impress who he thinks are the cool kids.

    That girlfriend is quite possibly the worst example of American culture I have ever seen.

    Regardless of the outcome of this case what do we need to do differently to discourage anymore of our children from turning into that wreck of humanity?

    All I care about is the evidence in the trial about the incident that caused the death of Martin.

    What any Zimmerman or Martin supporters thought also doesn't really matter.

    The fact that Zimmerman said something that sounded like the word "coon" doesn't mean anyone who believed he said the word "coon" is bad or wrong for that. That is what it sounded like.

    In the end it probably wasn't what Zimmerman said and it isn't evidence in the trial, so it has zero relevance.

    That's urban black youth for you. Nothing out of the norm.

    Hell, that's what Obama's daughter would be like...

    What? I can't remember. Are you a troll?

    You have no idea what you're talking about if you think that's the norm of urban black youth.

    Obama never said his children would be like Martin, so you're just talking out your ass.

    If you're serious, then I feel sorry for you, and hope some degree of enlightenment finds you soon.

    If you're just a troll, then you don't matter at all.

    lol wow

    It's going to be bad for that defense attorney's business if he doesn't walk. Imagine if he had the lawyers who got casey anthony off, given this case.
