Zimmerman Prosecution Star Witness: 'Cracker' Not a Racial Term

Prosecution star witness Rachel Jeantel, the 19-year-old to whom Trayvon Martin was reportedly speaking while he was being followed by George Zimmerman, admitted again on the stand on Thursday that she had changed her testimony about Zimmerman’s words. Originally, she told police that after Martin asked Zimmerman why he was following him, Zimmerman answered, “What are you talking about?” Later, she changed that to, “What are you doing around here?”





As Kathi Belich of WFTV reports, “The first answer could indicate #Zimmermanon9 was not following Martin. The second answer could indicate he was following.”

Jeantel then testified that she had a friend write a letter to Sybrina Fulton, the mother of Trayvon Martin, stating that Zimmerman had said, “What are you doing around here?” According to Jeantel, the letter was signed “Diamond Eugene.” While Jeantel said in testimony that she heard Martin say “get off me,” the letter made no mention of that.


Jeantel also said that she remembered Martin family attorney Benjamin Crump asking her whether the case was racial, and answering yes. Only one problem: that wasn’t in the recording Crump provided the defense.

Jeantel said she didn't believe "cracker" was a racial term, after testifying yesterday that Martin said that a "creepy ass cracker" was following him.

I'll just bet that there are a whole bunch of other words that she thinks are racial terms.

Where and when I grew up the word "cracker" was used as a description for a racist White person and not for White people in general.

Your full of shit. The word cracker is a racist term period - blacks do not make any distinction as to what it means other than it's derogatory racial implications. Where I grew up the word ****** only ment blacks that were designated to be racist - give me a fucking break.

Cracker is absolutely a racists term and it was used in a racist vein by the witness.

What is disturbing is that a young kid was hunted and executed (by a man who was determined to confront who he thought was a thug)... and the only term she can come up with is cracker? Fucking dude got executed. Her reaction should have been 1,000x more severe.

 

[Katzndogz]

If we treat racist remarks equally Paula Deen should get all her jobs and endorsements back.

 

[ScienceRocks]

The kid was a street thug! How hard is this to get through your head?

He had chains
made gang signs
and was walking around as a gangta!!!

I bet he'd drive a low rider too.

She said this in private and it was a long time ago...Yet somehow this is more important then the Chicago violence. serious????

 

[TheSeventhTiger]

well, Paula Deen is more like a double stuffed Oreo Cookie. {and why the hell did they jack the price of those cookies up??} I remember when they were about 2.00/2.50 for a 16oz pack, now they retail closer to 3 or 4 dollars. and u never see them on sale 2 for 1.

If you had actually read the OP, you would have known that she was claiming that Travon called Zimmerman a "creepy ass cracker".

That "poor innocent child" was the one throwing around vulgar racist terms. Not Zimmerman.

Because Obama had all that money printed; the more you print, the less it's worth. You know the liberals love their race cards. If they forgive her they have to fold.

And Georgia too:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cracker_(pejorative)

I see plenty of pejoratives, why did you pick these?

or I guess one could say-

Cracker
(US) a poor Appalachian or poor Southerner, a white person, first used in the 19th century.[52] It is sometimes used specifically to refer to a native of Florida or Georgia, sometimes positively or self-descriptively.

that this then allows one cracka to call another one same with no pejorative intended or taken, like blacks call each other ni**a... if a white person called a black person a ni**a its just the same? ....

Cracker came from whites cracking their whips on the backs of their black slaves. Calling a white person a cracker implies that they are of the slave owning mentality.
