Words have started wars and have power. It just amazes me how the left will give a pass to people who they support and attack people for the same thing they do not like. Look at Paula Deen, she said some slur some 30 years ago and its the end of the world, but someone uses a white slur and its no big deal even when a mans life is at stake.Ignorance. We give power to words.
Words have no power, people assume they do and get worked up.Words have started wars and have power.

White folks saying the n word to black folks, is like black folks calling white folks a cracker apparently.I am from the UK, so do not know about the case in question. I understand that the "N" word can be considered racist. I do not know why anyone would think "Creepy Ass Cracker" is racist - that makes no sense at all to me as it surely does not infer race, creed or colour in the expression. If I called a black, yellow, green, blue, white or orange person a creepy ass cracker, then I might be inferring sexual depravity or oddity rather than racist intent!

I think I am getting too old. A "cracker" used to be a pretty girl, as in "She's a Cracker! (lustful thoughts)".White folks saying the n word to black folks, is like black folks calling white folks a cracker apparently.
I think cracker is a funny name but some people get all riled up.

Speculation, we do not know what happened other than a scuffle and someone died."Stand your ground" is different than "Stalk and murder"
