IT'S OKAY FOR A BLACK TO USE A RACIAL SLUR-BUT NOT OKAY FOR A WHITE?

WHAT ELSE IS NEW?


THE KUHNS REPORT


LAS VEGAS- Hello America, and how is the world treating you?

The George Zimmerman trial in Florida sure brings out some idiots . On the stand. The black 19-year old Rachel Jeantel who said she was on the phone with  Trayvon Martin at the time of the altercation testified that she thought race was an issue because "Trayvon put race in this." She said Trayvon Martin told her that " a creepy-ass CRACKER" was following him.

Guess what? Daryl Parks, the Martin family attorney said; "Some young people loosely use language they probably shouldn't use. IT'S JUST SLANG they use, " he said.

Whoa!!!!! A young black can call someone with light skin or a caucasian  a "CRACKER" but a young woman (at the time),  years ago, named Paula Deen cannot use the "N" word? Come On! One person in a particular race , in this case "black" can make a derogatory remark against a person but when a person from another race , White" uses a derogatory word against a black, that person is called a  RACIST, a  BIGOT. Where's the parity, the equality? Where's the  justice? Hey, both used the words when they were under threat of death. What's the difference? People say a lot of things when they are under stress.

Folks, I have always maintained that  way back in the 40's 50's 60's and 70's  and even the 80's the "N" word was just a SLANG word for "Negro."It was a common reference, nothing more. What is good for one race is good for another. Each race had their words referencing one another. So I say, why persecute one person for using a SLANG word and make excuses for another race using a SLANG word. Boy, I guess it is in the eye of the beholder. Right?

Get a life people. What's in the past is in the past. Get over it. Don't try to rewrite history, AGAIN. And, that's my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.
