If using derogatory terms based on skin colour is not racist, what is it?
A Black woman was testifying in the Zimmerman case and she said that she didn't think calling a White person a "cracker" was a slur. So "spook" and "*******" and "Shine" and "wog" should be ok up on MLK Blvd?
"cracker" is most definitely racist. What else could it be? Was a Black person ever called a cracker by a White person?
to ? I am not racist. I will not hold my tongue when I am placed in a distasteful group by someone else's blurred vision.

It is certainly racist and anyone who is willing to tolerate the use of those words is a black supremacist.

So, you're saying it's okay if a WHITE person claims not to know what a racial slur is, but not of a black person is ignorant?
"Cracker" is not descriptive of skin color. The rest of the ones you mention are. So yeah, it's possible that she didn't know.
The Zimmerman case is clear to me. A kid with a full college scholarship was stalked and murdered by a jackass racist white man who liked playing policeman but was too insane for any real police department to ever hire.
Take your racist BS somewhere else, okay? Zimmerman shot an unarmed kid. I don't care what anybody calls him, there are no words vile enough to describe him.

One ignorant person's dumb excuse for a racial slur doesn't make it right. Don't be ignorant yourself.
