I don't agree with the point, lol, but that was what she meant. Feel free to correct me if I misunderstood southern

Cool. I can see how that's what she meant. My fault, southernelle25.

When I watched the footage on the news yesterday, it seemed as though the black people said "cracka" after he went on his tangent. That doesn't make it okay but it makes that "why's it okay for them and not us" retort even dumber. If the black people said "cracka" first, that still doesn't excuse him to yell "NIGGER" over and over again, but it makes the black audience members even dumber than I already think they are.

They did call him "cracka", and I agree with you 100%. Spewing the ignorance back at him did not help the situation or media fury at all. Watching that exchange (and the words across the screen) made me cringe all the way around.
