## Transcript

Tell me, first of all, your reaction to the fact that George Zimmerman was acquitted. Disappointed, upset, angry, question, and mad. Do you think that that was racially motivated or more a case of somebody he thought was a young thug? Black or White. It was racial. Let's be honest. Racial. If you were white, if he was white, Trayvon was white, and he had a hoodie on, would that happen? The jury, well the juror tonight, made it clear that the jury never really discussed race as being a motivating factor here. Imagine, they're White. Well, one Hispanic, but she stuck in the middle. Five White women on the jury, and one Hispanic lady.

Yeah. I had a feeling that it was gonna be a not guilty. Let's, let's talk about creepy ass cracka. People have said that that is a phrase used by Black people, cracka, to describe a White person. Is that true? No. Like I said. How do you spell it first of all? Cracka. Well you could put it. There's no E- R. Right? No. It's a A at the end. C- R- A- C- K- A. Yeah. And that's a person who act like they're a police, who like a security guard, who acting like. That's what I said to them. Trayvon said, Creepy ass cracka. It means he thought it was a policeman or security guard. Yeah, acting like a policeman and then he keep telling me that the man is still watching him.

What is your view of George Zimmerman? Weak. Scary. Hiding from his Father. Why do you say that? If you were a real man, you would of stand on that stage and tell what happened.
