Rush Limbaugh Gives Himself Permission to Use the N Word
LIMBAUGH: Stick with me. Keep your eyes on the radio. CNN informs us via Rachel Jeantel that Trayvon called Rachel and said that he was being followed by a “creepy ass cracka,” which we have now learned, that is a person acting like they are a police, like a security guard. So then, Piers Morgan, the ever-penetrating inquisitor, said, “So was there anything you wished you’d said when you were in there?” meaning as a witness on the stand.

JEANTEL: Nigga.
MORGAN: Why?
JEANTEL: People, the whole world say it’s a racist word. Mind you, around 2000, they changed it around, I think. It starts spelling “n-i-g-g-a.”
MORGAN: What does that mean to you, that way of spelling it? What does that word mean to you?
JEANTEL: That means a male.
MORGAN: A black male?
JEANTEL: No, any kind of male.
MORGAN: Black or white?
JEANTEL: Any kind. Chinese you can say “nigga.” That’s my Chino, “nigga.” They can say that.

LIMBAUGH: This was between 9 and 10 pm last night on CNN, who is in a quest to become the, again, most respected news organization in the country, perhaps even in the world. So, “nigga,” with an “a” on the end, well I think I can now. Isn’t that the point? ‘Cause it’s not racist. That’s the point. I could be talking about a male, a Chinese male, a guy at the Laundromat. I could be talking about a man. That’s what she said it means.
