Rachel Jeantel on Piers Morgan and Linguistic Evolution
Rachel Jeantel, a witness in the Zimmerman trial, appeared on Piers Morgan's program to discuss the modern usage of racial slurs. She argued that the version of the N-word ending in "a" has evolved into a non-racist term for any male, regardless of race, while the version ending in "er" remains offensive. An anecdote is shared regarding a misunderstanding of the "N-word" referring to Nicole Brown Simpson during the O.J. Simpson trial.
