In this situation (how the term was used between Rachel Jeantel and Trevon), I DO NOT view this as a racial slur, it (to me) is more of a reality slur.
In regards to Zimmerman using the word "c00ns", I listened to the 911 tapes (evidence) and I never heard that. I heard him say "those assholes always get away" and "punks", not racial.
Here's what happened: Trevon approached Zimmerman for following him. Zimmerman started getting worked and Martin saw the gun, once he saw the gun he tried to get it and Zimmerman shot him.
Zimmerman shouldn't have been carrying a gun, even though it's his "right".
