This actually happened on CNN

Yesterday, CNN segued from the George Zimmerman trial to a discussion about the n-word and other racial epithets. The discussion devolved rather quickly into a multiple choice question posed to people in the street—cracker, honky or nigger. This actually happened on live TV. As in, yes, oh my God, what year are we in?
