CNN’s Piers Morgan enjoyed some of his highest ratings ever tonight, following up Anderson Cooper’s interview of George Zimmerman trial Juror B37 with an appearance by the prosecution’s star witness, Rachel Jeantel.

The combination was ratings dynamite, and millions of viewers not only heard Jeantel drop a bomb in the form of the N-word; she also explained the difference between the racist version and the non-racist variant.
Jeantel tells @piersmorgan the N word, with a 'gah' at the end is a nice term for any man. it is not a racial word.

"N" word must end w/ an "a" to be non-racist, Rachel Jeantel just said. @CNN

So Paula Deen's crime 27 years ago was using "er" at the end of a forbidden word instead of "a" ?? http://t.co/NrliORXm7H #insane

It's time for CNN to apologize to Paula Deen.

So confused, we can use the N word but only when we pronounce it correctly? @piersmorgan @CNN

Jeantel is giving people permission to use the "N" word as long as it ends in an a?? Sorry, still off limits. #PiersMorgan #Zimmerman idiot

As long as we’re asking, is “creepy ass cracker” really a compliment, as some have suggested?
Oh dear. RT @KatMcKinley: Piers Morgan is embarrassing. He actually just asked Rachel, "Is there an "er" on "cracker?"

Dying at Piers Morgan trying to find the meaning and the spelling of the word cracka!!
— Erica Sanchez (@Ericaashley123) July 16, 2013
"Cracka" means a security guard? I'm *in* her generation and I've never heard that. @piersmorgan #ZimmermanTrial

@BethanyBowra @piersmorgan I've lived in Florida my whole life and I've never heard the word cracker referring to a security guard

Casey Anthony's attorney tells @piersmorgan he's a cracker, been one for 70 years. The word means native Floridian, he said.
