I thought this was America 
Will blacks be arrested for blaring rap using the same word?

That’s a crime?
I'm assuming everyone who isn't in the FAFO camp didn't watch the video. After watching the video it was pretty easy to see the charges and arrest were warranted. I know it's hard to look at things in a vacuum and everyone wants to call apples oranges in the great victim olympics, but this is a case of FAFO. They FA'd, now they are FO.

I mean... that sounds like Disturbing the Peace to me
I would agree, but courts have ruled that your right to not feel offended does not supercede the free speech rights of the person speaking the offensive words.
OTOH, the loudspeaker likely presents a significant problem for the speaker. That issue likely tilts the case into a position of strength for the prosecution. Then the intentionally aggravating content would be considered.
My crystal ball shows that the defendant has the weaker position.

I actually think that the "offensive" part is a bit of a red herring on this one. The statute reads "offensive, derisive, or annoying words", "offensive or derisive name", and "intent to deride, offend, or annoy him". And you only need one of them. If I set up a loudspeaker across the street from someone and shouted that they are a "silly poopy pants" over and over again, I would fully expect to be arrested for Disturbing the Peace if it went on long enough.

Let me get this straight. The sheriff's department in a RED parish has arrested people for saying a racial slur?
How often do they arrest people for saying or broadcasting offensive things loudly?
It's like whites are designed to be conquered. lol

Are you idiots under the impression that black people don’t get cited or arrested for disturbing the peace or noise complaints all the time?
I could see a citation, but how often do blacks get cuffed and hauled into prison and have their mugs online just because they were loud and offensive?
