Damn I was hoping this was a Good Bye CRAMER thread.
Quote from ElCubano:
of coarse not..... but where is the uproar when black comedians use the words "HONKY" when refering to honkies... cmon, a comedy club...are u serious....last time i went i made sure i wasnt anywhere near the front row...thats what they do there...rag on anyone they can get there hands on....
Quote from traderNik:
I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you simply don't understand the glaringly obvious fact that there is no comparison between a black man using the word 'honky' which no white person gives a damn about and a white man using the word nigger which is representative of the white man's enslavement of the blacks in America. You do recall that blacks were slaves and not allowed to drink at the same fountain as a white, pretty recently, right? Do you also recall that whites were not enslaved by blacks and that blacks did not chain whites and whip them, rape their women, cut their children's throats and call them honky?
Again... it's suggestions like this, that a black's use of honky is equivalent to a white's use of the N word, that undermines the apologists here. To suggest that honky is as racially charged as the N word is so absurd that one has to believe that anyone who suggests it knows it's a load of shit, but they're saying it anyway. At least try to make your claims using an argument that isn't blatantly wrong.
Cutten said it way better than I. Amazing that this post came right on top of his.
Quote from Pa(b)st Prime:
El Cubano is a minority himself who lives in a diverse, challenging neighborhood. tradernot would shit in his pants if he were a Cuban dude living in mellow Miami Roads next to a bunch of blacks.
Here's facts.
Since the black man was first enslaved in America he has killed more whites than vica versa.
Blacks have a much deeper, visceral hatred of whites than vica versa.
When a black utters socially acceptable words like honky or cracker he speaks with greater venom than when most whites say nigger.
Unless someone has lived in areas where whites are the minority they are clueless and ignorant to the fact that blacks commit crimes in numbers that would knock your socks off.
Personally I find calling someone a tag name a cheap insult. "Hey fatso!" How original. But we ALL use such terms. How many times does a woman cut us off and now suddenly become a "bitch" or "cunt."
Expecting people to contemplate the use of use language connotatively is onerous. I used "shine" in this thread. I guess there's now a dreaded "s" word also. Will the PC police please chirp in and tell me if there's any other banned words one should be aware of?
