I remember way back when Def Comedy Jam was first aired on HBO, a lot of white people were upset at the content of some of the comedians' performances. I distinctly remember that one man said "if it was any other group of people talking like that, it would be considered a hate crime." At first, that seemed ridiculous to me, but the more that you think about it, the more it rings true.
Black people, I have found, can be very racist towards others, but will not allow others to behave the same way. Seems to me, that some of us are living in glass houses and throwing boulders. I can't count how many times I have heard some of my friends and relatives use racial slurs, which I will not repeat, towards others. But, those same people will fight, scream, and shout if they even think that they heard someone whisper the N word.
