True, they don't make it known, but should you have to complain about everything all the time. But the simple fact that most (not all) people dont feel that its wrong calling a white person a racial derogitory remark, and calling any other race an equal remark is unexcuseable. Take an example, if you saw that a group of white people were complaining about the words "cracker" and "honkey" etc were being used on television and they were protesting then most people would think they're crazy, right or wrong? The simple fact is that there is a double standard, and god damn it dont say im racist here. Whites can be trashed to no ends of the earth, its becoming as if theyre a joke topic now. But to make fun of a minority is a crime. Sorry, but I get offended if I'm called a cracker or white trash, because its a derogitory remark. Yes there are worse things you can call me, but putting me down isn't really high on my list of things to tolerate.

Whether the people complain about it or not, people advocating racial harmony and rights should see every side of the table. Do you think that calling white people crackers and honkeys is really helping race relations?
