According to the ladies on the View and even after we buried the "N" word in New Orleans, it seems to be OK for anyone of Black or African descent to use the word in any form they choose exclusively.  Anyone Other Than Black (OTB) is banned from its use. 

My question then, if we are going to have a second standard of such, then is it only OK for Whites to use the term(s) "Cracker,".."Honkey,".."White Bread," etc?  Spanish folks can only use terms of their own, Italians, Polish, Germans, etc all have very specific titles as well.

When a city counsel meeting discusses things falling into a "black hole" ( missing or gone from view.. a scientific term EVERYONE understands) and a Black member asks for an apology for such a term because of outright race baiting.  Just who is it that is trying to bring back segregation these days...

Well we have to call them "African Americans" but they call themselves whatever they want but if we use the same terms we are supposed to be fired or fined. PC is killing our nation and clowns like these guys are at the top of the list!

If I am not mistaken the Mayor called his city a "chocolate city". Wonder what would happen if we started to call Orlando an "Ivory city"?

Double standard? Are whites the only ones who can be racist?

I agree with you.

Where I'm from we didn't have black Americans, most of the black people were right from Africa.. Talk about two different distinct people that have no touch with their African roots. To me it's just a poor me complex thats been passed through the generations, when they have the ability to end it. I over heard two black kids talking a couple months ago and everything ended in it was the white mans fault.. BS .. Guess it's easier to blame everyone else than actually do something.

Couldn't tell you why someone would mistake a comment about "A black hole" and associate it with a racist statement. You look at these guys dressed in their suits, and you would think they would be intelligent enough to know it only means the "tickets", or what ever was lost, were lost somewhere in the unknown. A black hole. LOL Still laughing over their stupidity!!! Don't they know they look stupid for saying it was racist?

...Who says "honky" or "white bread" anymore? That's like my mother's time, along with disco and platform shoes. By the way, many African Americans will tell you, "I'm not from Africa, I was born here. I am a Black American." The difference in their eyes is that an African American is someone who moved here from Africa and a Black American is a descendant of the Africans who came here from Africa years and years ago.

...Besides, it wouldn't be a "chocolate" city, toddt. It would be an Ebony City. Ebony and Ivory, get it?

No white people aren't the only ones who can be racist. I've met black people who hate other black people, I've met black people who hate multiracial people, and yes, I've met black people who hate (and I mean really hate) white people, but they had their reasons. "They did this and that to me" or "A white man did this". No excuse. Two dumb blondes lied to a judge and now my cousin is in jail, but I don't hate white people. I just dislike those two.

There are people like me who have some white blood in them. Somehow they got it in their heads that we "multiracial people" are superior to white and black people because we're both. In the future, (like a thousand or more years from now) everyone in the US will have our traits, light brown skin, dark hair, brown, blue, green or dark brown eyes. They only like other multiracial people, but hate people who are darker than them and distrust white people. Why I don't know. Phew...almost done.

There are still people who do blame white people for things, but their number are few. Don't let it bother yo

LOL Gammies!!
Abunai, that's why we have to write "the n word' but it's ok to write out entirely cracker, honky, whitebread, etc...
Good post.

But according to the "VIEW", I only mean it as a term of endearment....(right), look up the meaning of the word, unless their is now a dictionary for whites, and a different one for blacks???? the "n word" only has one meaning, and it's not endearing...

Just so we are all clear about how quicly the race card is pulled out......my wife is a teacher and also happens to drive a black car. I guess one of her students deicided to stir the pot a bit and tell her mother that her teacher (my wife) was racist because she drove a black car. So my wife gets called into a parent teacher conference and this was the subject of that conference.

What a joke!

I agree Abu.

We can never be "color blind" when we have "exceptions" to the rules.

I do not like the Black Entertainment TV anymore than i like the "White Entertainment TV, I do not like Black Miss America anymore than White Miss America.

Dr. King is rolling over in his grave.

I guess the bottom line is the intent of the statement and the size of the chip on one's shoulder.

I use to use Hyphenated Titles.... Unless the person is a foreign national and not then.

To get a good laugh and the truth go to Youtube and see the segments of comedian Chris Rock who talks about the N word and the difference between N's and Blacks... it is so true.

But this reminds me of the Planet of the Apes 2 or 3 where the Law of the land is that Humans get the death penality if they say "NO" to Apes.

I always say if the shoe fits.

There is no need to refer to "them" as anything. Why would you be referring to any group of people based on their color unless you are discussing what clothes go best with their skin tone?

If you need to say black or african american, maybe you are a racist.

The "N" word only becomes a double standard when it's okay for "N's" to call another "N" an "N," but it's not okay for a Rebel-Honkey-White-Cracker like me to use the term. Just like it would be racist if I were offended by someone who is black (or any other color for that matter) to call me a Rebel-Honkey-White-Cracker, yet not be bothered by being called that by another Rebel-Honkey-White-Cracker. I spent part of my childhood being THE minority.
I was a "Haole-Crap," out in Hawaii, because I was the only kid in my class with blond hair and green eyes. I KNOW what it feels like
to be ostracised because of the color of your skin. (or eyes and hair) But the terminology we have grown up with, and have seemingly grown accustomed to is perpetuated by those who seem to be the most outraged by it. Case in point: Rap Music. NO WHERE do you hear the "N" word more, than in the "music" written by the very people who claim the abhor THAT word so much. Why is that? BTW, Being called a "Cracker" isn't an insult to me, because I KNOW where and how the true meaning originated ! LOl

The "N" word refers to the character of a person...
The Machiavellian me, me, me!
Everybody wants to be a "N" nowadays anyways...
I CHOOSE not to be, character wise, I want to be bill cosby...

When I'm harassed I get called a "monkey"

Double standard?? One of MANY!! Remember when the NAACP insisted that we get more black CEOs because 99% were white? Well, many people on talk shows said "what about making the NBA 80% non black because we are 80% of the population!" Blacks immediatly said that was a racist remark. What about Black Miss America where whites are barred yet blacks win in the original Miss America? Ect, etc. Then on top of it all, whites are called the racists. Pretty soon if there are no seats in the back of the bus we whites will be waiting for the next one. Minority loans, minority business, minority quotas that keep white students out of college in favor of blacks with a lower IQ. And even "Houses for Habitat"!! How many go to whites. I ask again! Who are the racists????

pLOp25 wants to know "who are the racists?"

Are you trying to say that Blacks are?

How outrageous, toddt! I do know what you are talking about. I substitute, and see hatred in the classroom everyday. I was never a racist person, but being treated like I am treated in the classrooms, not because I am a substitute, but because I am white, I have to go home and reconstruct my feelings. One student admitted that he hated me because of my color. I had never met the kid before and told him I have never been a slave owner. I then asked him if he had ever been a slave. After a few seconds of thought, he looked up at me and smiled. He understood. One down, thousands to go. Nightmare, I commend you for your comments. I have to disagree with you, though, that the numbers are NOT few. I worry about our country. I want us all to be Free Americans, not African/Black Americans, White Americans, Hispanic Americans...but a country of free Americans.

You cant say that pLOp unless you have met EVERY Black person. Dont go by the media. I am not a racist so therefore your comment is false.

I didn't say every black person is racist. But, Jesse Jerkson, Al Sharpless and the NAACP are racism at its peak, amoung others.

Have all these blacks calling whites racist met every white person? What is one race using the "N" word OK while other races can't. Afelton are you agreeing that certain things should be OK for blacks and not whites. How many white women have entered Miss Black America contests?? Clue me in, where is all this racism today?? Please!
