Shouldn't racism be unacceptable all the time? If i were to go into town and call an african american "the n word" and responded by calling me a honkey or a cracker... wouldn't in essence, those be equally bad. Why is it that racism is tolerated, and hatred of a person simply because of color is looked down upon if a white american does it, however accepted and looked past if a person in a minority should do it?
by the way, the basic answer of "slavery" is not an excuse. Slavery was horrible, there is no doubt it that, however THIS generation has nothing to do with that, racial hatred should be unacceptable ALWAYS, not in certain situations or when by certain people.
