So I am sure this has come up already but maybe not about this topic.
I understand this word that he used repeatdly is probably one of the worst in our language, however why can black people take such offense when they say it to themselves? There were people in the audience who kept heckling and calling him honky which I am sure fueled his anger. However, what he did was not justified at all.
Also why is not as big a deal for black people to call a white person, honky or cracker or other racially profiling comments, not even just against white people but also racially derogatory comments towards mexicans as well as asians or visa versa.
What he did and said was uncalled for, but isn't it just as bad to do it to everyone? An apology can only go so far. Wouldn't it be wiser to address the issue of racism in general, and focus on equality and not just focus on the black race?
