Us white people are now the oppressed and it's effed up but that's the reality. There's so many double standards in our world these days. Was it Rosa Parks that wouldn't get out of her seat on the bus 'cause she didn't want to sit in the back? Now days, in my city anyway, black people ONLY want to sit in the back! What's with that?!

Is that the most pressing question on Yahoo! Answers?? Can we move on?
I guess many of these people who wonder why this is the case also wonder why blacks haven't "gotten over" the last 400 years, and when reminded of how some blacks were brutalized just for being black, they'll say "That was my great-grandfather, that wasn't me." The word, in its tone and inflection, has totally different meanings.Its a word that shouldn't be used, but it is, but there are a lot of words that shouldn't be used, either.
And to be honest, the words "cracker" and the term "white trash" was coined by affluent whites in the early days of this nation to make a class distinction between them and poor whites, so it wasn't Blacks that started that.

Becuz. The gaming wouldn't quite be the same. We're talking about white collar crime structure here. Not legitimate government. Most of those guys are flunkies. The others are the control group milked. Under that structure one can't do without the other. No one is supposed to know but the inducted. It'd fall apart fast. Hey .... that's an idea!!! Then we could be for real with one another! Just trim off the bums!

Is this such a pressing issue with you that you feel deprived because you cannot throw around the N'word, blacks should not use racial epitaphs either but whites did in slave Africans, and the black experience in the US is not smooth sailing all the way. You sound quite racially biased.

Who gets arrested, and after blacks make whites slaved for 300 years, and segregate for 100, then they can get in trouble... Do you realize segregation didn't end that long ago, if you honestly think whites don't owe them for all the crap that happened, your wrong...

I see it as reverse discrimination, but if you tried saying that to a black person it wouldn't fly, because they only see themselves as discriminated against.

For the same reason I can call myself a fat cow but I'll black your eye if you do. What we can call ourselves is not the same as what other people can call us without consequences.

They use the 'N' word when referring to each other, but I guess it's in jest or a compliment
