it has to do with the thickness of the skin, sweetheart. i don't think we should use racial epithets, though.

Truly I have no Idea.It does not make it right.It' s a fact though when a white person makes a racist comment it's heard around the world If a blk person does the same it's like well you were in slavery so it's okay you can make all the racist remarks cause you've been through hell.I realize in America this is the norm and no one has respect for anyone's culture and It's a shame.Blks say what they say and whites say what they say.There is no darn respect as human beings and this is why America is suppose to be the country of the free and brave yet there are so many hurtfull things that go along with that.

because as a society our culture is shifting
we used to care when a "black" person called a "white" person a racial slur but then it got our whole country in trouble
so now when it's the other way and we can't care because we were unfair in the first place

When it's the other way around, people do care. Maybe though, white people don't get so vocal about it because they're more secure with their position in society, and because they don't figure they'll receive any special treatment if they complain.

Number 1
No one should call another a racist name
Number 2
I have evry right to get angry if someone calls me a ****** because I don't use the word for other black people myself

I believe people do care. If we are going to stop the hate and mistrust, there has to be respect and tolerance on all sides. Anyone who uses racial slurs, whether black or white, is just contributing to the problem and wearing their ignorance on their sleeve.

I think people are just more sensitive to whites racism against blacks b/c it's been the cause of so much terrible stuff in our history.

Controversial issue, I see it as everyone needs to take responsibility for their own actions.but it seems to me whites are still being blamed for things that happened over 200 years.

Because black racism always gets a pass in post-American America.
