Why is it ok for a black person to say "*****er" or "****ga" but when some one else of a different race says it they get jumped or somthing else like that.

Try as I might, I've never quite figured that out myself. Maybe we should go around calling ourselves things like Honkey, Cracker, Whitebread, or Ghost -- LOL!

I guess this is a popular thought tonight..
Go read this: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AtlTYsradWpyZcdB1HeM4Gfsy6IX?qid=20061229124636AAgiKCr&show=7#profile-info-92445efad0609180625550c11d0ab1f2aa
But as I said it there, I will say it here..
I can honestly say I have never used the N word in my life. I stay away from all racial slurs. Its posts like these, thoughts like these, etc. that set the world back. If people just dropped the "*****" and the "cracker" and other terms to separate colors things would be a lot easier in life. Life is hard enough as it is to worry about what color people are.

I hate it when people tell me hill billy jokes because I know they are making fun of the people I love. A hill billy can tell me a hill billy joke and that's okay. Maybe it is the same with black people. I don't think we should call anyone something that hurts their feelings anyway.

because of the history of the word. the last 40 years or so have taught descendants of Africans to be proud of their heritage. anything that sounds like racism is discouraged. as a white i think that's great. along with reparations, it means that we can now get on with life. and then, next time i see something bad, i can deal with you in an entirely good way.

I see a black female, and I always ask her "I hear it's all pink on the inside, is that true" for some reason, I get slapped after saying that.

THey fear black people who is stereotyped as a gangster but white boys are just 'wanna-bes' that just want to be like gangsters.
