Secondly, If Jesse Jackson Calls This Free Speech, And Music And Movies Use The Word, Why Does This Domain Censor It When It's Typed, But Honky Is OK To Type Here?
That Is Very Odd....
Is It Ethnocentrism, Or Flat Out Racism Towards Caucasians By This Domain?
This Is An Honest Debate, No Racism Implyers Need Answer.

I'm surprised that you want to consider "honky" a racial slur. I will never comprehend why some peopple always want to be the victim. I will NEVER understand why white people are mad that most people feel that they can't use the N word. Maybe you should crack open a history book. or at least get a ninth grade education before talking about racism!
And Of course Nas has the right to, but I will never buy an album with such a derogatory title.

I have really no comment on your question and I agree with you but an interesting thing that brings to mind is the routine the late Lenny Bruce did about that if you can find it online somewhere.
Basically, it was that he wanted the president to appoint someone black to the white house staff and introduce him as his N, and several other similar things along that line so that the word lost its sting and became just another word and it would prevent some poor black boy from coming home crying because someone had called him a N in school.

Maybe it's because honkies werent oppressed for hundreds of years. White people weren't slaves. that's why we can use HONKY on here. Just as jews cry to this day about the holocaust, blacks cry about slavery. Sounds fair to me. In all reality, it is morally wrong to use that word, admit it. It is even stupider for blacks to use it in its slang form. Its like saying "only fat people and call other fat people fatasses." it's not right. It's not cool. It's not even smart.

Seriously, if the word is terrible for anyone to use it is terrible for everyone to use. Given the connotation I would be happy to never hear it again. I have multiracial children and they react quite poorly to anyone using that word, including rappers.
