why is it that its more accepted in society if a black person makes a racist comment against a white person. if it was the other way around there wud b an uproar! like wen a stand up comic, black guy for example, makes a comment about white trash, no one bats an eyelid. I AM offended by white jokes, i dont have anything against anyone or ridicule them in any way about there color, y is it ok for them to do it to me? wen i was in a nightclub the other night, a black guy made a joke about white trash, yeah he was kidding ut thats not the point, if i had made a joke to him with the word n***a in it, u reckon he wud nt of minded? like hell.

Sign of the times.Speaking up gets one branded as a hater.But it is true.There is a double-standard these days.

There is racism in all colors, some of it is rediculous. Some of it is right. If you dont want to be made fun of then dont make fun of others. It is not OK if they use slurs against any race and then stand and shake a fist if someone else does it in reverse. There are things that bother people, I have been asked what about The B.E.T. network. If someone were to start the White or anglo entertainment network would other ethnic groups get mad? OR what about the latin grammies whats up with that? The regular grammies are not racist why do they have to have their own? The list goes on but the thing today is hat there is a double standard out there. Some can say and do what they want while others have to walk on egg shells because of what happened generations ago.
I believe in one race THE HUMAN ONE. there are differences in people because of where their ancestors came from but doesent that make this world a better place. Some day we will all get over this whole race thing and then the world will be a better place. Then all we have to do is let each religion be and not use our beliefs as reason foe war and killing and then and ONLT THEN we shall truely be free.

It's probably because black people actually do something about racism while white people just whine about it online but never organize even a simple letter writing campaign. they're just scared or lazy.
The closest thing whites have is white supremacists who actually want to increase the amount of racism, just in their favor, not defeat racism entirely.
When white people get off their collective asses and start showing some effort this sort of racism will stop.

White comics make jokes about black people all the time, and blacks are not offended? Why?
BECAUSE THESE COMICS DON'T DROP 'N' BOMBS ALL OVER THE PLACE.
I've been to comedy clubs and you have white comics who make fun of all races. And when they poke at blacks, it's no big deal because they are not talking crazy sh*t like yelling 'monkey', 'jungle bunny', 'darkie', etc.
These particular white comedians don't use the word 'n*gger' to describe black people, either. The white comedians that use these particular words are the ones who catch heat and are all over the news. Why do they have to use these words? You don't have to hate others to have a little fun.

understand this : in the society we live in today there are black subcultures, in general, that are taught that all whites are racists. this is a misnomer.....we aren't - look at this link and wonder why "whites" didn't cause an uproar... i'll tell you why: we are tired of the racist card that the black racists continually play and by not giving these racists a platform to spew their rhetoric from maybe it will slowly fade away.

First of all you said "reckon". Automatic racist points. Second, who cares, they're just words. I think that you do have a point but that's just the way it is. How do you think black people felt when we couldn't vote, drive, marry, worship, speak are native tongue? Just be cool. Soon the world will be full of TAN people. Then we can all have a BBQ.... I reckon.

It will only be a problem if you continue to be the victim. Their have been white comedians who say the n-word on stage (it gets bleeped out on TV). You know why no one cares? Because they are comedians, they are supposed to clown around.

Yeah, racism is wrong no matter who's mouth it comes from. Just be glad GOD isn't a racist.

racism is bad in all aspects but what can you do thats just the way it is its being going on for as long as i can think back and nobody has been able to do anything about it .
The best you can do is just ignore them and not to stoop down to their level.
