Why is it only racist when whites say something?

Because of slavery.

I think what the TC is asking is why it should be okay for you to call me a cracker since I'm white (or any other racist saying directed towards white people) but then if I were to call you a "spic" since you're hispanic, I would be deemed a racist. This is just my view on the TC's original post.

Just to be safe, I wasn't calling you a spic or trying to be racist in any way, I was purely making an example.

i dont say it.

but i say we ban all racist words.

A few months back in school, I was walking through the halls and a bunch of black people were just calling each other the N word and saying it nonstop. So some white kid comes buy and calls his friend the N word. The black kids start freaking out like someone just shot their grandma. No joke. It's starting to become rediculous. I guess racist words only have an affect when another race uses them.

That sort of makes sense... except if someone called me a cracker (I'm white), or any "racist" term towards whites, I'd probably just laugh at them. I dont know why, but I just wouldnt get offended by racist abuse toward me.

the N word is a black people word we dont want no other race to use and i dont mind hispanics sayin the N wordYoungGun13

Imagine that... A race of people claiming a word and getting upset when another race uses it. There's a word for that too, it's called racism.

Saying that... I'd probably laugh because of how ridiculous it is to try to offend someone because of the colour of their skin.

Glad your generation feels like that. We'll lick this whole racism thing in our lifetimes, I hope.

Most ridiculous thing I have ever read.

Here's just a music example. So I was listening to G N' R Lies today and thought of all the controversy that the songs One in a Million and Used to Love Her recieved while a rap group like N.W.A gets praise for being far more sexist, racist, and cussing almost every other word. PsychoT4Prez

I mean that your generation doesn't see race like older generations do. saying "it's ridiculous to try to offend someone because of the color of their skin" is something previous generations could never say.

So the truth is a self contradiction?

Fact is, if black people keep saying the word, they encourage all races to keep saying the word (especially kids.) They keep the word alive.

A race can't "own" a word.

That's bull.

It's still the same word. It came from the same word.

And, again, A RACE CAN NOT OWN A WORD

And you can't stop anyone else... Unless you do it by force, which is against the law.

im not tryin to stop any1 im jus sayin wat i think

I know what you are saying. It's like when the white man who was paralyzed was dumped out of his wheel chair by black officers. We all know what would have happened if the races were reversed. Reverse racism is prevalent in America.

I still think we've reached a point where it has been pretty well marginalized, though. It is never going to go away completely. There will always be racial tensions, but I think we're getting to the point where it isn't THAT bad.

Am I the only one who gets offended when he's called a cracker? It's just... I eat crackers. :? jaydough

You ate him?

It's impossible for blacks to hate whites. All black people love white people. It says so in the New York Times. :)

BTW N word with the ''er'' is the term that came from the root of the spanish word negro meaning black....YoungGun13
