Just heard it on the radio, so no link. But they were yelling anti-white racial slurs like honky, cracker, white mother......, etc.

So, a couple of questions:

(1) why wouldn't the mainstream media report that? I heard nothing about it all day, until they played some audio on a conservative radio talk show.

(2) Is anybody here okay with the obvious double standard? A white person's whole life can be destroyed if they admit they used the N-word 20 years ago after they were the victim of an armed robbery, but the media will largely turn a deaf ear to dozens of people chanting racial slurs when they're directed at white people?

Anybody think the blatant double standard is justified?

No white person is actually offended by being called honkey or cracker.

Everyone is pretty numb to the double standard. Black people can use racial slurs on each other and other races. No one else can.

That's 2014. I personally don't care. I don't use racial slurs because it's trashy to use racial slurs. Not because I can or can't get away with it.

Of course it is if the story is true. It has always been a double standard for as long as I can remember.

They insist they can't be racist. It's a well known doctrine in the black community that it is impossible for them to be racist. Plus the media gives them a pass because they insist it's white people's fault they are in the situation they are in so this is a form of white people repentance.

Divide & Conquer, it's all part of the progressive (Neo-Communist) plan. "Top down, bottom up, inside out", Van Jones' (self avowed communist and partner of Barry Soetoro AKA Barack Obama) mantra.

Those aren't racial slurs. They're compliments.

I talked to a girl from Michigan (white) who went to Southern for a couple years. She described to me what she would go through on a daily basis and I couldn't believe how she could stomach the amount of vitriol thrown her way everyday. Even after all that time she told me she couldn't understand why they would treat her the way they did. I couldn't understand how she couldn't see that she was treated that way because of the color of her skin.

What is a honkey? Crackers are delicious.

I'm offended that I've never been called one in real life.

I'm the perfect mix of swamp cracker and beach honky.

I love it and everyone who isn't jealous of me, should be.

I don't understand the outrage over this "double standard."

I'm really not itching to use the n-word and similar slurs, so I don't really care.

If you're a borderline celebrity, "famous for being famous" type, sure. A regular person? No. I've used the word, you've used the word. We've all used the word.

So fricking what?

Quit bitching. Your whining about the "double standard" is as pathetic as any black whining about racism.

Does it have to bother someone to be considered racist?
