Where did the term "honky" come from and what is the insult?

Sadly it was more than likely white liberals with white guilt yelling that. Shocking, I know..........

is as pathetic as any black whining about racism.


Um...that's a bit much of a blanket statement. Racism and racist do effect people.



I finally gave in the whole double standard of the use of n@gger.

You get no reparations for 200 years of slavery but you do get to continue to use the word n@gger and whites can not.

Done deal and we move on.

(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?



I don't know I mean it seems kind of lame for us to bitch about it. I make good money, work probably 20 hours a week, have a cool place, etc. Who am I to try and understand the frustrations of poverty, racial shite, etc.

As I get older (and hopefully more mature) the only thing that I can really get pissed off about is militant Islamists and their defenders.

There is no God. Stop beheading people and mutilating your daughters' genetalia in the name of something that doesn't exist, you ignorant twats.

I miss the Archie Bunker/George Jefferson days.
I laughed at Archie's prejudice, and I laughed at George's.
These days people take shite too seriously.
There is still and always will be prejudice.
It currently does not prevent anyone with the will to achieve from achieving.
The best way to handle it is to laugh about it.

Yes, it's a known fact that whites enjoy being physically threatened, harassed and verbally abused by blacks. It makes us feel a little easier about all the racial injustices our grandparents inflicted on blacks.

I had a job working in very poor, predominantly black neighborhoods a couple years ago. I was called every name in the book to my face. Honkey, cracker, white devil, white temptress. I had chicken thrown at me. It was awful. I was shocked. Lasted 3 weeks.

Because when white people went to pick up the colored folk back in the day to go to work, driver would pull up and honk his horn.

I am, you know where the word cracker comes from?

Add to that Sanford & Son, it was so great on both sides (black and white). Too bad those days are gone at this time. Maybe we will get them back some day?

And if they listened to O'Reilly tonite...they'll be throwing some racial slurs big time. O said that it has leaked out...that there will be no indictment; it was self-defense.

What I wonder is...just how much blood will be on the hands of Obama/Holder for flaming the whole tragic scenario?

They are if it is said in connection with a black person keeping them from having something they want, etc.
