Honky tonk and honkey are 2 different words. One refers to a type of music the other is a slur on an unprotected racial class. Honkey as a slur is pretty much equivalent to porch monkey as a slur since they both derived from the same racist actions of drive by offenses by whites before and during the Civil rights movement.

The issue is that white ppl are allowed to be discriminated against openly yet will be banned and deplatformed for using racial slurs against other races. It's either equality for ALL or free speech for ALL.

If I can't drop the hard R for a players nickname then I'm not okay with the use of the word honkey to define the token white guy on defense. If I can drop the n bomb then sure I'll allow it and we are both equally free to say what we want..

It's not a racial issue, it's a double standards issue.

I don't think it's that Honky badger is offensive but the issue is it's obviously a derivative of a nickname for another player. If he has a nickname it needs to be original. Being a derivative of another player cheapens it IMO

You would be totally correct if the name wasn't so damn awesome. What a solution is he could have two nicknames. an original one and this one

No they aren’t.

Also, if you can’t see the difference between what is known as “punching up” and “punching down” then YOU ARE THE PROBLEM.

Also, no white person was ever held back in any way due to the connotations of a slur like “honky”. The slur “honky” didn’t come with an entire race being bought and sold and worked to death as property or 200+ years of oppression.

Just how fricking clueless are you that you can’t see there is a huge difference between the two?

BS. It's a racial issue, and it's not even close. I'm not going to give your rant the response it deserves because this isn't the Poli board. But suffice it to say that this lilly-white "honkey" who grew up in the south, lived through forced bussing and went to majority minority schools his entire life sees nothing wrong with the word "honkey" and sees everything wrong with the n-word. It's not a matter of equality when one side of the argument has never been considered equal. Want to argue? Meet me on the Poli board.

Oh you just stirred the hornets nest. Now you are going to be called Mr CRT on this board for bringing up the actual facts of the history of this country instead of allowing those “certain types of people” to whitewash is so they don’t have to face the reality that most of their ancestors were pieces of shite and that maybe, just maybe, they learned a few of their own traits from those piece of shite ancestors.
