I always heard it came from whip cracker, but no idea if true.

Honky? What's that about?


Honkey has a dual meaning

First is because others looks at whites like a bunch of clowns. They have those fake noses that honk.

Honkey is also an anti-Semitic slur by blacks as it is a reference to larger noses within the Jewish community

Kudos to her


7th grade is about the age kids start throwing terms around all nilly willy, also coincides with the same age people start looking at these young kids more so as young adults.

I mean it’s early but I don’t see anyone getting their panties in a twist. I don’t see why it’ll get whacked.

Apparently she also said that black people gave white people the right to say that word as long as it has the “a” at the end, but black people cant say cracka because whites never gave blacks the ok to do so. I seriously have never MET anyone who would get mad at that. Hell I’d laugh my arse off.

7th grade social studies teacher today lectured the kids about the origin of racial slurs and the colorful names for white people...such as cracker.

You don’t see how some parent/parents are going to get swole up? People get mad over school lunches but this is going to go away quietly? I’d be amazed.

I don't think so. Looking up "honky" it could refer to a number of things but certain coal miners were referred to as something similar.

Apparently Ben Franklin used the term to discuss unruly whites way back then.

My grandmother had a macaw since back when she had house maids and servants. It would say “cracker” all the time, and that’d make me and my sister laugh. One time when we visited during thanksgiving he said “n****r” and we were all stunned, except for my grandma who was laughing.

I wouldnt get mad. But I would tell them they are being racist. Just to see them get mad.
