I've never heard the word honkey before. Cracker I have but I just think it sounds dumb but not really offensive. Then again, it's never been said to me in an offensive way. I have been on the receiving end of racism and it's not fun so I can understand why some words just shouldn't be used.
An in-law of mine was called Spook for his whole entire life because as a child he startled or "spooked" really easily. (he's white) No one knew that this was a racial slur until one day when a stranger got really upset because when they heard someone call for Spook they thought they were calling them names. Needless to say, he doesn't go by Spook anymore. It's kind of awkward not calling him that tbh.
This has had me perplexed for some time. In no way am I racist, but this just seems stupid. If some non-white person (Mexican, Black, Korean, etc.) calls a white person honkey, he doesn't think twice. He just says "meh...", but if you call a black guy the 'N' word, they completely freak out and go berserk. Again, I'm not racist, but this is a very perplexing topic to me.
I'm white, French Canadian to be exact, and I honestly don't care if someone calls me honkey. I understand that it is offensive, and that's why I would never say it to save my life, but it just seems so stupid. Now, 'black' is derived from the Latin word 'negro', and in Spanish, negro is how you say black.
'La copa es de color negro.' = 'The cup is black.'
It's all so strange to me, I just don't get it.
It's because black people are discriminated against in out society, in ways much worse than being called "niggers."

It's like a circle-jerk of family values, Christianity and nationalism.
Slaves still exist. Blacks enslave their own race, and were actually doing it long ago. Look to Haiti for a recent example of modern slavery. But a majority of African Americans are indeed ignorant, they follow color blindly. They're hypocritical, and put so much admiration into materials items. They're also easily influenced (mainstream), and stereotypical. I'm not racist, but anyone who studies sociology/cultures knows exactly what i'm talking about. So, I call it as I see it.
They still want pity, and they use the law, or "the man" in order to get it. Someone said the term word ******? Blasphemy! They raise up, kill, steal, assault, and simply destroy anyone that uses this word -- except themselves. Ever notice how African Americans use media to justify their rage? They realized long ago that the squeakiest wheel gets the grease. They cry "big bad wolf" whenever a white man uses this word. They use media as their savior, and they never learn from their hypocrisy.
I'm not afraid to call a ******, a ******. I'm a firm believer in the concept that you can be a ******. Just because you're black doesn't make you one. The same way I view White people and Rednecks, or Hispanics and Wetbacks. Each race has its own stereotypical and ignorant sub-community.
Their influence on society as a minority, is disgusting. Did you see the 92% Black Vote Election Results for Obama? How many of them didn't vote based on policy? Ever asked a "typical" African American about Obama's policies? They're clueless most of the time. Ever notice that they're allowed to have their own TV station called "Black Entertainment Television?" Whens the last time you saw a black comedian NOT include racial tension or black history into their performance? Whens the last time you saw those same comedians not pick fun at white people?
These are very real things happening, and they're frequent.
Pity Train is over.
Gary, Indiana = Terrible Place. High Black Population. High Crime. High Murder Rate. Big Gang Territory.
Detroit, Michigan = LOL. Same as above.
Africa = Don't even get me started.
Those numbers regarding crime rate, even as a minority. That speaks volume.
Truth Hurts, and it doesn't have to be racist to say it.
To me it's just a word that describes a black person. It's the same way I describe a handicapped person as "retard". I don't MEAN to offend either of thoose 2 when I say the word, but they are the ones who choose to be offended when I say it. I have plenty of black friends, some of them mind and some of them don't. But simply saying the word "******" or "retard" doesn't mean that you disrespect either of thoose two.
But there are other ways to describe a black person. Rather than using a term which was formerly offensive and condescending (of course I'm talking about ******), you could use a term that has no offensive twinge to it, like African-American or black. For the word "retard", you're using a term that was formerly non-offensive and politically correct, and is now seen as offensive to a lot of butthurt people. The opposite case is true for the two words, I don't think it's fair to compare them so closely.
This! Zing, zing! If you can't see and understand this, then you might be woefully unintelligent.
Actually to be fair, the slaves were taken by their own people and sold or traded away. Granted at the time they probably didnt know what would become of them.

Black People were enslaving each other at the same time White people were transporting them by ships to America. The only difference is that there was more White people enslaving Blacks than Blacks enslaving Blacks. The irony of it all is that the blacks started their own enslavement.

If you can't be bothered to read my post stating how that is an invalid argument, then you might be woeful unintelligent.
Like I said, every slave who once lived is dead, young people were never enslaved, so that's no excuse for them.

So it is irrational for modern day Jews to be offended when people make jokes about the holocaust, burning them in ovens and praise Hitler? You should be ****ing ashamed of yourself for wondering why people get offended.

News flash, the 'N' word is a phrase, 'Holocaust' is the mass genocide of the Jewish religion. Big ****ing difference.
****ing honkey, go back to sipping your ****ing tea.

punching sheep like it's 1.6.6
Apparently every white person is a teas sipping honkey.
EDIT:
Now I want some tea. >.>
This is similar to how 'gaijin' (foreigner) is a kind of slur in Japanese.

If they have so many problems, why worry about the small things?

Stop being such overly politically correct morons and learn to stand up for equality.
The slavery excuse is stupid, it happened a long time ago and none of us here had anything to do with it.
I would never call a black person ******, nor would I want to be called a cracker.
Equal rights ftw, nobody gets special treatment.
THANK YOU!
Somebody finally get's what I'm saying.
