haha I forgot about Uncle Ruckus and is "revitiligo" lmfaooo
New season tonight!!!!
We see it on TV and in the movies everyday. A black comedian or a black sitcom or a black movie. They move directly into bashing on whites, calling them honkies, crackers and other derogatory terms. Often times they'll have whites appear to be ignorant about the world around them and so on.

So, should this be allowed or is this another type of racism? Should whites be allowed to launch all white networks, such as WET, that target their jokes towards blacks?

Sure, historically these things did happen; but currently do not. No one alive today has had to face that if they were born in the US.
Is it really different Maggie?...However, if a black individual were to come into my neighborhood and begin to scream the words honkie or cracker or another derogatory term and the whites were driven to anger we would more than likely be seen as comitting a hate crime against the black or incited us as the majority of jurisdictions do not view those words as being inflammatory even though they have pretty much the same meaning.
Is it a double standard? Yes, it is in my mind.
Let's move this a little further though, to maybe bring it home a little better. Have you ever seen a caucasian child grow up in a majority minority area, to be the only caucasian? This child is subjected daily to the attacks from the minority children utilizing the very words that we laugh at. These child who will taunt the caucasian are never charged with a hate crime, they are only told to knock it off at best. However, let that little caucasian child slip one time and utilize the "N" word or call a Mexican child a "spic" or an Arab child a "towel head" and they will immediately be reprimanded for racism and potentially utilizing hate language.
We bust our behinds to teach caucasian children to not utilize these words and that everyone is created equal, yet the minorities that we have fought so hard to protect are the very ones that find humor in slamming the caucasian race. Remember, racism knows no race when it victimizes.
But most Blacks today have not had the same happen to them, I was born in 1962, I had nothing to do with the Dixiecrat racism of the south, I am from Cuba but I look white so I get treated like I am white from blacks. I hate being called a "spick" or shark bait or raft monkey, Yes these terms are used against cubans in south florida by blacks and whites, to tell you the truth I don't like the calling of names even in a joke, I think in demeans the person you are using it against. Sorry I thisnk it's in inappropriate to use in any setting.
It's okay for comedians to be racist if they're funny.

So, who is n ow forced to sit in the back of the bus, sleep in a different hotel, or drink out of separate fountains, or use a different restroom, or step off the sidewalk when a white went by....?

The reason there is now a big difference between nigger and cracker is that people today keep insisting that there is a big difference between the two. Racists.

But still, in my mind, there is no uglier word for a person than nigger. All the rest of the nicknames? Fair fight, in my opinion. But the word nigger was used on human beings who were treated, in many cases, less than human. They were owned no differently than if they were dogs. Slavery really is a terrible legacy. And nigger is the word that hammers it home.
Since this is evolving in a good way, except maybe for Rogan, let's talk about the other nationalities for a moment.
The Jewish race was & still is persecuted, at times other races committed genocide against them.
Irish were used to drain swamps in the south because the blacks we're to valuable. If a property owner sent in a black slave and they died of malaria while draining the swamps he lost his investment in the slave, but if he sent in an Irishman and he contracted Malaria and died then the property owner got out of paying him.
Chinese: Should we even begin to discuss how they were used to build the railroads and how the railroad companies treated them?
We're the blacks persecuted and the "N" word used against them? Yes, they were. Noone today is going to argue that.
Now, you might argue that the Jewish people managed to escape.
The Irish & Chinese we working paid jobs. And you will be right.
However, the blacks were given food & clothing. While they were slaves and they were owned by property owners, few were treated as badly as most would like us to believe. In fact, many seem to forget that slaves were viewed as property and while it was necessary to commit certain acts against them, they were an asset and it was widely known that if you physically abused them then their productivity would be lower because of the injury. For this reason alone many slave owners worked to provide reasonable living conditions. If they were treated so badly, why did so many of them stay on the very same plantations and continue to work as share croppers for the very plantation owners who allegedly abused them?
Is the "N" word offensive Maggie? Yeah, it is one of the most offensive words in our language to many. But don't be so quick to think it's the most offensive. Ask a person of Jewish descent what word they find most offensive. I'm betting you will get a different answer.

No, they can ridicule them on stage if they want, but physical violence solves nothing.
