jamusta... I am having a little trouble understanding your justiofication here... You are saying that "white" or "cracker" or "whitey" or "redneck" is some sort of code for only the evil whites and the rest of us should not be offended by the slurs directed at these evil whites?
So if we say the n word you should not be offended because we are talking about the criminal or lazy or "bad" blacks?
The porn industry treats women with disrespect so... It is ok for the rappers and hippity hoppers to do so? Yet... What I see is the porn industry paying every single woman that is involved and being attacked by every womens group to come down the pike yet... it is not ok to do so with this so called black poetry? they get a pass somehow and it is racist to call em on it?
Knowing you, I don't think you believe that but would be interested in what you think not justifications.
