What I don't understand why is it okay for someone to call me a honky or a cracker but if I utter the "n" word I am a racist? Why wouldn't they be racist considering the term honky or cracker.

They are! You don't have to be white to be a racist!

I don't think there should be a law forbidding racist remarks, I do think man should show some sort of restraint though. Racism is an ugly thing, But in the part of the country I live in I see it on a daily basis.

Because in our politically correct world, YOU, as a white man, especially if you are a Conservative Christian White Man ... are the enemy of the down-trodden. Open season has been declared upon YOU, Honky ... and you might as well get used to it! YOU have exploited the Indians. YOU have held slaves. YOU are responsible for the crack epidemic in the inner-cities. YOU are responsible for the suppression of women. YOU are the Anti-Christ. Get it now? Again ... get used to it, Honky.

Oh woe is me, the poor white honky. Just because I live in richville and don't like bums (poor people) in my neighborhood, you all call me prejudice. Woe, Woe, Woe!

But in our society today how many people are of a pure background. I am white but I am also native american (1/4). Does that entitle me to certain rants?
Not only does it entitle you to certain rants, but certain benefits as well. Hey, you should be collecting money for past tresspasses upon your people made by those devil White Christian Men. Oh ... and you could open a casino too.

Hey Mogie, look into it! I believe if you can prove that your 1/4 Indian, you are entitled to whatever benefits are bequeathed to that tribe! Hey you may be rich and not know it. I'm only 1/8 cherokee so I'm screwed! But hey, I can say I'm Native American!

In terms of the "N word", Everyone should say it, as much as they can. And to as many people as possible, until it gets played out (like a Celine Dion song). Then, maybe we can all move on.
I'm white but I do not fear the word, I can't in good conscience censor myself, So replace the above "N word" with "NIGGER". We all know that's what I meant anyway.
