For starters, white people in general (meaning not every case) haven't had to deal with 400+ years of oppression, slavery, segregation, being second class citizens, etc. at least in the US. The Civil rights act of 1964 wasn't THAT long ago. Terms like cracker and honkey are racist, but it's easy to shrug it off because at the end of the day, you're still white and not minorityBut knowing that your ancestors and family members were either enslaved or treated like second class citizens simply because of their skin can have some psychological effect on someone, especially if in this day and age in 2016, you know that there are still actual racists out there who still think you're inferior. It can be quite the experience.
Now, that isn't to say there isn't a double standard, because there is. And I'd rather everyone come together and reach a middle ground, instead of the whole "white guilt"/"racist" stuff. But you can obviously see that there are still people who will truly generalize an entire race based on the few, and that doesn't happen to whites as often. Oklahoma bombings was a white guy? Nobody says all whites are crazy terrorists. Same with white criminals. But you find a black criminal and all of a sudden, some say "well that isn't surprising".
There are quite a few anti-Semites on the board as well, but they prefer to be called "anti-zionist" I believe.
Cant tell if sarcastic or not.
Yeah that's another one.
I said there is a double standard, but you have to understand context to get the difference. If you SERIOUSLY can't get the context, or if you do but choose to ignore it, then it's obvious what your agenda is.
If you're gonna do this at least be honest about it. All kinds of racial slurs against any and every race are permitted here as long as you avoid a select handful of words. Moderation in this forum has always been lax, that's why you have people here that are known racist trolls with 5+ year accounts.
Who are?
No it's actually mainly because of posters like you. You are one of those known racists. Nearly two year old account and nearly everything you post is racist garbage.
Apparently you only read one line of the post I sent and just ignored the rest. Okay then...

And another that didn't read it all.
He's one of these guys that is always going off about multiculturalism, which clearly just means he has to live around brown people and he doesn't like it.
two of the four could be considered pejorative.
