This place would be p boring if we were all just standing around in a circle knucklin off each others cranksIt's @sonofdaxjones

I assume that’s because most people have not been offended by what MIR has said. Is there something specific you’re thinking of?I'm sure when he uses the term honky or cracker he is just trying to get some good ole yucks from you guys so never mind.. Do those terms offend you? I’m asking because as a white man they really don’t offend me and I’m genuinely curious if you find them offensive or if you are just upset that whites don’t have slurs associated with decades of hate and oppression that they can be offended by.

Mods please change the thread title to athletes forcing racists to out themselves
Alright possibly racist posters Purplewood and Eastcat, group up with me.The question isn't whether or not it was a joke, or if it was a joke, whether or not it was funny. The question is, how much oxygen do you give a single, insensitive tweet? And on what basis is that response justified? The marketplace of ideas will work itself out.
Too bad okcat doesn't post anymore

He used it in a derogatory manner which therefore should be inexcusable. Why should the double standard even be allowed to exist?

Are you the board monitor on what terms are offensive for each nationality?

Are you the board monitor on what terms are offensive for each nationality? Omg - MODSAnd my point is it’s not a double standard. You should expect that members of historically oppressed groups (and I’m not just talking about skin color) are going to be offended by using derogatory terms because the odds are they’ve personally experienced pain associated with similar derogatory behavior. I’d steer clear from making an offhand joke about flying airplanes into buildings in NYC (really anywhere) for the same reason.I suspected you would not be offended by cracker or honkey because there is no pain or oppression related to them. In fact the only time I’ve seen people “upset” about them is almost exactly like the “all lives matter” crowd who use it to divert the conversation away from someone else’s legitimate concerns.

It's more lip service, when BLM tires of lip service things will escalate.

I would say the events of the last few weeks are an escalation of the collective citizenship being tired of lip service. I know it's inconvenient for you, but Americans views on this (as a whole) have shifted dramatically.
