Its about time to actually give it a smack round the head, this may seem trivial to some but for me it annoys the hell out of me. I am in no way racist but I cant see how to use racial slur about a minority is wrong but against white people its perfectly ok....

Again it may seem petty but it still bugs the hell out of me:)

I was sitting in my history class the other day (5 white guys, 3 of them from Europe, 1 white girl, and 1 black girl), and the teacher, a white guy, turns to the black girl and says, "Marilyn, tell us the answer to number 4. Show us honkeys how it's done."
I've never laughed so hard.
Seriously. I'd wear that shirt. :p

I guess it all matters on the person..
I think its actually funny..If I wore this shirt my friends would probably laugh..
It all depends on how you use the word/lingo..
If this was a pro-chinese or african american site..then I would take it in the wrong way..
Its all in good fun on the way it seems displayed..

My best friend is half chinese half indian.. when in the city once he heard a black man around a corner say... "let's go shoot some chinks!". He was scared chitless until he realized but later found out they were talking about basketball.
Its surprising Abercombie and Fitch didn't think this up. They've done stupid stuff {thongs for tikes (http://money.cnn.com/2002/05/22/news/companies/abercrombie/index.htm), Wong bros shirts (http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2002/04/18/MN109646.DTL)} in the past for publicity.
That petition ain't doing too well with 7 whole signatures.
Actually the shirt or word doesn't bother me.
This raise an important issue-why it okay for to be racist against whites?
btw my black friend uses the N word in front of me and his Asian wife. I told him he'd burn in hell for doing so and he said see you there. :eek:

its the same for me, the word in no way bothers me at all. Its the issue of racism been ok against some races and not others.

Every white guy in my town including me is probably the whitest white boy that ever lived. Call me honkey all you want.

I'm a "Tom Willis" honkey and proud of it. :p
True Story:
I was attending a local festival here in my home town and bunch of black teens were trying to get through a growd a people. One of them was yelling, "Spread out, y'all! Spread out! Niggahs coming through! Niggahs coming through, y'all!!"
When they got close to where I was at, I said loudly to my GF at the time, "Hey honey, let's move back and let these ******s through" and the whole croud near me started laughing and gasping.
Sure enough, that loud black person overheard me.
"Hooda@!#$ you callin' niggah, you greymeat, crackah ass, HONKEY MOFO?!?! Huh?!?? Huh, punk?!? Sup with dat?!?!??!"
I stood there and just smiled at him. :D
"Yo, Mont! This boy callin' us niggahs, man!! Let's kick dat ass."
That's when I spoke up, still smiling, "I didn't call you guys ******s."
"Oh, don't you play dat !@%$, honkey! I heard you!! You sed to your woman to move and let the ******s through! Everybody here heard you, too!"
"That's right - I did say that."
"AHA, and so you callin' us a bunch of niggahs!!"
"No, I didn't."
"Yes, you did, honkey!"
"No I didn't."
"Yes you did! Don't play that, man! Did the word niggah come out of yo mouth, honkey?!?"
"No, it first came out of YOURS!! "
"But I'm black, mutha!! Its not racist for me to call my friends or myself a ******..."
"Exactly, my point - for the past 20 minutes, you've been going going through this crowd saying that ******s were coming though.... "
"But dat's diff'rent!!!!"
"How so?!? If some black man wants to publically declare himself a ****** in a crowd, then who am I to argue with him?!? Afterall, if I were walking through a crowd of black folks calling myself a honkey, would that black crowd argue with me? No way - they would each whisper, point, and say lookit dat dumbass honkey over there!!! Right?!?"
That's when his friend "Mont" spoke up - "Honkey gotta point, there, dog! Let's go, we runnin late, man!!"
"But he called us niggahs, man!?!"
"Who gives a *****?!? Let's go meet those chicks, man!! If I don't get lucky tonight, I'm going to kick yo ass for arguing with this honkey, not over what he said. Now, let's go....niggah..."
:D :p :D :p

Actually, what I did took guts. :eek:
Seeing as it was my home town probably helped. But if I were to try something like that in Compton or Watts, I'd have been put in a morgue just like (snaps fingers) that.
I'm a stupid honkey, but not THAT stupid! :p

Can't really argue with 'ya there. :p
Seriously, though, the vast majority of people out there wouldn't have the cajones to do what you did (myself being one of them). And I, for one, salute you for it. :)
