I was listen to a black radio station yesturday in Detroit and a call said "The cracker's are cumbling".\n\nWhile I thought it was a funny comment. I though if it was a white radio show and a white person said somthing like "The Chocolate kingdome in Detroit is melting" the comment would be considered very racists. When will this double standard stop?

I know I see this everywhere. Blacks can make racist comments on whites and not be considered racist, but if some white kid says something to a black kid, it would be considered racist. It's horrible. I see this often on Nick Cannon's Wild N' Out.

Those of you who accused this joke teller of being a twat and racist read all the writing if you're able. He did say it was a joke. Also look at Al V's response....\nI wish you lot woul lighten up...after all let's have a laugh before the buggers blow us up.

Welcome to the real world. This is a prime example of the double standard in America. It is always the white persons fault. \n  Political correctness, it will be the end of us.

I disagree with the person that said move to Europe, I mean racism is everywhere no matter what country no matter what ethnicity. Yes us black folks get it thrown in our face everyday but F*** em' life goes on you know, "what they eat don't make us sh**. like jay z said, ain't no love in the heart of the city, ain't no love in the heart of town"  Did you know in the history of television, in europe 2 weeks ago, a news station hired a black broadcaster. Now how long has the tv been around. We may have a few more oppurtinities, but not much. Just do what we all do, keep ya head up and try to maintain, Like Donny Hathaway says " Take it from me someday we'll ALL be FREE!"

it's got to be the banning of the use of black board and black sheep- I mean black people don't find this offensive- why would they? I would think that apparteid and the klu klux klan was hideously offensive. Rather than worry about the plight of black inner city kids,  some left wing overpaid white phoney has wanted to ban baa baa black sheep- when some sheep are black and black  boards  need to be that colour to see white chalk on. I think it is an insult to intelligent black people- although even that tag is stupid- o.k as a description such as red hair etc but reallly we are all people.

Now a days, if you prefer white chocolate over dark chocolate you are considered a racist ! I say to hell with all this political correctness crap and people should tell it like it is.

He was real wrong to say those nasty things, but i do not see how money would help anything. what really gets me is that i hear black people say that word and not one person even gasp, yet a white guy says it and they cant believe they have heard that word. Racism knows no color. to the lady who gave an answer addressed to me. I by no means meant to offend anyone. i really did not know there was a diff. i do appreciate you explaining that to me.

Actually, I heard on talk radio today that the term "RACIST" is the money word.  \n\nAnyone wanting something they have not earned screams "racist".\n\nAnyone who needs a few extra dollars, sues because of "racism".\n\nAnyone who has no argument for why they are breaking the law, yells "racist".\n\nAnyone who is caught stealing identities cries "racist".\n\nBasically it pretty much used when an individual or group is doing something which is morally or legally wrong.

I haven't see the users question .the fact that so many of you is offended means the question must be pretty bad..i don't think reporting him is the answer .it'll be far better to do as you are doing now and voice your displeasure.to their questions .when they see that they are not getting the response they want .in time they will stop and move on .thank you for apology.i'm black and i'm not a spokesman for the whole race .i can only speak for myself .and my view is this .someone saying hateful things on a computer site can't hurt me .if you read my name backwards that's what i think of people like that ...once again thanks for the apology but  there's no need .you can't be held accountable for the whole white race anymore than i can for the black race

yes it is hypocrisy. you are right.some say that we took the word from whites to take the control of our identity as black americans.i use the word.i use those other words too.this is the real killer, in private there are still white folks that call blacks, the n-word.and there are black folks that call white people, whatever it is we say in private.i think that he is lucky that the black folks in the audience did kick his azz.i'm not saying any of those words are right all i know is we have to live with people and sometimes people say the craziest things.i would not stand up in a room full of white people and say derogatory things, because i would not want the shoe to be on the other foot. and im with you his career is totally over.

That is a pretty racist comment and question.  I am not only offended but also disappointed, it is a pretty ignorant question.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH LUCKY2BEALIVE.  they are hypocrites.\n\nHe's just saying this poster "ME" accused me of being a racist but he's doing the same thing.

Is this a joke?!?!?!\n\nI don't even know if I think this guy is serious or not!\n\nSeriously though, if he is, then I have 2 major concerns\n\nOne, I hear some people say only white people can be racist!  Ha!  Watch this video if you believe that\n\nTwo, people actually clapped for that!  \n\nMy goodness, what a world

I just really don't care, its between him and his conscience. I also think that it is really funny that no one has pointed out that the guys yelled racist comments back... cracker-ass is the equivalent of n*gger.\n\nThis country needs to get past this retarded double standard. Racist comments are either okay or they are not... right now its fine for black people to be racist to whites, but not the other way around. Also, how reasonable is it to have the "N" word used all the time in pop culture (music, movies, etc.) but keep acting like its this big taboo for a cracker-ass to say it? How about one standard for everyone?

I would find it quite offensive and racist.  Yes, it's a slang term, but it's use indicates that it is derogatory.\n\nI get irritated when someone tells me how much I must love chocolate since my fiancee is black.

No, they aren't "just bigots" maybe those people who ask think its a double standard and would like to know why blacks can call each nigga's but a white boy can't. Yet blacks can call white people crackers and thats no big deal.

I'm white and I agree. It's just like the black college funds, colleges, television etc... Lord forbid there be a white college fund or white college or a white tv station. I agree with your boyfriend that because of the history looooooooooong ago it puts a damper on things now. But we shouldn't have to suffer for the actions of others. I am proud to be white and I am proud to be an American and I am pround to be from Oklahoma. Shouldn't I be allowed to flaunt it?  And it's also ok for other races to make fun of us in their comic gigs or whatever and say the work "Cracker" referring to us but we aren't allowed to say the word "Nigger" referring to them. I don't think either word should be used. I don't think any word like that  should be used to describe anyone. But I can't say I am upset about the slaves being brought over here. I am glad their offsprings are here. They are my friends. If it weren't for the slaves being brought over we may not have some of the great people we do have. I am disappointed in what happened to alot of them though. I feel for them. Though thank God that thinking is different now.\n\nOMGOsh!!!!!!!!!! \nI wrote out that so horrible "N" word to make a point and it got substituted with symbles but the word CRACKER is still there. See my point people. If we are supposed to be equal lets be equal.
