If the situation had been reversed, the same scenario would've taken place. The black people would have been offended and left. Not every instance of racism makes the news or to the ears of the NAACP.

Black people aren't being called out in the media for using the n-word.
Is it really that hopeless......are you just not able to understand the difference in that word coming from a white person?

"Can black folks be racists?"

Of course not. They are victims. As victims, they can not be held responsible for their actions.

The only real issue going on here is black people blaming white people for their own dysfunction. The reason black people are so easily offended by a simple word used in a harmless manner is because being the victim of white racism has been tremendously rewarding for blacks. It's a virtual industry.
SMH............sad that you actually believe this. By all means, say n*gger...it seems to mean that much to you.

I simply responded to the OP's question. It's apparent that you don't like my answer.

If anyone is out of line here, it's you.

So, I'm not allowed to be offended that I'm being accused of being a perpetual victim? Yeah, you're right, I don't like your answer.
