Ever go to a website preferably a blog or YouTube and after you’re done reading/listening/watching whatever, you go and read the comments, it could be about computers or fold-up tables but it somehow turns to racial slurs? Doesn’t really matter who started it but the fact that people have gotten so comfortable with spewing out those slurs that it comes naturally to most. My point is this, those who have to remind someone of their race online wouldn’t have the gall to say anything to that person offline. Even them entertaining the idea of actually saying what they say online to someone offline would have their father’s father breaking out into a sweat.

This isn’t about a one specific race this is about all races because all races fall fault to these type of online behaviors. Its just fascinating to see these insecure, weak rebuttal, lower than scum individuals get backed into a corner and all they can mention is someone’s race, whether they’re sure about it or not. I remember one time on this here blog, someone called me a “honky” because on my profile I had on here [I had no picture up] it said “all I listen to is rock music and nothing but”. I had to laugh at him because he just stereotyped someone without even knowing anything about that person. Why do people worry about someone else skin pigment so much? Its not going to solve anything and its for damn sure isn’t gone to make the world stop spinning. “Look, a NIGGER on the INTERWEBS!” *gasp!*

I truly hope these people who are calling people honky’s, niggers, spics, crackers, rednecks, wetbacks, coons, porch monkeys don’t think people are actually losing sleep at night because they called someone said slur. If it help the insult-ee sleep better at night fine but I don’t think your font can do much damage.

I truly believe most of these people who are doing this behind a computer don’t have the slightest clue to what half the slurs they’re spewing actually mean. I guess I can take 3 minutes to define a few…

Cracker

A racist insult used by Blacks against white people that seemingly isn’t wrong, yet it is illegal for us to defend ourselves and call them darkies or nigger. Racism against whites is racism just the same, people.

Coon

A derogatory term for black people. Similar to “nigger“. Originally a shortened form of the word “raccoon“, used in reference to the animal. The black eye masks and nocturnal habits of the animal paralleled the characteristics of typical robbers and thief’s. The stereotype was then applied to black people.

Honky

A derogatory term for a Caucasian person. There are three main theories for the origin of the word:
1. The word originated from the practice of white males wishing to hire African-American prostitutes in the 1920′s, and going to the appropriate part of town while honking their car horns to attract the whores. Some versions state that the reason for this was that the white men were too afraid to actually stop in those neighborhoods, so the honking would bring the hookers to them. Others say that since few African-Americans could afford cars back in that time, the honking signaled a higher-paying white client and would quickly gain the prostitutes attention.
2. The term comes from the word “honky-tonk“, which was used as early as 1875 in reference to wild saloons in the Old West. Patrons of such disreputable establishments were referred to as “honkies“, not intended as a racial slur but still a disparaging term.
3. A “honkie” is a variation of “hunky” and “bohunk“, derogatory terms for Hungarian, Bohemian, and Polish immigrant factory workers and hard laborers in the early 1900′s. African-Americans began to use the word in reference to all whites regardless of specific nation of origin

Nigger

A term used to describe a black person, who is stereotypically considered bad, poor, lazy, addict or criminal. This term was first used during the period when blacks were discriminated against and used as slaves. The white people would yell at them and call them a “filthy nigger” when they were slacking of while working out on the fields. This is why the word is so frowned upon today, because blacks feel they are losing their sense of control and being discriminated against just like those hard times. It is considered a racial crime when a white person uses the word nigger.

Porch Monkey

A derogatory for a person of African or African American decent. BUT it could also mean a generally lazy person. This term came to be when you think of African Americans sitting on there porch chatting it up. Also in the movie Clerks II, the sequel to Clerks, Randal tries to reclaim it as a new term for lazy people. And thus offends several customers and his boss.

Red-neck

An inbred, conservative, white, bigoted, farmer from the deep south of america. [I don't really like this definition and I'm too lazy at the moment to find another one].

Spic

A highly offensive term referring in a derogatory manner to a Hispanic person, i.e. born or descendant of natives of Spain and/or any Spanish-speaking country or territory in Central America, South America or the Caribbean.

Wet-back

A derogatory term used to describe illegal immigrants from Mexico. This originates from them jumping the boat and swimming to shore [undetected] hence having ‘wet backs’.

So those out there who take joy in calling people these things but didn’t know what they meant, well here you go. Now you’re an educated internet bully. Also if anyone reads this, can someone tell me if they ever heard of a Black person [in this time frame] get arrested for calling someone a racial slur. I’ve always wondered that, seems they are always in the news for everything but that.
