So what if he does. He has the right to be offended doesn't he? Or is it ok for him to be insulted as long as you think so?
Thats my whole point, we have some many variables on this. All insults should be wrong or all fair game. None of this picking and choosing crap depending on who said, the alignment of the planets....total political correct crap.
I do 110%. I got called cracker all the time growing up, and when they said it, there was anger behind it. If I was like a lot of people that have just seen Chris Rock and other comics, maybe not. But getting kicked while you're down, getting spit on, while a group of people are calling you dumb cracker motherfucker, and fucking peckerwood, really lets you see where it comes from. I feel the same way about nigger. Nothing I hate more than people saying,"Why can they say cracker or honkey, but we can't say nigger?" I swear to god I want to slap the taste out of their mouths.
No one needs to be saying shit like that to anyone, and I don't think there's a difference between the two. Again, where I grew up it's different than most, but hate is hate.
