Is it normal to believe there's racism toward whites from blacks

I recently visited the dirty south and noticed that racism still exists.. I actually noticed that it goes both ways... It sometimes seems worse toward whites... If a white person drops the *N* bomb, its considered a hate crime. But, if a black person says *Honkey*, *Cracker*.. Etc.. Its ok?? After nearly 300 years they still seem to think the whites owe them??

    I'm getting very annoyed by this. When racism was mostly directed towards blacks, blacks were told to get over it, its not a big deal, stop pulling the race card. But when a black person says one stupid word (a word that has no oppression behind it) white people go into an outrage, complain of being treated unfairly, cry "anti-white". Its hypocritical.

    White people as well as black people are racist. White people still stereotype black people and black people do the same for white people. It goes both ways. I'm personality half and half but my skin looks more black then it does white. I still sometimes get racist comments from white people so really it happens its not because black people think you owe them one its because black people can be racist as well as white people.

    And i think its so offence to call a black person nigger because it has so much past behind that word. black people were made slaves and its a really sensitive subject for them. it kind of makes them think what if i were born in that time period? how could someone hate you from the color of your skin its something you cant change? Its just painful to think that happened to people just because their black like you. So i think that's why no one takes cracker and stuff seriously because theirs no history to that word but with nigger their is.

    I never personally called a white person a cracker or anything else like that and i understand it can be offensive but white people say other things that are offensive to black people its just racism. Not all black people are racist just as not all white people are but their will be some that are.

    I object to the term "dirty south", most northern cities are far more industrialized and cause a lot of the pollution. So in my mind the north is far "dirtier" than the south. So I will now coin a new term know as the "Filthy North". How's that?

    There is discrimination both ways, definitely.
    But racism is an institutionally based phenomena, so technically you can only be racist towards minoritised groups.
    Same reasons you can't be sexist against men.
    You absolutely can be discriminatory against white people, but it's not racism.

    Man, you better get used to it. I've seen various predictions by demographic experts that white people will be a minority in the USA by 2060 or something.

    Also, blacks don't feel like they are owed anything. Thats a misconception. They just want things to be equal.

    Isn't "Dirty South" a sub-genre of Rap music?

    When referring to the southern portion of the United States I prefer the term "Deep South."

    I use to think racism directed at me would never bother me as a white person but it still does. It's a terrible thing and I only felt the tip of the iceberg.

    Dirty south? Fuck you!

    Anyway I'm white and I don't think its worse for whites. I use the term cracker a lot, so I can't get mad when they do. And I say nigger it's a word no more offensive than fuck.

      On a side note, does anyone else think of a barrel full of white people when you hear about cracker barrel (if you don't know it's a restaurant).
