Will it also apply to blacks that call whites "honkey"...???
Racial hypocrisy still abounds.

No, the article mentions that when the protected class use it as a friendly greeting, there will be no charge.

True. Way back in 1970 in Army basic training, I was stunned to hear them call each other that since it was such an offensive term to them. But, in basic they all called each other that and called whites honkey. If a white called them the N word, the fights were on.

Wait until the PC police add sodomite to their hate speech code.
Thoughtcriminals will be prosecuted, illegal invaders will not.

Good idea if we also include the "F" word and about a dozen other "letter" words in the ban.
To: weegee
But at least one legal expert said Monday that such an ordinance may not stand up in court. May? May!?! There's no way in hell something like this would stand up in court.
