He sounds perfect for them ‘BOYS.

Well, according to wikipedia (for what it’s worth):

Honky is a corruption of hungy or hunky, a term which originated in the stockyards and slaughterhouses of Chicago. The term may derive from “Bohunk” (Bohemian-Hungarian), which was used to refer to central Europeans. Black workers and Hungarian workers were two of the largest ethnic groups in the Chicago meat industry. Racial and ethnic tension between the two groups led Black workers to begin calling Hungarian workers, and those perceived as Hungarian workers, hunky, perhaps in retaliation for the familiar racist epithets to which black workers were subject. The corruption ‘honky’ emerged shortly thereafter.

I don’t mind being called a “cracker” or “honky”, or a Mick for that matter. The comments about family though would cause me to end his NFL career after I take out his knees.

Some lines aren’t to be crossed.

The report goes on to say when Williams realized his car was going to be towed and police asked if he wanted his date to drive it home, he yelled, "I'm not letting that (expletive) take my car."

OK that was funny!

[Sig Sauer P220]

Impossible. Only white people are racist.

[7thson]

Not only that but we wouldn’t have to wait two years to know about it.

Inspired by Tijeras Slim tagline:

I think it really annoys some groups that there is nothing they can call whites that get us upset. In fact, when they try to insult us by making T-shirts like “Fightin Whiteys”, its the whites who rush to buy them. Anyone know where I can get a “Garlic Nose” shirt?

Can we conclude that white skin is thicker?

[Dixie Yooper]

Impossible. Only white people are racist.

But people of every race can be a bigot.

"You wouldn't catch LeBron James pulling this kind of garbage.

What kind of name is LeBron?

[ArrogantBustard]

Somebody's got to do it:

[karnage]

Obama Superdelegate...

[I see my hands]

"Jaguar"

Close enough.

[Free Dominoes]

Honkies are repsonbile for all the wars in history. Are you a honkey?

[stainlessbanner]

Yeah that was pretty good.

[InterestedBystander]

When does his apology tour start? Perhaps he should check with Mel Gibson to determine an appropriate number of apologies before he enters rehab. He could start touring high schools in all-white districts to explain his mistakes and promise to change his life.

[I see my hands]

Haole = foreign (white). Nene = goose (state bird).

[jimmyo57]

Because whites supposedly speak with a nasally tone and sounds like a goose “honking”. That’s what I’ve always heard.

"cross-worders"

Crossword enthusiast = cruciverbalist.

“I have to be honest. The word “honkey” never offended me. Neither does “cracker”. Really, the epithets for white people are kind of hard for me to not laugh at.”

I find that most people who consider themselves conservative, think this way. I do. I was called a "Nazi" a few times (I have a german name and background) by a few "enlightened" libs in Manhattan after I didn't toe their PC line. When one realized what she said, she looked horrified, thinking that I would probably do what she definitely would -- go to HR and file a complaint.

But I just laughed. Funny, but I really believe she thought she had won some kind of argument with me.

I still haven't figured out how to talk to these types without somehow offending them. I've pretty much stopped trying.
