Are Some Racist Slurs Okay?
American Greatness ^ | 22 May, 2025 | Victor Davis Hanson

Posted on 05/22/2025 5:17:45 AM PDT by MtnClimber

Racism doesn’t become justice when roles reverse—bigotry dressed as victimhood still poisons the well of a multiracial democracy.

One reason why the public turned on DEI was its insistence that roughly 70 percent of the country was stereotyped as victimizers by virtue of their skin color.

In contrast, the other “diverse” 30 percent were de facto considered the victimized.

In such absurd binaries, the left returned to the old “one-drop” rule of the antebellum South, suggesting that anyone with any nonwhite ancestry was a minority victim.

And once that Marxist-inspired dichotomy was institutionalized, a corollary was established that the self-declared racially oppressed cannot themselves be racist oppressors.

But human nature is universal and transcends race.

One lamentable characteristic of our species is that we are all prone to excess and crudity if not deterred, especially once civilizational restraint is lost.

We are now witnessing examples of what follows when anti-white stereotyping and racism are given a pass—as long as the purveyors can claim their victimhood entitles them to bias.

Recently, WNBA basketball stars Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark got into one of their now-characteristic on-court rivalries. But this time around, Reese mocked Clark as a “White gyal [sic] running from the fade.”

Reese assumes that her status as a Black star grants her immunity from backlash—a privilege unlikely to be extended if the roles were reversed.

Or is her crassness a simple reflection that 60 years after the Civil Rights movement, it is deemed cool or deservedly acceptable to use the word “white” derogatorily?

After all, loose-cannon Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), in one of her accustomed racialist rants, recently went after her party’s big Democratic donors, who raised a record amount of money for Kamala Harris’s short-lived campaign.

Crockett played the race card when claiming

When in trouble or in doubt, run in circles, call whitey out.

Why is it always considered racist when one of one race calls out another of another race? Why is it considered racist when one of one race ignores one of another race?

If people would just forget about the word “racist”, change would come real soon. I have no problem being called names for they do not define me.

Jazzmine Crockette is the official cartoon Princess of Racism in the USA. Her daddy needs to tan her ass and tell her to STFU!

A) There is no such thing as race.

B) Slurs are ungentlemanly and unladylike. People using them do themselves no favors.

C) The Constitution does not guarantee you a life safe from hurty words, a$$holish behavior.

They’re all OK. When I hit the Trifecta, I get to be a white honkie cracker. That means I’m somebody!

It’s “okay” in the privacy of your own home.

“Sticks and stones…” comes to mind. The 1st amendment basically says “screw your feelings”.

The issue is not the slur it’s who they’re directed at and why.

If anyone is offended by a “word” they’re weak individuals to begin with.

You may not be safe or not face a backlash, but C does guarantee I can say them without being prosecuted by the government.

Mine are ok because they are always true and I only say them when it is helpful to the discussion.
