You guys can virtue signal all you want, the fact is, the left is openly anti white. If one of the reason they're doing this is because they're trying to push people into having white supremacist or at least exclusionary belief systems, I don't know, but it is on the increase. Basically, they can be racist but we can't. If there's a slight criticism of POC's, of which there's many, we are labelled racist, by people who are supposedly on the right. How many non violent ways are there to combat that, the alternative is shutting your mouth for the rest of your life. Take the UK, you can't criticize muslim rape gangs...It's illegal, they put you in prison...Germany, you can't question the holocaust, they put you in prison, it's illegal. Free speech includes calling someone the n word at times, it just does...
I would love to see a more balanced and rational treatment of the n word. As societal taboos go, it has reached the point of absurdity, and some people are trying to have their cake and eat it, too ("it's harmless if a black says it, but it's the end of the world if a white person says it").
I think it's partly because there isn't a word in the english dictionary to allocate white people in a negative way, like you have with blacks, asians and latino's. In their language there certainly is, but not in ours, and they are using our language, english, white people's language, so they've basically already lost the argument when they say something like cracker. In no country does there exist a word that describes the majority of it's inhabitants disparagingly, it doesn't make sense to. This could also explain why some people get annoyed or insulted when people use a different language.

Food for thought. I yearn for a day when a majority of our society are mature enough to laugh at shallow insults and turn them into jokes.
