Someone who wrongly mistakes someone as racist is worse than an actual racist? Not even close, the person who mistakes someone as racist is an idiot, the racist shouldn't exist.
F**k this - I'm pink, and if someone calls me pink well then thats just fine. Lets not dole out non-pc death sentences here from the moral high ground of our keyboards when the vast majority of the threads we spend time in are downright dirty.
It's kinda funny, I remember getting taught to use the word "coloured" because that was the proper term, I got in trouble calling someone black. How thing's have turned around...
I'm white....did you just call me uncoloured?
Fuckin' racist...

What I'd like to know is, how white people could get offended when someone uses a racial slur or makes an prejudice comment against a person of color. I never got that.
It's called empathy. The ability to understand others feelings and emotions, and thus be offended when it is not themselves who are being attacked.

If I was a black person, I'd feel more offended by whites having empathy for me for trying to understand my feelings and emotions as to how a certain word influences me, when they clearly have never experienced anything in their lives that could even closely resemble anything like the Civil Rights Movement era. Seems a bit hypocritical. But that's my take on it.
You don't have to have had the exact experiences of another to empathize with them. Many things in life cause emotional pain and although circumstances that causes the pain might not be the same, the pain itself is what others can empathize with.

So, I take it there's also a word or two that people use to describe you, your race or ****** that when mentioned would completely cause you emotional pain, and evoke anger in you and possibly implement physically harm on that individual who said it?

Do white people get offended when they are called white?... do coloured people feel empathy when whites are called white?... My ancestor's where slaves.. Greeks where slaves not long before africans... how come nobody feels sorry for us?... maybe because it's forgotten... so if we just forget about it.. who will care about the KKK... if nobody cares about the KKK... there's no need for the KKK... there's no KKK... History seems to always repeats it's self and yet we never learn from it... most likely the next group of slaves will exist on the other side of the planet once they take over... maybe we'll be the slaves?.... blacks whites pinks browns... whatever... maybe the best thing to happen to the world for the world, who knows... I don't think white people should have the right to feel empathy or claim they feel empathy... there is no way the can know what it must have felt like.. infact... black youth can't or shouldn't try to empathise.. how could they know what it felt like... I think white people who claim to feel empathy for blacks are just trying to find something to feel good about and justify all the tiny little bad things they do from day to day... They speak out in some superficial way to ease their conscious.. everybody of all colours does it in some way... rally... go to church.. big ******* program... whatever.. now i'm not saying all big brothers are doing it for this reason... basically... i'm rambling
