Should a new rule be proposed banning the use of racial slurs?

I suspect that they are. However the intent to insult and denigrate white people doesn't seem to be widely perceived as effective, does it?

Mostly but not exclusively. Redneck is a derogatory term chiefly-but-not-exclusively applied to white Americans...
Yes, like them. And I will argue that it's not only liberals who use the term.
Furthermore, where is your condemnation of stupid cons who use the term "plantation mentality" in their propaganda?

In the pecking order of conservative hate, redneck and cracker will always rank higher the n-word.
You're high. You race hustlers wouldn't last 3 days. lol.
Is that a fact?
So you admit that liberals are abusive to Black people whose political orientation differ from theirs, but try to excuse it by claiming that "it's not only liberals who use the term"?
Why should I condemn what I regard as an accurate description one of the cornerstones of the DEMOCRAT practice of taking Black voters for granted - as if they'd bought and paid for their votes?
I agree.

What planet are you living on? The n-word is a derivation of the word meaning "black."
Is that so? I don't rank them higher. That you think all conservatives do is sad.
Sad!
She wasn't disputing that, was she, Deflectoress?
The notion that 'cracker' and 'redneck are cultural', "not racial" is BS.

^ Logical fallacy. Furthermore, this forum is full of people who are abusive to blacks because they mainly vote for Democrats, far more abusive than the opposite.

If you're excusing that dog whistle then this whole thread is bogus.

What planet are you living on? The n-word applies to skin color and skin color only. I don't know how you can claim to be against racist slurs and then say cracker and redneck are just as bad.
Racists can use the n-word to describe someone from the cradle to the grave. It's not necessarily the same for redneck and cracker.
Bullshit. This forum is a tiny microcosm of society, and you'd have hard time proving posters "are abusive to blacks because they mainly vote for Democrats, far more abusive than the opposite."
Don't let that stop you from claiming you already proved it, though.
So you say.
What If I told you that Black people use what you smugly called a "dog whistle"?
Check your privilege.
I didn't say they were "just as bad", did I? I said they are all racial slurs, which you deny.
Oh, really?
It's not?
Please, prove it.

So, it just depends on who "says" it...kind of like "Grand Imperial Wizardc...t"....Is that it?

I'm pretty sure though that "kraut" (WWII nick for Germans) is not a racial slur.

No, it doesn't. You can even manage to discuss why it's okay for black ppl to use the n-word and not okay for whites to use it, without actually using it. Awkward, but possible. That being said, 97% of the times I have seen it used here though was as a slur directed at either another poster or at a group of ppl.
