Why do African-Americans get away with being blatantly racist?

I was just listening to a new T-Pain song ("All of the above") and the rapper says his new Benz is all white, just like McCain. If this was directed against blacks, there would be hell to pay. It seems like it's OK if they do it but not OK for anyone else. BTW, do any white people actually feel offended by African-Americans calling them "crackers" or "whitey"? I can't imagine anyone shedding a tear over that. Power has its priviledges.

I don't find this offensive at all, grow thicker skin

If you want racist, check out this parody song about barack obama made by a couple of radio DJ's

It's the same thing with them calling each other awesome dude but when a white guy says it, all hell breaks loose. It's called reverse racism.
 
I know other peoples can be racist but it seems to be OK if African Americans do it. It's accepted.
 
Meh, we enslaved them for a few hundred years, then "freed" them into Jim Crowe laws, then continued to segregate them and oppress them, sometimes blatantly, someties subtley, for decades thereafter. We've kind of had it coming. Let them be a little pissed off at us, we've earned it.

No. Just because its not black history month, doesn't mean its white history month.

And just because its not BET, the other tv channels are not white people channels.

A black calling another black awesome dude is not the same, because the context is different. It's similar to how a frat dude might go up to his frat bro at a party and say "what up, mother fucker?!!". They know it's not the same thing as two people fighting calling each other mother fucker, it's a simple concept to understand. On paper, it looks like they are being hypocrites, but in the culture, a black using the word "awesome dude" doesn't mean the same thing.

Another example is sarcasm, when someone says one thing but means another.

Aye..if it's not right for one party to do it to another, it's not right for anyone.
