“if I didn’t get called a honkey...”
In my 65 years, I have only heard the word “honky” used on All in the Family, Sanford and Son, and the Jeffersons — All produced, directed, and written by white, self-hating liberals. I have never been called a honky (or a cracker) by a black person, and outside of TV, I have never heard a black person use that word. I have, in contrast, been called “whitey” and “white boy,” usually preceded or followed by “MF.”
Have you ever walked a beat in the projects in Southeast DC?
