For the record, I have zero problem with the phrases "that's so gay" or "jew him down." I'm a gay and a jew ... so go figure.
But you're comparing apples to oranges. Those generalities are not made as an insult to people who've done you harm, but merely as an insult.
So ... I don't think it's ok for me to use generalities to insult a black man, but I find it perfectly understandable when a black man uses generalities to insult whites, of which group I happen to be a member.
By the same token, I
don't find it understandable if a black man insults gays or jews, of which groups I am also members ... by virtue of the fact that gays and jews haven't done systematic harm to blacks.
Get the difference? Now go complain to your ancestors, because they saddled you with this lasting animus. Use a Ouija board if necessary. But stop whining about your poor aggreived insult when it's an absolute act of surreal amazement that a black man just now became president of the United States in 2009.
