...to kick someone's ass for calling a black person a "nigger", but it's going to happen anyway, and the kicker will get more sympathy than the kickee.  When the police come we can only hope that they'll both get locked up,...

...hopefully, but not necessarily, in separate cells.

Kicking someones ass is a more serious crime than calling a black person that horrible word---and I admit, it's one of the worst words around---terrible.

Lock someone up for saying that word? Well, that's just nuts. And in reality, it wouldn't happen.

There are a lot of variables, however.

No, I wouldn't want to lock someone up for saying the word.  But anyone white person who calls a black person a "nigger" -- or any black person that calls a white person "white trash" (I think we need to let them slide on "honky" because it's such a funny word) -- maybe should be put in protective custody for being too stupid to get out of the way of an oncoming bus.
