Ever notice that there isn't a pejorative term for a white man that even comes close to being as offensive as many terms we have for non-white people?

I don't see how anyone has prevented you from using these words, or any words, any time you want, your 1st Amendment right is still pleny intact, adn the courts aren't about to tell you you can't anytime soon. (FTE being a private meeting place, is exempt from these rules, it's owners have the right to decide what is and is not acceptable content)
The part you don't seem to like is that there are consequences and connotations to these words. To be frank - tough. The majority, or in some cases the minority, gets to decide on the meaning and connotation of some words, not you. You are aware of them and their connotations before hand, use them accordingly, or be prepared for the consequences.

The story was about Spike Lee at the Cannes Film Festival in 1999, calling for Charlton Heston to be "shot with a 44 bulldog." (That was the type of weapon used in the "son-of-sam murders.) What were the repercussions of that?

I fail to see how you interpreted the post as a prediction, it was merely a response to your whining about the connotations of words.

When I dislike something, and discuss it here, it is whining.
Nice sucker punch there. Talk about name calling.

I was responding in the tone in which I *felt* you set with your response.
Sorry for the hassle Ryan.
