Loved the response by Sonafi.

"People of all races, religions and nationalities work at Sanofi every day to improve the lives of people around the world. While all pharmaceutical treatments have side effects, racism is not a known side effect of any Sanofi medication."

Joyner Lucas - I'm Not Racist

PO2 Nick Burke - Educate yourself...watch all 7 min. Both sides could learn something. It's not the words it's the context and intent of how those words are used. Lucas' message illustrates that beautifully. Peace! I'm out!

MAJ James Woods Seems like prejudice is from both sides. So why aren't both condemned and held equally accountable for their actions?

PO2 Nick Burke - Cause when one is going "Cracker this, then nigga that" in the same comedy routine is offensive, vulgar jokes isn't equal to intentional racist, derogatory insults directed towards an individual.

So if they are directed towards an individual it's racist but when addressed towards the race in general it's not racist? That makes zero sense. I would consider a comment like " Dem porch monkeys is to lazy to n stupid to be _______" extremely racist and offensive. Just like Chris Rock and others making "jokes" calling whites crackers.
But to you that's OK because it's not directed towards an individual.
