 Tolerance.org: Honky Wanna Cracker?
The lack of symmetry between a word like honky and a slur such as "nigger" was made readily apparent in an old Saturday Night Live skit, with Chevy Chase and Richard Pryor.
As a white person I always saw the term honky, or cracker for that matter, as a sign of just how much more potent white racism was than any variation on the same theme practiced by the fl or brown.
The day that someone produces a newspaper ad that reads, "Twenty honkies for sale today: good condition, best offer accepted," or "Cracker to be lynched tonight: whistled at fl woman," then perhaps I'll see the equivalence of these slurs with the more common type to which we've grown accustomed.

 Honky Chateau by Elton John CD
By the time Elton John went to France to cut HONKY CHATEAU in 1972, he had already become the first act since the Beatles to land four albums in the American Top 10 simultaneously.
The results were successful, as the nonsensical "Honky Cat" and the Bowie-inspired "Rocket Man" became John's first Top 10 hits since the release of "Your Song" two years prior.
The John/Bernie Taupin partnership also yielded a number of songs with vivid imagery, including the Civil War-era American South of "Slave" and a front-row pew before a gospel choir in the inspirational "Salvation." Pound for pound, HONKY CHATEAU may be one the strongest, most consistent, and most pleasurable records in the mammoth John discography.

 The Mavens' Word of the Day   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Honky in the sense 'a white person' is almost certainly a pronunciation variant of hunky, an earlier derisive term meaning 'a person of Central or Eastern European ancestry'.
This hunky, which is first attested around the turn of the century, is probably from Hung(arian), perhaps influenced by hunk in the sense 'a heavy-set, dull fellow'.
There are isolated Black English examples of both honky and hunky in the sense 'white person' from the mid 1940s, but honky does not become common until the late 1960s.

The first thing you see on the flyer for the Honky show at the Funhouse is what’s in parentheses: "(J.D. Pinkus of Butthole Surfers)." "If people come to see a psychedelic show, they’re definitely going to leave having seen something different," says the parenthetical Pinkus of his new band.
In their own words, Honky plays "dirty white boy rock’n’roll," and as if to prove their point, they finished with a cover of Skynyrd’s "Simple Man" featuring Dixie Witch drummer, Trinidad, on the skins and Honky’s timekeeper on the mic.
At times it seems the burgeoning mix-master DJ culture is poised to absorb, like a great, sucking fl hole, the entire context for rabble-rousing, heavy-rock lowlifes, but the arrival of Honky comes as a welcome slap in the face of canned music and its robotic consumers.

This bombastic debut album from New York cartoon rockers Honky Toast wants to be a ready-made camp classic -- sort of the aural equivalent of a blaxploitation flick.
Lead singer Eric J. Toast is indeed a honky who sounds like Steven Tyler trying to talk ghetto (check out "I Wanna Be on Welfare").
Musically, the other Toastees follow tracks so worn that they're ruts: Guitarist Richard Croissant mimics Johnny Thunders' protopunk guitar down to the opiated solos; bassist EZ Bake slogs through blues, funk and metal templates, leaving hapless drummer Frank B. Butter to pound along like a rock & roll choo-choo seeking to escape its noxious cargo.
