I see no double standard.
In both threads, most folks said how disturbing it is.
BUT... the double standard isnt just in
, its in society... like he said, if a white man were to get up and say i hate blacks... it would be all over EVERY news channel and white people would be the most racist a-holes ever... thing is, it goes on everyday- even on BET, that channel is nothing but racism towards white people- their news slogan, "OUR culture, OUR people, OUR news" but if anyone slips and says "you people" its a racial debate that could go on forever...
perfect example... im 19, and my junior year in high school, i was issued a letter of repremand by the district because we were talking about a girl in our class and i said "yea, shes black"- i swear on my life thats all i said... the girl overheard THAT part, and reported me to administration... they conducted their own little investigation that day, and ONLY the kid i said it to heard me, and this girl sat on the other side of the class... when you bring a weapon to school, you get a representative from the district- that SAME guy came to talk to me and explain that i COULD be expelled, and at the very least get this "letter" which meant if i was EVER associated (in any way) with any other racial situation in high school, i WAS IMMEDIATELY expelled... it turned ou tto be no big deal, except that i was known as a skinhead racist (i have real short hair) among the "minorities"... funny thing is, on a daily basis, we were all called "white boy", "honkey", "cracker", etc, but THAT is NOT racism!!!
THAT is the double standard in society... i am not, nor do i promote racists, but that kind of shit really gives me a negative attitude toward so called "minorities"- another funny thing... the "minorities" in our school totalled around 52% of the population, with whites around 48%... go figure
(sorry for the rant)
