I agree completely with you, color SHOULDN’T matter.

I was pointing out that if the races were white on black then Sharpton and Jackson would be there on the first flight to bring national attention to it, and demanding that hate crimes be tacked on to the assault charges.

If the victim was black or white it won’t matter if the perps were black.

Do I believe there is a double standard at play?

Yes.

If the perps were white it would make a huge difference to the national media and the camera whores like Sharpton who call them for face time.

Unfortunately you are correct. The color of the victims and perps does matter due to race hustlers and their supporters.

The hypocrisy of this knee jerk reaction by some to always see race is:

1) If the color of the perps was white. It would immediately be classified as a racial event.

2) If the color of perps was black, then you are racist for assuming it was a hate crime.

That constant reliance on the ‘race card’ perplexes most folks and halts most meaningful discussions on race. JMHO.
