"Er.. What double standard do I exactly enjoy? I can be a racist with impunity? Is that it..? I didn't really understand your first post (prolly cause it didn't make much sense)"

..another example of stupid assumptions made from an emotional response.

Just because you belong to a racial group that enjoys racial double standards, does not make you a racist per se. However, if you are OK with racial college admissions, police and fire department hiring and promotion policies, governmental programs and policies that target "minority" businessmen and contractors, the Black Congressional Caucus, Black Student Unions/groups/clubs sanctioned by colleges, paid for by ALL students, non institutionalized racism like BET, JET magazine, MS Black America etc, then perhaps YOU are a racist.

"Yeah man. Start listing all of the institutionalized racism where it benefits only Black people. And to think I have been missing out on all of these benefits...hmmmm"

Read above, apply for minority loans, contracts, college admissions etc, then ask yourself, will "lormand" or his son, have the same opportunity for these same exact things? Then ask yourself, are there any such programs geared just for White people? A martian landing on earth for the first time would see this clearly. Why cannot you?

..just telling it like it is. The truth hurts, but it remains the truth.

Oh do tell oh great purveyor of the truth! Well I happen to know quite a bit about black-white relations and racism. Quite a bit more then you then you, I think, since I am half black and half white. (gasp)

Personally I oppose racial college admissions, police and fire department hiring and promotion policies, governmental programs (ie affirmitive action policies) because they provide very little real benefit to a small percentage of African American's, and because they provide a huge target for disillusioned white men (a small percentage of which who are racist) to whine and cry reverse racism. I oppose The Black Congressional Caucus, Black Student Unions/groups/clubs sanctioned by colleges, because they support they are primarily extensions of the Democratic party, and their message is tired and irrelavent.

I have nothing against BET, JET magazine, MS Black America etc. I do not consider them to be be non institutionalized racism. As they are simply businesses with a target demographic that advertisers are trying to reach.

Despite all of the racial double standards the black people "enjoy", I still think that you would (if you ever got of your high horse and came back down to reality, which I doubt) agree, along with the 99% of Americans both white and black, that it is a much better thing to be white in the US then to be black.
