Race baiting media at it again...

I'm a conservative American but I don't nitpick as much as you do. Double standards DO exist and sometimes they ARE valid. "White power" is as bad as "black power". One has KKK connotations, the other, Black Panthers.

Nitpick? LOL. Getting sick and tired of double standard BS is "nitpicking"? This guy wasn't advertising or supporting the KKK. Only thing he did was have the word "white" tattooed on his arm. It didn't say "white power" or "KKK rules" or any other racist slogan. So the word "white" is going to be considered a racist word from now on?

Funny Clinton signed a law as governor honoring the confederate Flag, when he ran for President he had a Clinton/Gore Pin with the flag on it, he also belongs to a white only golf club to this day.

At a funeral for Senator Robert Bird a staunch KKK member lead the filibuster against the American Civil Liberty Act.

Bill Clinton was making excuses for a this guy at his funeral.

Talk about bullshit. Liberals would have no standards if they didn't have a double standard.

Not to mention the people that started the confederacy where liberal Democrates. Now her deleting this photo and trying to cover it up is equally as deplorable.

LOL. The overwhelming majority of people in this thread who are making lame ass excuses for this double standard behavior are not even American.

Remember America is the the most respected country in the world and we have Obama as our leader. We can expect that we will have many haters and naysayers.

With Obama is charge, we shall not tire or fail.

Yes, because some double standards are in place for a reason. The fact that you simply call it a "double standard" ignores the context completely.

LOL. No. Double standards are never justified, dude. So the word "white" is a racist term now? That is the only thing the tattoo on his arm said. It didn't say "white power" or something else obviously racist. Just "white" which could've meant a dozen different things. Even if it meant he was actually proud of being white how is that a crime? So it's not ok for him to wear a tattoo that says "white" but it's ok for blacks to blast their garbage "music" about murdering white cops and raping white women?

Sorry, but I'm not buying your claim that you're a conservative. Not for a second. You sound awfully libtarded. If you check out the comments below that article you'll see that I'm not the only one who is "nitpicking" (LOL) about double standards.

Yeah, of course it makes sense for someone like her though I guess. She knows she can't be associated with anything that blacks might stupidly interpret as racism as they typically do at every little thing. She relies on the colored votes too much to do something like that.

You should also consider the context in which each group arose. BPs, however flawed and backward they might be in their approach and philosophy, formed to protect black communities from white mob violence, whereas the KKK formed to (1) keep black people from exercising their right to vote and (2) to chase Northern Republicans out of the South so as to perpetuate white dominance over blacks.

This is one of those instances where to say "both sides are bad" ignores the bigger problem: that both groups arise from a situation where whites are in an unfair dominant position over blacks.

Saying the BP are just as bad as the KKK. Oh, my. How Embarrassing.

Whatever, psmith. I have no interest in trying to reason with someone who thinks this double standard behavior is acceptable. It outright disgusts me that people have an attitude like yours about this. Good day.

I think I could accidentally step into a Black Panther meeting and the worst that would happen is I'd get shoved out roughly.

A black man who stumbles onto a KKK gathering in the woods...

You raise a valid point, and we should be on guard against hate groups of any provenance, but let's not let this skew the fact that the Black Panthers haven't racked up nearly the same racially-motivated bodycount as the KKK have, even just considering the last 50 years to make it fair to the BP who haven't been around nearly as long.

But that's not to say they're both the same.

Granted, I was just presenting two different perspectives so there is no "double standard", and Star wouldn't blow a gasket.

Their formations notwithstanding, they've both done some pretty abhorrent things. To say "black panther" paints anything other than an unflattering picture, would be intellectually dishonest.

But that's not to say they're both the same.

Oh jesus, I look liberal compared to you. Example of a justified double standard: domestic abuse. Men are predominantly guilty for domestic abuse, as well as being bigger and stronger than women, therefore they are held to a different stand. There's no "never" in your argument.

My opinion:

First off, this is just because of the way I was raised, but anyone I see with a tattoo is automatically calorized as a deviant. I realize that is completely wrong, and that I should never judge a book by its cover. But it is the truth.

If I were to see a white man with a tattoo that said "white" I might think he was a deviant racist. Also, a black with a tattoo of the word black would also be a deviant racist. However, I would immediately remind myself that all people are Buddhas at their base nature, and that I should withhold judgment.

Just don't bother with Star.

It's amusing that even self-labeled conservatives pause and think "WTF, dude" after just a couple exchanges with him.
