let me add... everyone has double standards in their lives that help or hurt them. When I get pulled over I never get a rough treatment by the cops, is it because I am white and in a nice car? Yes that's a factor I am sure. I also never get harassed and I have heard stories from people in my own social group that are minorities that have had bad experiences I have not. I understand that double standards go both ways I also understand white males have more wins then losses in the double standard department. on the flip side I am Irish and first generation american so my ancestors weren't part of any of Americas bigoted early history.

Again in I am saying double standards are a way of life, good and bad. But we are getting to the point when one segment of the population is afraid to speak and another can say virtually anything at anytime. The degree is getting so extreme it's dangerous
