I agree there are double standards and I accept that. I posted this in another thread a few hours ago.....
Mcd I made a separate thread to not derail this one. I understand there will always be a double standard and that's because of what people did hundreds of years before we were born. However I must ask how extreme will the double standard have to be? Check other thread if you want to discuss LJ
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.
I just saw it for the first time now, he isnt on my twitter feed I read his tweets in an article . I would have gladly posted that tweet it is equally offensive as the black league tweet. I don't think Donald has the right to choose who sits at his games! I have never once said donald was right with the ignorant racist comments he said in the tapes. I just said the punishment is way way out of wack, especially if Shelly the other owner loses the team she loved for 40+ years.
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
