The Other Double Standard

Rather than write a long rant about what's wrong with our current political system, I just have a few questions about a double standard:

1. What if a Black man showed up to a presidential event with a gun strapped to his back and a sign that read, "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of tyrants?"

2. What if a Black man got on a nationally syndicated radio show, such as Glenn Beck's, and advised people to go out and purchase guns...to be armed and dangerous?

3. What if a Black man had spat on a Congressman?

4. What if a group of Black men had beat up a small, white female protester in Kentucky?


5. Why haven't there been any Congressional hearings for White Supremacist groups? Why haven't they been summoned to the Hill?

I think we know the answer to these questions...People often conclude that Black people in America are too sensitive and play the race card when race isn't even in the game. But anybody reading these questions, regardless of color, knows the answer.

Think I'm just spouting conspiracy theories here? Replace the word "Black" with "Mexican." The answers would still be the same.
