I think out of any race the blacks are the one that use the race card the most. Also I think a lot of people have issues with Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackcson. I do not ever see a black person ever say a bad word about either of those two men publicly. So it is a black and white issue, but it is usually started by someone like Al Sharpton. He now claims that he is going to go after the rappers to use better language. Good luck with that.

You do have the same thing, it's called The U.S. Government!
There are white "groups" and militia's, and the Klan all over the country!
It's only a Black / White issue to YOU! .It's not to us, it's about right and wrong.
You can start what ever group you want.
How long did, and does the confederate flag fly in the south? A FLAG!
From Government buildings!
I agree there is a double standard.
I have been bitching about rap for years.
A guy on a news show is not the same as Comedy Central. Comedy is for us to laugh about ourselves and events, and it's normally not done in a disrespectful manner, and if it is, DON"T watch it, but don't sit there and say everytime Jesse Jackson, or Al Sharpton speaks that they are speaking for everybody black in the country.
They are speaking for themselves and their agenda. Sometimes it benefits everybody, sometimes just some people, sometimes just themselves.
When I need to be heard, you will hear me, either with my dollar or my vote.
Stop grouping us under a bunch of media statements, that is where the problem is.
Do you think I think that Jeff Foxworthy is ALL white people?
When the NAACP started, we were not even considered equal citizens under the eyes of society and the law, and I expect if you are part of a race of people that has been treated like that for most of the history of your country, you may have a group or two just to make sure things are on the up and up.
The NAACP is not racists, it was created to stop racism!
Do you have nay relatives or ancestors that have been hung, or were slaves?
It has not been that long, and I still get pulled over from time to time, because, "I fit the description.." So don't sit back and act like people in this country are not treated unfairly.
You couldn't pay me to be Arab American right now.
Every minority has an organization that "looks out".
If you want to start "The Organization for the Advancement of White Guys", knock yourself out.
Nobody really cares.
You will stop having a problem when you stop thinking of all Black people as one big collective, and start recognizing that Blacks in this country are Americans first.
What did they used to call it when you judged a group of people based on preconceived notions? Oh yeah, prejudice!
