so how is that double standard amongst the blacks only? it's quite simple actually - people want to hate, hating the one that's different is the easiest route to go. So Christians hate Muslims, blacks hate whites, Tutsis hate Hutus and so on. After the hate comes the justification, 20 000 Sikhs were slaughtered after two Sikh bodyguards killed Indira Gandhi, so "hey, they killed our prime minister, we killed them" - it's not that difficult, is it?

and as for the blacks committing huge %-age of the violent crimes in the US, compare oranges with oranges - do educated blacks that make 4k a month commit 5 times more murders than their white colleagues? I don't thnk so.

that's simple too, poor people = violent crimes, and the poor amongst the blacks are much higher %-age than the poor amongst the whites or Asians. Well, if they weren't that lazy they would've been poor on a first place but that's another story...
True words. The double standard is a regular thing. It's applied all the time because it can be easily used in every situation. The problem is that ignorant people can hardly recognize it and assume the double standard as the truth.
