Racial Double-Standards: How the Media Ignores Anti-White Racism

Michael D
There seems to be a double-standard in America today where the elements of free-speech and media collide. Unless you've been living on a deserted island in the middle of the Atlantic for the past week, you know all about the Imus fiasco. What Don Imus said is considered to be racist, sexist, and intolerant to the Black community, and to a point, they're correct.

But, what happens when Black personalities use racist remarks on television and radio? What most people are unaware of is that there have been Blacks that have used racist and down-right hateful language on television as well.

On October 14, 2005 and Black Professor by the name of Kamau Kambon, while addressing a panel at Howard University Law School, used these words live on C-SPAN: "We have to exterminate White people off the face of the planet." During an interview on the O'Reilly Factor with Bill O'Reilly, a Black author and radio personality named Quanell X made these extremely racist remarks: "I say in the words of Malcolm X, if you find any good White people, kill them now before they turn bad." There was no media backlash. No pickets. No "Stop the Hate" marches. And there certainly were no live media conferences discussing hate and racism in the media as there was for the Imus comment.

Today, media outlets across the country are talking about why Imus was fired from MSNBC. It seems that they think it's for political reasons. The simple truth of it all is that Imus' remarks have made such a stir simply because he's White. The ugly double-standards monster has raised its head yet again.

Do you think that if a Black personality had used the term 'nappy-headed hoes' while discussing the Rutgers Girls Basketball Team there would have been the same reaction? Better yet, would there have been any criticism on a Black personality for saying the same thing about an all White girls team?

If the media will ignore a Black personality that says, "..if you find any good White people, kill them now before they turn bad.", or "We need to exterminate White people off the face of the planet.", wouldn't it be fair to say there is indeed a double-standard against Whites where racial matters are concerned?

The awful truth that we all should speak loudly about is, yes. I've mention only two examples of this double-standard. There are hundreds more on TV, radio, and even big budget movies. Speak up against it if you truly believe in racial-equality.

But don't take my word for any of this. I urge everyone reading this to do your own research. Look up the Wichita massacre where six white people were brutally raped, robbed, and murdered during a home invasion in the Winter of 2000 in Wichita, KS by two black brothers named Reginald and Jonathan Carr.

Also the recent carjacking that led to the double-murder of a white couple barely in their 20's named Channon Christian and Christopher Newsome in Knoxville, TN in January of 2007. Their killers, 6 African-Americans, raped, dismembered, and murdered both of them. Neither of these atrocious murders made the slightest dent in the airtime of any of the "big 3" (FOX, MSNBC, CNN). Why? That's for you to decide.

    I did not say contemporary America is racist, although many of its laws and policies favor the wealthy, which means the poor (who are disproportionally represented by minorities) draw the short end of the stick. Asians have the highest median income because many of them immigrated here with college education, and they bring accumulated wealth from their home countries. Also, if you look closer, the Japanese, Korean, and Chinese have the disproportionately high incomes. The Vietnamese, Cambodian, and other Asian ethnic groups have similar levels of poverty to African Americans. The key difference between these varying social and ethnic strata? Education and prior accumulation of wealth. 60 years is nowhere enough for Blacks to close the wealth gap because the white hick brothers in the south never really recovered economically from the effects of the civil war.

    The reason there is still racism in the world is because people continue to categorize each other by the color of their skin. I'm not going to tell you my race- it's irrelevant to how I feel, how I should be treated and most importantly, what I can do.

    I can tell you this though- I am in no way the same as people just because they share a skin tone. My ancestors were my ancestors- their struggles and history are theirs, not mine.

    Every single ethnicity on this planet has been discriminated against in some form or another- that doesn't make any one of them more or less "special" than the others.

    If a white person can't say the N word, a black person can't say it. If a black person can do whiteface, a white person can do blackface. There'll come a day when pure races no longer exist because we're all mixed- how will we point the finger then?

    Double standards are childish and ridiculous and it's about time America grew up.

    Everybody says there is this RACE problem. Everybody says this RACE problem will be solved when the third world pours into EVERY white country and ONLY into white countries.

    The Netherlands and Belgium are just as crowded as Japan or Taiwan, but nobody says Japan or Taiwan will solve this RACE problem by bringing in millions of third worlders and quote assimilating unquote with them.

    Everybody says the final solution to this RACE problem is for EVERY white country and ONLY white countries to assimilate, i.e., intermarry, with all those non-whites.

    What if I said there was this RACE problem and this RACE problem would be solved only if hundreds of millions of non-blacks were brought into EVERY black country and ONLY into black countries?

    How long would it take anyone to realise Im not talking about a RACE problem. I am talking about the final solution to the BLACK problem?

    And how long would it take any sane black man to notice this and what kind of psycho black man would

    Racism is seeing a foreigner come into your country that you absolutely know anything about..... It just seems strange...... why are you looking at me all funny?

    Hey folks, if any of you are against racism, then I ask you to go to youtube and search on 'LCK being white' and flag the video. If you are sick of the racist double standards against whites, or against anyone for that matter, flag the video, leave your opinion, and boycott the advertisers. Thank you. Here is an address:

  • Hi Tony 12/22/2010

    Quit living in the past. America is not a racist country...Blacks cry about racism all day and night instead of doing their homework... If America is so racist against minorities then why do Asians have the highest median income of all races? All blacks want to do is cry about how sixty years ago there were laws that discriminated against them...You were not even born yet but your mind is stuck sixty years in the past..It is sad really

    Another point: Miss Black America Pageants exist because due to segregation, black were NOT allowed in the Miss America Pageants. So while you are entitled to your opinions, please keep an open mind.

    While in no way I am justifying racism against whites by blacks, I want to argue that racial equality is not racial EQUITY. It is not fair to brush off systematic enslavement of blacks just because it happened 250 years ago and you were not responsible for it. You may say affirmative action is racist, but the fact is, blacks are disadvantaged to this day, because of institutional racism. So it is not fair for whites to say discrimination is one way, when blacks have been discriminated against for centuries. The cumulative effects of racial inequality, is still felt today by many blacks. Racism is political in the U.S. Examples of which include the G.I. Bill, Racially restricted covenants, discriminatory loans and so on. The racial wealth gap is explained by these factors, not because blacks were not as motivated as whites or a myriad of other explanations. What you are doing is ignoring white privilege for the past 250 years. Also blacks are underrepresented in all political positions

    Dang! It seems like these white girls love to fight now and continue to run around beating up black girls. Seriously, this nonsense has turned into a competition among white girls I guess to see who can beat up more black girls. It has become a trend!

    Have you seen all of the videos posted on the internet? These are just “some” of the numerous videos popping up all over the internet capturing fights between white girls and black girls. The outcome of these fights is shockingly consistent. The white girls are consistently beating up the black girls!! It’s a scenario most people would have NEVER predicted since most white girls were not even interested in fighting until recent years.

    In this particular video (http://www.worldstarhiphop.com/videos/video.php?v=wshhjHGTQk53346I4a16) we have a couple of trailer trash white girls speaking straight from their hearts about how they feel and yelling at the top of their lungs… talking about “welcome to the south bitch” in one brea
