OK, if I'm proud of my race and all the things my people have accomplished, and I get mad when people come and destroy our cities, infest our neighborhoods with drugs and crime, you want to call me a racist.
But when a ***** goes on TV saying the exact same things about his "people", you call him a "civil rights activist"
Does anybody else see a double standard?

I wonder who is buying the drugs? It works both ways.

I agree with you 100%. Stupid people get recognized for going to college and having a degree in basket weaving so they get the top spots in jobs like political positions. Let's look at another thing too. If the jerk-offs wouldn't be making money from the auto industry on the side, then they would have never given the big three an easy out or a helping hand. Money from hunting goes into conservation so the politicians are S.O.L. and that is, what I think, the major reason guns are constantly under attack from politicians, because lets face it, a person can kill with a toothbrush, and that has happened several times in our prisons.

well nobody would call you a racist if your upset about your cities being destroyed. But the fact that you refer to people as negroes I would definetly say you are. Civil right activist are not going around calling you a cracker? Therefore they are respectfully saying what they do not like (the actions not the race). See the difference?

TO be proud of your race's fight from oppression and slavery is not racist.
To be proud of your race's accomplishements, accomplishments that were not always afforded them, is not racist.
Had the "white race" as an entirety suffered anything like the oppression, enslavement and murderously egregious mistreatment because of the COLOR of THEIR skin and had to fight to be treated equally because of it, there would be a reason for racial pride. As it is, the color of a white person's skin simply doesn't afford them a group that has been treated that way to identify themselves with. Maybe their religion does. Maybe their sexuality does. Maybe as a member of something other than a race has caused them to be discrimiated against, to have to fight for rights, but, no, not the color of your skin.
I am white. I don;t have pride in my RACE. As a whole, I KNOW my race has had it pretty good. I am proud to be a descendant of suffragists, and not because they were mostly white, but because of their fight. I can understand someone being proud to be a descendant of concentration camp survivors, because of their struggle and the oppression and the torture they lived through. This also had nothing to do with the color of their skin.
Maybe you should look at what fights you are proud of. I think you would realize those battles and the things you are proud of had little to do with fighting for the survival of your race, the equal treatment of your race......
I hope this made sense.
So, no, I don't see a double standard. Your race simply doesn't have the history, as one single uniting unit, of fighting for something AS A RACE. I just don't see it. Surely there are other things in your anscestry you can be very proud of.

Drugs and crime are not race specific, it may seem that way at a casual glance, but they have existed and been a problem in all societies through out time. It would be better to direct your energy at fighting the real causes instead of shallowly looking at the pigment in another human's skin.

Life is full of double standards. It's a hard fact of life. They are everywhere. Double standards exist even amongst the people of same race.

Yes and Not so!
Nobody likes crime, drugs, etc, except those who profit from them.
Explain to me, then where do poor 'negroes' get the funds to finance this trade? They can hardly get by, so where do they get the means to do such big business, except.......
