When a member of the black community criticizes black men who marry white women, stating that they should be proud of their race and marry only black women, why is there no outrage?
If this situation was reversed and a public white man stated that white men should be proud of their race and only marry white women, there would be national outrage and this man would be ostracized as a bigot racist.
In general why is there a double standard for racism toward the white race?

Well, on the other end, you've got white people who don't want to see black men marrying white women. (And probably even more asians) So they're not going to speak out against it.
Other than that...yeah, there is a double standard. It's almost impossible for a white person to cry racism and be taken seriously (no matter how right or serious they are).

What's considered "PC" or socially acceptable doesn't always make sense.
Remember there was once a time where it was acceptable to make black folks sit in the back of the bus. Didn't make a lick of sense what it was certainly PC at the time.
There's no justifying or explaining it. It one of those ever-changing human nature traits we should all be ashamed of.

Racism? Give it time and the norms of society will dictate that black men should only marry black men.

Race is not a matter of love. You should marry for love and not because of skin color. People that point things out like that are bigots. You should be proud of your spouse whether they are the same race as you or not.

White people would take such a view because they think black man is inferior.
Black people would take such a view because the see it as somehow "taking up with the oppressor."
Different perspectives?

I don't care what color people are. If they want to marry, let them marry.
