In your response from the last question you said that you only mean SOME white people. But look at your question, you are saying "why do white people complain.....".
I'm white and I'm not complaining.
Heres what I see as a double standard.
A male teacher molests a student - 10 years in prison or more.
A female teacher molests a male student - hurray for the lucky kid! Female goes virtually free.
It's amazing that it's not okay for the guy, but it is for the female even though she is causing the same emotional damage.
That's a double standard.

Because there is a double standard. If a race wants equality, why do they deserve preferential treatment? I find it funny that the person posting this is what in your 20's. Do you think you have it rough? 50 years ago it was rough for blacks - Today it's rough for every other race to walk on eggshells as to not offend you. Let me ask you There is a United ***** College Fund, right? What if there was a United Caucasion College fund? God...Al Sharpton, Jesse jackson would cry that it was racist? Why is that...That is what they call a double standard.

you as a human being should know there is no such creature as a whiteperson or people. The psychology is one for you to think there is a pure,clean,unadultrated person and on the other hand black, meaning dark, somber, unclean, and anything else thats negative, in your mind. You are hurting yourself.You need to read more. If a complaint is about doble standards its only a form of reinforcement.

It's because there's a HUGE DOUBLE STANDARD in American race relations. Minorities can say almost anything they want to about Whites, & they are very rarely considered to be racist. But White Americans are forced to be extra sensitive when ever talking about a minority group. When White people do bad things to non-Whites it's called racism. Non-Whites aren't called racists when they do bad things to White people. Don't you see this double-standard?

Could you explain to us the double standards you speak of that we created? and explain to me how we have used this double standard to our advantage in the past 100+ years. I am not trying to prove a point by subjecting you to provide PROOF--I am really at a lost here. You're saying that we are complaining of double standards then accuse us of creating this double standard.
in order for a double standard to set motion is when you have a governed law that REQUIRES all people to be equal, in turn, you have a group to demand they are required to tilt that balance of equality to work in their favor while trying to silence the other groups.
anyway, before I get too sidetracked I will just wait for your answer so I could go on with more, in detail, and try to answer your question.

I'm Latina ...i don't take sides I'm too dark to be white and to fair skin to be black but lets face it "some"black people are as or maybe even worse then some white , think is wrong to be racist against blacks? well ....guess what? it goes both ways ...yes yes yes........you will meet some white people that might look at you as a color not as an individual well that just don't seem fair doest it?? hell no!! maybe you should teach some of those white folks how respect you and your community by showing them that you are an educated black man regardless or what static tics say...so don't put white people down ....it just make you look as racist and as ignorant as the same people you are judging.

people (not just white people) only complain about double standards when they don't have any better reasons to complain about somebody that they might envy
