Double Standards

[Naiwen]

So yes... people do have double standards like for example, on a forum, Blacks saying anti-White stuff and getting away with it while White people who do say these things don't...

What's a double standard: it's when something applies to a certain group, while not applying it to another.

I don't think anyone will disagree that there are cases of double standards everywhere.

The only debate on this topic would be if somebody thought there weren't double standards alive and well in the world.

I don't think there's anybody that naive.

But, are they "justified"?

"Justified"?

No.

But like mud and cold French Fries, they are simply a fact of life, and there seem to be plenty to go around for everybody.

Have you been on the short side of a double standard?

If yes, how did you feel about it?

If you can answer the first question with a yes then you can answer the second question. You can then answer your own question using the answer to my second question.

 

[Naiwen]

Yes, and I didn't like it.

 

[DrLeftover]

At some point you will realize that, as a generalized stereotypical profile full of double (and triple) standards through all of the individual collectives of male and female (and everything else) pride, in democracies, theocracies, dictatorships and even under military junta's....

Edwards: Why the big secret? People are smart. They can handle it.

Kay: A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it. Fifteen hundred years ago everybody knew the Earth was the center of the universe. Five hundred years ago, everybody knew the Earth was flat, and fifteen minutes ago, you knew that humans were alone on this planet. Imagine what you'll know tomorrow.

Fact.

Liberals do not have to be tolerant of other points of view.
