O'Reilly to black guest: "You look like a cocaine dealer."

Marc Lamont Hill Phd Avon 'Need my corners' Barksdale <insert wild accusation from Acealive> Don't go there dude. And he would be justified in saying something. I know it's implied that they all look alike. But if you've actually been around people of color for any extended period of time you would know that's not true. For the record those two look nothing alike. Just stop digging now.

Didn't realize I was implying that I was the one who was thinking that.

When a dem or even dirtier word "liberal" says it it's likely that he's just making an extremely bad joke. However, when someone from the right says it it has to be taken more seriously becuase of the origins and the agenda ofthe modern republican party, which to put it likely has not scored very high in the race relations dept. Ah, so what you're saying is that it's a double-standard. Exactly what I thought and it's good that someone else validates my opinion on the matter. So, it's okay for a leftist to crack an uncouth joke because they're a leftist, but someone right-of-stream doing it is either a racist, fascist, or a mixture of the combinations. In other words, depending on your political party, it's more socially acceptable for some people to make crass jokes as opposed to others. All politics. j.p.

And on that topic, life is not fair, double standards are a part of life in virtually all facets Wanna see? Let me use a racial epithet towards brown people and let you do it. I hink we will both conceed that it would be more acceptable for me to say it. See? Double standard number one. The way women can do and sa a whole slew of things to us that we can't return the favor on. Double standard. The way when one political party is in power and they do things that the subsequent administration does. For some reason they are the devil when they do it but it's ok when our people do it. Double standard. Despite the prhase, "all men are created equal" Being in the constitution and having to fight until recently for equal rights there are still states making racist laws (see Arizona). Double standard. All this contributes the the white male angst we see manifesting itself in the tea bagger movement. I understand but let's not pretend double standards aren't business as usual. As for my opinion on it O'reilly is a dick for doing it. Bill Maher who is a liberal says alot of borderlineracist/racist things virtually every week and he's a dick for doing it as well. I guess because he sleeps with alot of black women he feels that entitles him to do that I guess.
