Racism double standard?

[canber]

If the Joe Wilson rant and criticism of Obama is considered to be based on racism (as some are claiming), then why don't we consider the Kayne West rant on behalf of Beyonce and at the expense of Taylor Swift to be based on racism?

Life is a double standard.

Obama is just the president. Kanye is black jesus. No wait, that's Whitey Ford(Everlast).

I consider both racism. The former based on centuries of dominating a race that now has more equality. The latter being based on being part of that race that was dominated for centuries. Both are wrong and have no place in a society that has now more than ever "dedicated it self to the proposition that all men are created equal."

You know one has to wonder how the "press" would have handled this is Beyonce had won, and a drunk "Hank Williams Jr." had got up on stage and insulted her like that.

Crap it would be flying 24/7 on all the networks, jessi jackson and sharpton would be demanding public appologies and monies to poor for black people, and the banning of H. J.'s songs from radio, and CWTV.

It would be made 1000 times more out of it then it is now.

This is a double standard!

Taylor Swift shouldn't be so popular anyways. How can a spoiled teenage girl really be influential in music? I know I can't relate.

Pop culture ruins America hand in hand with ignorance and laziness.

Not really the point of this thread, though is it? Still doesn't give anyone else the right to do what Kayne West did

I agree. We need more teenage girls like Lindsey Evans.

Excuse me, but Serena didn't bully a teenage girl OR try to steal her spotlight during what was quite possibly one of the biggest moments in her life.

[The fact is]

Let's put this to rest now ~ only whites can be racists. Blacks are NEVER racists. The sooner we all accept this the better life will be.

My point is that she is certainly not getting a free pass with the media, which you seem to assume will happen any time a black person publicly acts improperly with someone of a different race. I haven't seen any black leaders coming to her rescue either.
