Just for the record I think each poster in this topic has had extremely valid points. However, there are some people out there who DO generalize and who do become angry when they believe a double-standard exists.
Hootie to answer your question, I referred to PM_Mama, because in another thread she stated her anger over these so-called double standards. I wasn't trying to single her out, but her post prompted me to start this thread. Also, someone named chantillylace agreed with her. I was hoping we could hear more of that side than the side presented by you guys who have posted, because it DOES exist.
I am also not trying to imply that it only occurs in black and white form. The are also gender "double-standards," as well as fill-in-the-blank other race "double standards," if that made any sense.
I think this forum has had many great race discussions since I have begun to visit (some have gotten a little out of hand, but most have been fairly educational). This is a topic most people have shied away from, even though it is one of the most problematic.
Arya, it is not a point of getting along, although I realize you were just trying to lighten this thread up. Fortunately, it has not degenerated just yet, but we may need you a little later, lol.
