So, if some smart, rich black kid verbally abuses to the point of tears some poor white trash kid for being just that - that is okay. But, if the poor white trash kid fires back with "shut up you stupid fukciung ni**er" that is a no no. I am seeing a blatant double standard here.
And, to me, it is no wonder it exists because the government is constantly implying to black people that they need a helping hand for something that happened 150 or so years ago. Just imagine if all your life, you had been given things under that guise. Wouldn't you feel entitled, even if just a little bit, to preferential treatment in all areas whether you deserved it or not?
