Double Standard

I have just been reading an article in the Daily Mail about the demographics involved during the recent elections in the USA.

And this sentence stood out more than any other, as far as I am concerned;

'95% of black voters went to the ballot for Obama and only 4% for McCain.'

Now correct me if I am wrong, but if 95% of white voters had voted for McCain, do you think this would have just been a passing sentence in an article? Or do you think there would have been a bit more made of such a fact?

Well, unless you have lost the capacity to think for yourself, and strangely a lot of people have these days, I think you would have to answer that yes, there would have been a lot more made of it.

It goes without saying that had these percentages been reversed, and 95% of whites had voted for McCain, the anguished cries of racism would be reverberating around the world today, in every newspaper, and on every screen.

In fact the self flagellation of guilt ridden liberals would have been hard for normal people to stomach.

Yet here in this instance racism, or race preference, is not only considered natural, and perfectly acceptable, but actually applauded too. In fact they sound disappointed he never got even more blacks out to vote for him.

There is a huge, and glaring double standard here, yet amazingly, not many people are able to see it.

We live in strange times, of that there can be no doubt.

But at least some people are happy now:
