But once again, racism is condemned in one direction and embraced and celebrated in the other. If you're white and you don't like black people, your music album gets headlines that blare "Racist Hate." If you're black and don't like white people, your album gets 5 stars out of 5.

Yeah. I've seen this game since the mid-90s. I do not agree with it. Folks tried telling me it was a "strategy". I thought it was a really stupid strategy. And here's why - it opens the flood gates to all kinds of hateful "identity politics" (Pro-Palestinian, Anti-Jew, etc) and attempts to use a "double-standard" excuse to condone bigotry, incivility, and ignorance. .

Just proves again, to me, how closely each and all of the race identity groups "work" in tandem towards achieving the same anti-United States goals.

Double-standards rebound throughout life. From the personal to the political, to just about everything.

What makes for a civilized world is NOT that we play "sibling rivalry" games, but rather that we do not Join In on such ugliness. That we grow smarter, rising above the ugly.

Exactly, the fact that much of Rap music is evil does not make the so called "Prussian Blue" the least bit less evil itself.

"Ours is the golden age of minorities. At no time in the past have dissident minorities felt so much at home and had so much room to throw their weight around. They speak and act as if they were "the people," and what they abominate most is the dissent of the majority. The self-assertion of the majority, except on election day, is seen as a threat to freedom. It used to be minorities looked over their shoulders wondering what the majority thought of them. Now it is the majority that wonders what the minorities think." --Eric Hoffer
