What's up with these racial double standards?

i was reading the sports section of yahoo about the celebration that went on after the Jets made their final score. the announcer called it absurd. in reading the comments there were a few racist comments in the comments section made about the celebration...calling them monkeys and such, and as i can tell there are white people that celebrate too. but it's ok because they are white! blacks celebrating, you're a bunch of monkeys! huh? Rex joined in the celebration, but it's ok because he's white. in Hockey they have fights, if they were black, they are just a bunch of n*ggers, so what do you expect. white people help me understand the double standards placed in our society. i remember there was an article about 50 Cent removing his tattoos and there was such an amazing amount of racists comments that i couldn't help but get annoyed by the double standards...white people get tattoos too...but it's ok because they are white....what????? commit a crime whites are looked at individually, blacks don't get that benefit of being viewed individually, i'm for hating criminals equally, but that's not reality. i pay taxes, never committed a crime, i love America, at least the idea of America. i think most of it is subconscious because of what we ociate blacks with and white with...but the double standards when its racial is very irritating. What Would You Do? had an episode where 2 actors one white and one black stealing a bike....maybe 2 people called the police on the white guy, and almost everyone that witnessed the black actor were on their cell phones quicker than you can blink! what? why? they were doing the same thing!! *sigh*
