[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 1198988, member: 4362"] I agree and echo your statements. Everyone deserves equal treatment under the law but at the same time we all have a responsibility to act civilly and obey the law in our society. Its all about equality. I think its wrong to treat someone differently than another based on skin color and like you say you would have the same opinion if he were a caucasian as would I. He is the one that escalated matters so he owns the responsibility for the results of his actions. Its travesty for sure but its of his own making because it didn't have to be this way. I think it is discriminatory to treat him any different and I think its discriminatory for people to think he should be held at a different standard than a Caucasian or any other race. I also think affirmative action is discriminatory. I view affirmative action and these recent fiascos as extreme cases of racism. Not from the standpoint of blacks being mistreated but from the standpoint that by some wanting these standards of civility to be lowered because of race implies that blacks are not as smart as other races. They cannot help themselves or they are not civilized enough to be treated equally so society must lower its standards for them. This is utter nonsense and this is not what MLK gave his life for! This is not equality and if I were a member of the black community I would be insulted if society viewed me in that light. [/QUOTE]
