What you appeared to be insisting on was the same piss poor standards applied all around to achieve equality.
Minors should be considered differently to adults in terms of degrees of responsibility, the ability to consider consequences of their actions etc. Regardless of colour. If there is inequality in the system, the ideal fix is the raising of standards to a acceptable level, not the dragging everyone down to lowest common denominator
Yeah, campaigning has been going well for the last few centuries hasn't it and now it's going backwards. Maybe having the "pisspoor standards" applied to everyone it might actually bring about changes?
If everyone has the same standards, that's equality though. If your standards as a white person need to drop to those being mistreated then what? What's the problem? Too much of a coward to be treated the same as everyone else? Enjoying white privilege too much? These are the questions to ask aren't they? I'm Spartacus?
