It has become increasingly clear that when it comes to issues of race and equality, the media is swayed in favor of minorities. The truth is, stories about injustice sell. The other truth is, that makes it virtually impossible to avoid a debilitating double standard.

It’s easy to see that any conservation who takes a stand against amnesty is deemed a racist. School teachers who ask their students to speak in English are discriminatory. And those who defend themselves are committing hate crimes.

However, Representative Charlie Rangel received very little backlash after telling the world that the tea party is made of “white crackers.”

According to the Washington Times, the New York Congressman claimed that conservatives are “the same group we faced in the South with those white crackers and the dogs and the police.” He also accused House Republicans of having intentions to “sabotage.”

“Terrorists couldn’t do a better job than the Republicans are doing,” he concluded.

What do you think? Does the media need to start covering all racism and stop promoting inequality?
