I have noticed that when black callers give their opinion about the war between Israel and Lebanon, if they say that Israel is wrong some callers label all blacks as anti semetic. Does anyone have any idea why there is a double standard for blacks, don't they have opinions like others and don't they see the same things as others. I notice if black callers state a particular opinion about a particular subject some callers seem to think that all blacks will think the same or fit into a particular mode. I know some will say that most blacks vote democratic but from what we have seen in the past few years, I think they were correct in doing so.
