Double standards
You read this over and over again on the webs. Look, you have got to learn how to fight this stuff. So, I offer this suggestion:
Cite the Dred Scott decision during the run-up to the Civil War. The Chief Justice was quoted to have said that the slaves have no rights that any white man could respect. This is a rather infamous quote. But if the current zeitgeist is to turn the tables on the white man, could that be a double-edged sword?
A double-edged sword cuts both ways. If it is inherently wrong and evil to say what the Chief Justice said in those times, then why is it not evil TODAY? The quote applies to any application of a double-standard. In those times, there was a double standard with regard to one class of people to another. If the same is happening today, but with another class of people that once were oppressing another, why is it okay NOW?
I cannot find the offending quote in the Wikipedia, but I know I've seen it.
Nobody lecture me about Wikipedia. If there is an attempt to scrub it, we'll know WHY.
If the idea is to punish America, it is clearly consistent with a lot of what is going on these days.
