Double standards in NFL news...

Recently Ray Rice, running back for the Baltimore Ravens, was caught on camera in Atlantic City hitting his fiancee.  Granted they were both hitting each other and she had started it by spitting in his face.  Maybe it was in reaction to something he said or at least some sort of dialog between them.  The footage caught them hitting each other.

About a day later TMZ released footage of Rice dragging his unconscious fiancee out of an elevator, also in Atlantic City.  How she became unconscious is unclear but what's been trickling into the news is that there is supposed footage of him hitting her in an elevator.

The public response has largely been an enforcement of societal values that "you don't hit a woman."  While I agree that men shouldn't hit women, what's often not discussed is that women shouldn't be hitting men either.  To accept that it's okay for women to inflict harm on men because men are stronger is to immediately give up the "equality card."  But women don't want that.  They want to be "equal" only in ways that they benefit (employment opportunities, salaries, etc.) but keep the "old school inequalities" from which they also benefit (male chivalry) if they can get away with it.  It seems like part of that "old school inequalities" include being absolved of losing any kind of emotional control when it comes to interacting with males.  So the only consistent thing here is "anything that benefits women" principle.  Women, as a group, would immediately deny that since it, the truth, would undermine their cause.

The real underlying truth is an acceptance that women are unequal to men.  The reason why men or women resort to physical abuse is the loss of emotional control when arguing.  So when society enforces the value or rule that men should never women, what they're doing is holding men to a higher standard of emotional control.  Of course, when a woman hits a man, "the jerk probably deserved it."  But more importantly, the it's okay for a woman to lose it.

Another story in the NFL regarding double standards is the use of the word 'nigger' on the playing field and that the usage of the word would result in a 15-yard penalty.  This is how far the culture has gone in trying to become politically-correct.  Outside of the logistics of trying to enforce this, it is again a reminder that this word is just a pawn in a power-play amongst the races.

For a long time the word, 'nigger', was used as a derogatory word during the civil rights movement from racist whites towards a black person.  And as society progressed passed this movement and there was a general acceptance that racial discrimination was considered bad a new adoption of the word emerged.  The word 'nigger' was now accepted for normal language but only amongst the black community.  I'm not sure what it means because I'm not black and the black community forbids anyone who's not black from using it.  Why?

According to black people, if you're black and say the word 'nigger' it means one thing but if you're not black it carries the old meaning.  So the rest of the non-black population has to resort to using "The N word" to refer to just the word because just saying the word is offensive.  So the phrase, "The N word" is not offensive but 'nigger' is if you're not black.

This whole deal with this word is just a reversal of racial power to put black people in a position of power over other races.  They want to say the word 'nigger' but forbid anyone else from saying it.  In fact, they won't allow you to change the meaning the way they did.  Classic double standard.

Minorities and special groups aren't really about equality.  All they're interested in is to wear the crown and hold the scepter of power while obfuscating the truth and labeling anyone who dares to speak the truth as a racist or a misogynist.  It is completely lost on them that societal rules on "never hitting women" or avoiding "the N word" are the result of anarchistic principles and not the result of government legislation.
