Double standard?

Alright - here's the double standard:

I am not in the habit of referring to "blacks on welfare" and it is highly likely that a GOP candidate who did would be lambasted in the media, as they should be.

On the other hand, Dem references to "uneducated whites" is considered acceptable - as that reflects the left-wing view.

There is a double standard for you.
