What you suggest *is* oppression, it *is* subservience but not for your race. For mine. Not content with the ideal that we should all be equal in terms of rights you would seek to give the right to one race to show hatred to another. This would inevitably encourage hatred in return.
Like I said; unacceptable.
Isn't what you describe as unacceptable almost the norm in the United States? For example, it is perfectly acceptable for people to badmouth the white Republicans especially about them being white, but if someone says something bad about Obama, it becomes racist. Also minorities can say racist words, but as soon as a white person says it, they are extremely chastised.
On equal rights, I would support them if there were actual equal rights. There are not.
Anyone with any intelligence agrees those people who "badmouth" based purely on race, any race, are moronic, prejudiced assholes as are the people who agree with them. It is not acceptable by any stretch of the imagination nor is your sinking to their level and then attempting to cover your tracks. It is common knowledge among anyone with a solid grasp of human nature and current events that most members of the public in the *world*, let alone in the US, are idiots who will believe anything and follow the crowd as soon as blink.
If you feel obligated to conform to that crowd in your line of reasoning then do not expect anyone here to credit you with any strength of character or sound judgement. You forfeit any right to claim that the second you use "well everyone else is doing it" as an excuse.
