Why is it okay to hate on white people and Christians, but not blacks or Muslims?

It's cool to make fun of heterosexuals too, but not gays.

Can we have some consistency?

Update:

@Beat-tard: If you re-read the question, you will notice there are no complaints. It is, after all, a question.

Update 2:

It's interesting to see that some people challenge the legitimacy of this quandary. You bunch of ***-nogs.

Update 3:

@Beat-tard: Stop complaining. You are seriously dumb.

Update 4:

@Beat-tard: I'm giving your response the seriousness it deserves. You haven't shattered anything. In fact, your complaints are nothing new and par for the course.

The fact that you can justify treating one race in a way that you would never treat another immediately zaps any credibility you thought you had. So, thanks for playing.

You're a sad, sad little man.

Update 5:

"I'm not justifying the actions of anyone. I'm pointing that the very idea that you base your question on (that whites are the only group that receives any 'hate' in today's society) is an utter and total falsity. Dreamed up by a system so corrupt and broken that it believes a single joke, a single act, is equivalent - if not worth more - than the actions of every single systematic, governmental decision made in this country about race from its inception to this day.

It's an absurdity so grand and blind its enough to make one burst out laughing if it were so insidious, dubious and despicable in its very form, from top-to-bottom."

I'm seriously starting to question your reading comprehension at this point. If you're done knocking down straw-men, I'll get on with my day.

    If you're PC then none of it is cool. Personally I hate everyone equally.

    Yeah, I'm sure if you switched socioeconomic situations with blacks or Muslims they'd be willing to take as many jabs as you could throw at them (P.S. the average white person in this country still owns 20x's the wealth the average black person does ($100,000 vs. $5,000)).

    God, what's truly shameful about being white are the people that complain every second of the day that they're not allowed to hang black people that talk smart to them anymore, so therefore the system is now aligned against whites...

    Grow. The. ****. Up.

    "If you re-read the question, you will notice there are no complaints."

    The entire concept of the question is a complaint because it's empirically false. The day a white man is born he is 20x's better off than his black counterpart.

    You tell me what's truly hateful, a joke about how white guys walk, or keeping an entire race in poverty for 40+ years after so-called anti-discrimination legislation was passed and calling it "post-racial progress."

    "Stop complaining. You are seriously dumb."

    Yeah, exactly. I come with facts and an analytic conclusion based on those facts. You come with a childish complaint in the guise of a "question" and then immediately reject anything that shatters your myopic, jaundiced worldview as, "dumb."

    Thus confirming that everyone that asks questions like this has no grasp of reality.

    “The true ethical test is not only the readiness to save the victims, but also - even more, perhaps - the ruthless dedication to annihilating those who made them victims.”

    “Liberal attitudes towards the other are characterized both by respect for otherness, openness to it, and an obsessive fear of harassment. In short, the other is welcomed insofar as its presence is not intrusive, insofar as it is not really the other. Tolerance thus coincides with its opposite. My duty to be tolerant towards the other effectively means that I should not get too close to him or her, not intrude into his space—in short, that I should respect his intolerance towards my over-proximity. This is increasingly emerging as the central human right of advanced capitalist society: the right not to be ‘harassed’, that is, to be kept at a safe distance from others.”

    “For the multiculturalist, white Anglo-Saxon Protestants are prohibited, Italians and Irish get a little respect, blacks are good, native Americans are even better. The further away we go, the more they deserve respect. This is a kind of inverted, patronising respect that puts everyone at a distance.”

    “Word is murder of a thing, not only in the elementary sense of implying its absence - by naming a thing, we treat it as absent, as dead, although it is still present - but above all in the sense of its radical dissection: the word 'quarters' the thing, it tears it out of the embedment in its concrete context, it treats its component parts as entities with an autonomous existence: we speak about color, form, shape, etc., as if they possessed self-sufficient being.”

    “We feel free because we lack the very language to articulate our unfreedom.”

    And I see once he is totally defeated he chooses not to respond... And I'm the "sad" one...

    Because if a White Christian Male mocks someone of a different skin color, or orientation then it's a hate crime. But if it done to the Christian then its retribution and should be treated as some sort of "liberation".

    It's crap like this why I can never agree with the left.

    Because heterosexual whites have ruled the country since day 1 and made life miserable for everyone else. Why should anyone feel sorry for them when the tables are turned? No one should.

    How about we make fun of conservatives and no one else?

    I think that's pretty consistent and logical.
