Double Standards

I've taken some time to give an analysis on some double standards I've noticed over the years.
The double standards I'm referring to are race or religion-based or whatever you wanna call it. For every forum I've been on there's always one poster with the "let's wipe out Islam" or "get rid of blacks" mentality, and they make themselves known as racists and bigots.
Let's take Arabs and Muslims for example. And yes there's quite a few people who don't like either group, and they're proud of it and they know who they are. Very quick to ask for any incidences of Muslims condemning terrorism and al-Qaeda whenever said terrorist group does something. In my experiences the logic of the bigots (yes I'm talking about you) is that if there aren't Muslims taking up arms or holding speeches or whatever, then they are supporters of terrorism by default. Never mind that most peaceful Arabs and Muslims are just interested in living their own lives without having to get into politics and I can't blame them. Just from what I've seen in my long years visiting forums.
So I see that same logic is not applied to any other particular group, lets say whites who take part in white supremacist activities and burning crosses in lawns or beating the (*)(*)(*)(*) out of anyone who isn't white and Christian. No one goes around claiming that all white people are racists and love stirring up hate crimes because someone didn't openly condemn this.
Or with blacks, or at least not as often. Every time there's a homicide, murder or anything of the sort and a black person is the suspect it's very rare that I hear someone foam at the mouth about wanting to see groups of black people openly condemning this and if they aren't then they automatically love the gang-filled lifestyle.
Anyway, that's just my analysis. You're all allowed to draw your own conclusions.
