“The only time I hear people talk about nonviolence is when black people move to defend themselves against white peo- ple. Black people cut themselves every night in the ghetto. Don’t anybody talk about nonviolence. Lyndon Baines Johnson is busy bombing . . . Vietnam. Don’t nobody talk about nonviolence. White people beat up black people every day. Don’t nobody talk about nonviolence. But as soon as black people start to move, the double standard comes into being. You can’t defend yourself. That’s what you’re saying. . . .” —Stokely Carmichael Speech, October 1966, Berkeley, California
According to Stokely Carmichael, what is the double standard that is happening in the United States?

Hello, we're sorry for the inconvenience but us helpers only give help as volunteers, we don't get anything in exchange. That is why there are not a lot of us around... Please be patient and be as clear as you can with your questions :)
@King.Void.
I do not understand. Is there a question and/or answer choices??? I would be glad to help though....
The question is an excerpt from a speech or something and my first reply is the question.
It is not multiple choice but I do need to answer in one or two sentences
But as soon as black people start to move, the double standard comes into being.
