These people who try to divert the blame by yelling, “It’s a double standard!” are falling into a well-known logical fallacy known as tu quoque.

None of this matters. You can’t excuse Coulter’s defense of a white supremacist group by screaming about Rev. Wright, or pointless comparisons to “Black Pride” t-shirts.

This tactic is the last refuge of people who have no other way to defend something.
