You are entitled to your opinion, BUT you are not allowed to alter the definition of words to fit your agenda…

Its mind-boggling that white people mistakenly believe that being OPPOSED to racism equates with BEING a racist… you can dislike a (racist) person, and even be prejudiced towards them, but it is NOT POSSIBLE for any black person to practice systemic racism, because they do not control the system n order to discriminate against white peoples… if a black-owned bank (an extreme rarity,haha) systemically denied credit and loans to white people, THAT is racism, or a black-owned business denied service or followed whites around the store surveilling them for shoplifting, then THAT is systemic racism- but simply being OPPOSED To the practice of racism or complaining about racism is NOT “reverse racism”… there is no such thing… racism is a practice of the controlling power or majority; opposing it or claiming to be a victim of it does not constitute “racism”- you confuse it with “bigotry”, “prejudice” or “righteous indignation”….

I believe the term racist is misapplied and inappropriately used by folks on both ends of the spectrum egregiously.

It's a strong very strong word and should not be used lightly but is all the time IMHO, here and everywhere else.

I don't think RC is a racist but I do believe he plays the race card a lot and uses his position to do so to pander to the folks he feels the need to impress and get pats on the back from.

I think many of us here do the same, we get pats on the back for calling RC a racist, and that is playing the race card too. That does not make us racist, but it makes us no better in doing it....IMHO.

So, basically you’re saying you’re allowed to alter words to fit your agenda with what followed after the quoted sentence in your post.

Your reply was total bullshite and not grounded in reality.

You must be joking? They absolutely control the system. Even before the Pandemic the government (the system) had laws favoring, and even mandating, the hiring of black people at the expense of white and Asian people. And during the pandemic the entire financial eco-system formed woke committees to bully large corporations into woke ideology as espoused by Ryan Clark.

Your argument about blacks being incapably of systemic racism was true IN AMERICA and before , say, the Obama Administration. Tody it is an absurdity.
