Tell him he’s an idiot. Everyone knows what a racist is and yes - if POC talk shite and hate on white people that’s racist. It’s a back door excuse for POC to openly talk shite about white people without repercussions.

Tell him that’s the equivalent of some people historically thinking killing Jews or blacks isn’t murder because “they’re not human”.

Many people believe racism has to require the use of power


And many people are stupid. This is a recent change to the definition of racism that was made in social science departments of universities so POC could be openly racist against white people without legal recourse. Also this makes it easier to make laws that openly discriminate against race in how they’re implemented.

Everyone knows what racism is - the concept that groups of people are inferior or carry inherent traits/behaviors due solely to their race or color of skin.

Spinning it otherwise is ignorant.

That statement alone is racist and people who really believe that are seriously brainwashed.

So when black thugs attack innocent Asian people, it’s because it’s the white man’s fault for buying them from the Jewish traders who bought them from the Islamic slavers who got them from the African tribesmen that sold other tribes?

Seems only one side is saying only white people can be racist.


Are you saying all blacks think that blacks can't be racist? I've heard a black person refer to another black person as racist a few times. I've heard a black person say that black people can't be racist as well, but I don't understand why this is a them vs us thing because clearly not all black folks have the same views.

This is supremacy and it has taken over the traditional definition of racism. Hateful prejudice based on race or cultural differences is racism.

You don’t need some inherent since of power over another person to be racist.

None of them have true power over white people. Selective power, sure,but not true power. The reason, all were/are dependent on powerful whites to get and remain where they are. Those pulling the strings have true power and they aren't black. You may call that a racist statement. I call it a fact.

By your logic since Jews don’t consider themselves white, white people are I. The same boat as blacks.

Dammit I broke my own rule

This ridiculous definition was created by people who see racism everywhere but refuse to see it in themselves. They wish to tar and feather others for certain behaviors but wish to remain pristine when they engage in the same.

Such attempts to craft terms with which to attack others, but you yourself are always shielded from, is the endeavor of cowards and charlatans.

Sounds like a “friend” that needs to wake up.

Systemic racism is real. It’s just not the kind of racism the media focused on.

Just accept that if you are white, you are a racist. If half the country believes it, you should interact with society knowing where you stand and plan accordingly. It’s bullshite but at the same time it’s liberating not trying to prove a negative.

Everyone is treated equally under the law, everyone gets dealt a different hand at birth. So what systemic racism system are you referring to?
