Of course. Anyone can be racist on a personal level
We are not capable of systemic racism, but that’s about it.

No. Black people can't SYSTEMATICALLY OPPRESS anyone at the moment.
Yes. Black people can be prejudiced, bigoted, racist or whatever word you wanna call it.
Summary: yes black people can be racist and systematically oppress other groups, just not right now at this current time in history.

You nikkas always looking for cop outs and a lack of accountability 
The whole “black people cant be racist, because racism isn’t prejudice + power” is a cop out and full of shyt.
Now, our personal brand of racism doesn’t come from the same place as other groups, it’s actually rooted in hatred for the systems in place that we can’t benefit from, which in turn develops into hatred for the people who do benefit from them, which means we don’t actually hate other races, just the circumstance and unfair situations.
But it’s still racism.

This topic is stupid. No one agrees on what racism is and has their own idea and or definition
A better question is can black people systematically oppress whites/non blacks in this current climate?
On top of that, I can't even be sure the person I'm talking to on here is even black. Smh

Yep
For example I hate Eskimos with a passion and I will hold them back any chance I get.

CAN ASIANS BE RACISTS? BECAUSE THERE ARE LESS OF THEM IN POWER THAN US. THEY ARE A SMALLER PORTION OF THE POPULATION ALSO. I HEAR EVERY RACE CAN BE RACIST BUT US. THAT REASONING DOESN'T HOLD UP THOUGH.
Prejudice yes, Racist no.

I think you'll find the term Eskimo is actully offensive, you racist.
They prefer the term Whale eating fur heads.
To the bolded - CO-SIGN.
As shown above, the definition of racism in the context of institutions is detailed as well as the definition of racism in the context of individual peer to peer interaction is detailed.
In the context of a person believing one race is superior to another or one race is inferior to another is a form of racism - thus, it is possible for any human being to have racist ideas that affect their actions towards another.
In regards to you further statement about not being sure of who you're talking to is black...who are you talking about?
I think people need to just start using the term institutionalized racism and/or white supremacy instead of racism because it leads to confusion.
I always felt like this point right here while valid at some level is a deflection/smoke screen argument because it then shifts the talk away from the true issue of white supremacy to some "it takes two to tango" point where the issues that really affect people globally especially blacks.
I'm not talking about anyone specific just a general statement in regards to these discussions that take place online. At least in person you can visually see the person but on here or anywhere you can have these discussions go on and on and half the time you're talking to some white dude from Sweden who has never interacted with black people in his life.

No because we were once slaves
No because we are at the bottom of the minority tottempole economically
No because everyone already hates us
No because racism is a product of social economics and not ones pure disdain over another based on race or creed

Agreed, it is definitely an ignorant piece of ammunition when someone is trying to derail a conversation to get away for the things that are making them feel uncomfortable.
Same with the usual "what about black on black crime!"
Both of the above statements are troll cliches.
But, even with that being the case, we can't just assume everyone with actual questions about these topics of race and society are intending to be nefarious.
Either you're about genuine dialogue and discussion, knowing that not everyone knows the same information and are willing to avoid negative assumption or you're going to just hope everyone thinks like you and ostracize the genuinely ignorant (meaning not in the know) and entrench their ignorance.
For instance, do you think I am trying to derail the convo or trying to actually have dialogue?
