rac·ist
ˈrāsəst/
noun
  1. 1.
    a person who shows or feels discrimination or prejudice against people of other races, or who believes that a particular race is superior to another.
    "the comments have led to her being called a racist"
    synonyms: racial bigot, racialist, xenophobe, chauvinist, supremacist More
adjective
  1. 1.
    showing or feeling discrimination or prejudice against people of other races, or believing that a particular race is superior to another.
    "we are investigating complaints about racist abuse at the club":snoop: of course black people can be racist. I guess I should take the opinion of the coli over the actual definition?
By saying black people cant be racist you giving more power to those who "you" feel suppress you.

Y'all don't feel black people are superior to other races? In some instances I certainly do.

I think the definition are based on a few factors.

Black Americans are bigoted and xenophobic — not racist.

I’m not sure about others - I can’t speak for other Black People who ancestors came here by choice.

That said the legacy and remnants of white supremacy divide and conquer colonialism still exists in Africa as you can see from tribal conflict.
Lol they keep adding to the defintion to try to make it apply. I don't look at sovereign African nations as powerless. They don't really fit into that definition well and it doesn't make sense to bend over backwards to try to make them fit into that definition.

The answer is yes. Why you yall take an aspect of racism and make it the full definition?

Racism is the belief that your race is inherently superior and another particular race or all races that isn't yours is inferior. While you may not be able to oppress others, you don't need economic and legal supremacy to harbor that kind of belief.

It's pretty obvious that the answer is yes. Anyone who says otherwise is using a definition made like 2 years ago in SJW circles. "I CAN"T BE RACIST" is more ignorant than "...but I have black friends".

I understand what they're gettin at and I agree to a point but the type of gymnastics done to the definition of the word "Racist" in this thread is startin to look a lot like what the LGBT been tryin to do to the word "Gender" :jbhmm:

A lot of semantics people play with the word Racist.

Wouldn't Idi Amin and Mugabe be considered black racist for being able to kick out whites? AAs don't have the political or institutional power to be prejudice. If we're going with the argument racism = power + prejudice . And if we go with the definition of it being a belief than of course anyone can be racist.


How did those white people get to Africa in the first place?

By stealing land, right?

The white woman’s comment about Africans and Black Americans is about Xenophobia not racism.

Also, it will be interesting if those responding in this thread who believe Black People can be racist — to say it you are Black american or African-American(African/West Indian immigrants/1st/2nd gen)

Does it matter? The South African girl said blacks can't be racist.

And both the Nigerian girls said the same shyt.
