Let's talk about it: Can black people be racist?

[End Cruelty]

I prefer if nobody got flamed up in here. A white person said she felt like some black people are racist. I told her that despite some black people hating whites, no black person is racist. We cant oppress anyone. We can be bigoted or prejudiced or just plain rude but not racist (yet). Thats just my take but I figured I'd ask yall.

Can black people be racist?

The lady said a white girl went to a mostly black school and got beat up. She said it was racism. I said it builds character.

In all seriousness, its a sins of the father situation when young white people get shyt on...and that's at the very least. I could go on but that's my question.

I ain't about to take no cac complaining about them facing racism seriously

Definition of racist according to the dictionary

"a person who believes that a particular race is superior to another."

So yes but what we can't do is institutionally oppress other ethnic groups. We don't have that power. Whites do globally. Arabs do in the Middle East. Asians do in Asia

 

[Ronnie Lott]

Nope

Of course. Racism is animosity towards another race or thinking another is beneath. Simple as that.

People confuse institutional racism with racism. If it takes oppression to be racist, then asian, mexicans, indians etc. can't be racist either. And I know for damn sure black people won't agree with that.

Jw...do you think most black people think they are better than other races? Do you think most white people think they are better?

 

[Anerdyblackguy]

Nope.

We can be be bigoted and prejudice as you stated earlier but not racist.

[Knuckles Red]

NO!

Racism = Power + Prejudice.

Black people can be prejudice, but in order to be racist you need a whole system of structured support that backs you...which whites have. The court system, the media, law enforcement. These are all

things that whites have backing them!

 

[SheWantTheD]

Systematic racism within the US and countries that aren't predominately black No, but yes black people can be racist. They can have a level of hatred for other races.

I think there are racists and non racists in every race. I wouldn't say most blacks think they're superior to others though.

I would say most whites do. They have a subconscious superiority complex. Most aren't on some Aryan brotherhood shyt but in the back of their mind they think they're superior. They've dominated the world so a superiority complex just comes with the territory I guess

 

[SirReginald]

I'm prejudice, but not racist.

 

[SirReginald]

I'm also prejudice against unfunny comics who come on thecoli to post their shyt.

Racism = Power + Prejudice.

That's an outdated definition.
