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

[Booker T Garvey]

I'll attempt, when you attempt to provide examples of blacks burning down white communities while the police protect the perpetuators, I'll attempt when you provide examples of blacks creating

this was my very first REPLY to this thread:

what you all are arguing is that black people can't or rarely get opportunities to practice racism
there is an argument there but there has definitely been instances where black people in positions of power
have discriminated against other races, and have lost discrimination lawsuits as well.

nikka, i was making YOUR argument before you even got here - you're going all into details and breaking it down because you're emotional right now, but I already said this.

I already said that black people can't practice systematic racism and oppression.

but my uncle is STILL a racist.

if you're going to blatantly filter and ignore what posts you see, what questions you answer - then you're not here to engage in discussion, you're here to let off steam, push an agenda in otherwords...ya trolling nikka.

The only requirement to being racist is to be human.

Edit: Y'all gotta stop acting like black and white are the only races on the planet.

I'm PROUDLY racist to white people. Why should I care enough to not be racist towards them? I genuinely hate most white people. Why should it matter to me about being racist towards them?

 

[Prince Mongo]

exactly...that's exactly what they're saying...shyt is crazy

I'm racist to white people and don't remotely care. Why should I care as a black man? Serious question

 

[GetInTheTruck]

Anybody can be racist.

 

[Beer Drinker]

I'm prejudiced AF. I'm equal opportunity though. I hate everybody.

I feel like that makes it better.

Didn't say it should that's your choice breh, my issue is more with people saying they don't have enough resources to class their feelings as racism

relax fam. you shouldn't care.

the question the OP was asking is can black people be racists not if it's okay to be racist and black.

You quoted me bringing up your uncle which had nothing to do with my post. Instead of addressing my post in which you admit I was right about, you brought up your uncle to create some argument to fill your agenda but I'm the one emotional You already admitted I was right and that's where the debate ends. Debating facts not about isolated incidents that doesn't affect a majority.

 

[Booker T Garvey]

You quoted me bringing up your uncle which had not.

nikka I used an example to illustrate a point

so now because I used an example I've disqualified myself from this discussion

so in otherwords, people in general, don't use examples to illustrate points.

we're not moving goal posts any more, we're altering reality now

now everything that we've previously known about the human debate/discussion process must be thrown out of the window

we must adhere to these new rules in order to cater to grown ass men's cognitive dissonances, and emotions about a topic they're not comfortable discussing on or offline

somebody create a post about these new "alternate realities on racial discussions" rules for the coli for those of us that missed that meeting please

How is what I said an alternate reality when what I posted are historical accounts that actually happened? I'll end this debate now, which is more impactful on a human rights global scale, systematic racism/institutional racism or simple name calling? Comparing the 2 is ridiculous in itself and they're not one in the same. But yeah "alternate realities"

 

[King Kreole]

So now it's 'cac rhetoric' to know and correctly utilize the definition of words? fukk it I'm out of here I got work tomorrow...

 

[Booker T Garvey]

How is what I said an alte

yes. please. run along now.

in a debate/discussion, people are going to challenge your opinions and you ain't having that shyt.

instead of debating you opted to deflect and even went so far to get on some:

"no using examples!! don't ask me to answer that!! unfair!!"

but your momma thinks you're smart though and that's all that matters little buddy.

 

[Ill-Mind]

Prejudiced? Yes. Racist? No. Racism is power based. Me calling a white person names doesn't compare to a group who can prevent me from living in a certain part of town, taking out a business loan, getting a particular job or even a job at all, due to my skin color.

Not only that, but you also have the mainstream media which is utilized to paint a less than favorable image of blacks compared to whites. So no, there's no way a black person can be racist in today's society

How does some podunk poor redneck fukk living in the middle of Fairhope, AL benefit from Racism? Not all white people benefit from racism. In fact these are the idiots too stupid to realize their racism fukks them up when they vote overwhelmingly for Republican, and then wonder why their ebt and welfare benefits seem to shrink year after year.

This is 100% wrong, they benefit from the system of white supremacy just like everyone else that's white.

 

[PhonZhi]

"Black people can't be racist" is a stupid ass statement that not only isn't true, but is also low key racist against black people. It implies that black people are so infantile and powerless that "black racism" is equivalent to a child acting out.

That's what I always get out of this subject when y'all say black people can't be racist: how weak, docile and powerless black people are.
