I'm noticing folks have to strip it down to the most basic and raw form to be able to draw these comparisons for the sake of "blacks can be this too". Almost like the obvious advantage one side over the other needs to be toned down for the sake of debate. The fact that even has to be done tells you everything you need to know.
This thread is about having the ability to be racist not who's racism has been worse throughout history. I dont know what part of this your side of the argument can't understand

:snoop: yall are trying so hard to sound deep...

the definition of racism
the definition of racist

^^^ two completely different definitions for two completely different words.

keep in mind, this is factual. it exists whether you like it or not. these ARE the definitions of these words.

arguing that this is propaganda is an opinion.
it's a hypothesis.
it's a guess.
it's what you "think"

the people who run dictionary.com are racists? have an agenda? prove it.

until you can do that, then all you're doing is trying to create emotional doubt in peoples minds

that does NOT make your argument correct or valid. you're just expressing an opinion.

Funny thing is, the words they're using to redefine racism are still english and created by white culture. So if their critique is that all english definitions are inherently invalid based on the fact they came from a white culture, they've basically entered a house of mirrors.

But as soon as your an adult in this era you have the freedom in america to do as you please, (not so much in many others) if you wanna start looking up definitions and black historical indigenous literature (non-english)...no one is stopping you. Learn your clicks an clocks, and hand gestures, then go around and perpetuate an compose your history with those who want to, thats the thing about america in this era, you have certain rights. If you feel you dont, you can always go to the Philippines where they would butcher your ass right in front of the police, the police might even jump in on the act, go to third world countries and see if anyone gives a shyt where a definition of a word comes from, majority of all white languages have a basis, latin, they all borrow from them, never heard of a African root language that is used as much of black culture out of Africa still used today.

Again, if you think every thing is taylor made to the white mans power in america, maybe another countrie would be your best bet. This is america, the greatest and most powerful country on the planet, the united states of different cultures, no country or civilization has a white angel history, every one of man kind has waged war against the other. Either get with it, or get else where. United states isnt black and white, its yellow, brown, grey, black, white and a shyt load of other colors.

Its best to learn world history instead of just black or just white history.
Oh yeah, @BmoreGorilla

This is a criminal level cac. Definitely add him to the list. You notice when they cut off reps, cacs come out of the woodworks.

Never said the exact definition is wrong or not factual. My point is that you can't apply exact definition can't always be applied to life instances. Its like how you got rookie cops who try to go "by the book" and usually look green as hell and fukk up on they first day.

By the book word for word, yea a black person COULD be racist. But life experience and knowing of our history lets me know that a black person ain't gonna be racist out here before getting locked up first. A dude who decided to smack up a hispanic for being hispanic ain't a racist who got his point across, he a dumb mufukka in jail for being hateful.

people of all races use these definitions of the terms throughout the world.

look up racism in Australia against aborigine's

they still use the same terms in the same context's
