See this is where I disagree with a lot of people, saying something racist doesn't necessarily make you a racist. It just means you made a racist statement.
Let's talk about it: Can black people be racist?

Yuffie butter!
saying that black people can be racist doesn't make you a c00n (necessarily). Like I said in the OP. let's be civil about this. Personally I'm surprised at the amount of people saying yes considering this is TLR.I don't think we can solely use a white dictionary to decide what racism is, though.
I ain't about to take no cac complaining about them facing racism seriously
A black person can be hateful (if you consider that racist, then sure) but still this.

This is the main reason that I stick to saying that black people can't be racist. When and where as it ever happened?
Here OP, do the knowledge
I already know all these things and I've seen that video. I asked the question for the sake of conversation. but thanks for posting the vid.
Look at it this way: If blacks are in a position of social and economic power, abso-fukking-lutely. It's the nature of the beast.
However, that isn't the case, as most other races have dominated economics, and as such, have oppressed others (usually blacks.)
I'm not saying its right, but let the economy flip its shyt and brothas get back on top, might be hell to pay
Truthfully, I think *most* black leaders would be more benevolent, though. I'm not with the #inherently stuff...but sometimes you wonder
Argue with a white man long enough and some
will come out of his mouth. Seen arguments with strangers on the street that go from 0-racist REAL fukking quick

If we're being honest here, black people have taken institutional racism and tried to make it the definition for normal racism so that we can play the, "I'm not racist because I don't have power" card. Institutional racism is a very real thing. But so is racism on an individual level. And you're fooling yourself if you sincerely believe that there aren't viciously racist black people out there. No CAC defense I just call things like I see them.

That's what I consider bigotry.
Racism is the belief of a group being inferior to your racial group, and treating them as such. And usually, some kind of power is needed to do this.
If a black person has a business and says "No whites allowed", then yea that's racist. But its not really something you'll see, if ever. You will still to this day however see white southern businesses openly encourage no people of color in their domain of business.

If we live in a white supremacist society then how can a white person experience racism from a black person? If the foundation of the system is based on the success of white people at the expense of black
people then how is that dynamic even possible? So what, you call a white person a "cracker." Isn't it good to be a "cracker" in a white supremacist society? Even the history behind that word is rooted in
white dominance over black lives.

Yup. I mentioned it before on the coli, but inside of a 30 second spat, my friend (American born, Haitian parents) was told "Go back to Africa, N*****".lmao it happens to me all the time. the shyt comes out of nowhere and then people wonder why you have to leave all of a sudden.
Now this shyt was literally a misunderstanding, and my boy was amping up with dude, but this white fool took it ALL the way there. I stood there with the
face cause NOTHING my boy said warranted saying that shyt. It was like dude had a quota for racism and my man was at the right place at the right time:mjpalm:
Folks pretend "racism is dead" but man, you get two people from opposite races arguing long enough:letyasoulglow:especially if they are strangers:letyasoulglow:
Face facts: When it comes to saying nikka, white folks sometimes have that hairtrigger
And im in Chicago, and this city so segregated that you can walk a neighborhood overand catch bad vibes.

Right on. But assuming you're correct about a mistake in definition, are black people wrong for that? Yes, there might be a "viciously racist" black person but I can probably guarantee that person's feelings are a result of being a victim of racism. So is it really racism? To be honest, I want to know of one racist black person or something a black person can say that is racist. I'm not trying to sound dense or even argue but I'm having a hard time believing there are true black racists.If we're being honest here, black people have taken institutional racism and tried to make it the definition for normal racism so that we can play the, "I'm not racist because I don't have power" card.

What if a short white woman is in the cereal aisle next to me at the grocery store and cant reach the Cinnamon Toast Crunch as its on the top shelf. She says to me, "excuse me sir. I cant reach that box. Can you hand that to me please?" I look down at her, look up and then back at her and reply, "No you short cac b!tch! Climb up there and get it your goddam self." Then I move the box from that shelf to the opposite top shelf and mean mug her before walking away. And my motivations for not helping her was cuz she's white. Would you say my actions or lack thereof were racist or prejudiced? I mean its really macro vs micro at that point rather than splitting hairs on the meanings and applications of prejudice vs racist.
What i mean is on a micro level compared to white people, Black people can also have racist behavior and outlooks. Its needlessly obtuse IMO to argue otherwise and split hairs. Its like a white dude getting picked on in a largely Black school because he's white and we chalk it off as simply bullying with the excuse being because the Black experience has been markedly worse in predominantly white schools. The motivations are the same as are the basic actions. The only difference is the proportions between occurrences.
