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

[Insun Park]

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*****".

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 hairtriggerAnd im in Chicago, and this city so segregated that you can walk a neighborhood over

and catch bad vibes.

Damn. White people in the Midwest and so damn bold when it comes to Blacks. They'll tell stand up and tell you to your face

cannot opress somebody with comments or slander, whites cant be excluded if non-whites are the so called minority.
if you kill someone simply for being white then yea its a hate crime.

 

[Citi Trends]

saying black people can be racist is like saying someone's 8 year old is abusing them
can their child hit them? yes, but using the word "abuse" for it, which automatically connects it to an adult beating a child, is retarded

Don't get me wrong, it isn't a guarantee that if you go around ,say, picking fights with random white people that they will resort to bigotry.

HOWEVER!there are some neighborhoods where you can get that old-school "don't give a fukk" racism. Had a guy like that in my job talking about Mexicans a month ago.

I KNOW if I was mexican, he would have went in on blacksIN A NICE ESTABLISHMENT, FAM!

I got my "wakeup call" per se when I was driving my sister from school 10 years ago and pulled over onto a side street so I could run to a store and get some sodas. I wasn't in that spot 3 minutes, and by the time I step back out, we have a squad car behind my vanThen an undercover pulled up. Then two more squad cars. Then there is a white lady on her porch staring the whole time. I had to

wonder what the fukk she told them that I ended up having to explain to 5 officers and a detective (with 4 sodas in my hands) that there was no parking on the street and I just wanted to get drinks for me and my sister.

That wasn't the biggest example of bigotry, but it was the biggest example of how one white person crying wolf can make a brotha's day get real scary.

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.

at how extreme that is. However, no it's not racist. One, she should be asking the staff for help. Two, white people got enough free labor during slavery. If she was mexican or something, then maybe. But it's impossible to be racist against a white or chinese looking person.

Where I'm at CACs are mostly passive aggressive. Hispanics are real flagrant with the cism though and even rock rebel flags

Yea man, I will say, its open out here depending on where you are and when you are out. Like being in an upscale neighborhood while black when St. Patties come around

I think some people pretend they are drunk just so they can get their shyt out, if you know what I meanbut open racism happens. Its pretty much the norm that if you wander into the wrong neighborhood, all eyes are on you. There is this Punk Rock bar I enjoyed the fukk out of, but me and my squad were clearly not born for the crowd there, nahmean? I never would have stepped foot in that joint alone.

Depends on how you term racism. As with all 'ism' terms people will and can define in many many different ways, depending on their perspective.

A white dude attacking a black dude solely for the fact that he's black = racist

A black dude attacking a white dude solely for the fact that he's white = somehow not racist

Stop repeating dumbass rhetoric just for the sake of doing it. Actually use your brain and think - you cannot have it both ways. Yes, black people can absolutely be racist.














































Go ahead, my rep is ready.

Admittedly I was having a little fun. Its Friday breh!

Still though, does not my actions mean I crossed over? I mean I can be prejudiced and show an obvious or even subtle bias. Or I can take it a step further when I have an advantage, whether that be physical or numerical, or otherwise, and then take advantage of someone of a different shade. To me its as simple as micro vs macro. Whites have built systems through colonialism and exploitation that thrives off of a historical caste system that is advantageous to white people. Thats macro. Within that same system, there will be sub-levels and pockets of folks where most of the advantages that most white people enjoy will not be present. Thats even so when isolated to situations involving two people, one white, and one Black. When those situations occur, and Black people with an advantage over white people purposely victimize the latter, is that not racism? Is that not an act that goes beyond prejudice?

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.

No. Because after you did that she could then run to the police and claim that you sexually assaulted her, and she would have an entire law enforcement and court

system behind her. So even as a big strong black man, your status in this white supremacist society could still potentially be at risk by this small petite white woman.

Right on. I see how that could very possibly be racist. When has it ever happened?
