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

[End Cruelty]

Mostly in america blacks are racist because they hold on to the long years of slavery, most blacks in europe, asia, australia dont have things to be mad about and take a more cool sly approach to socializing, which isnt bad or wrong, me being a brown culture understands as hawaiians were wiped out by the whites, and nearly 80% of our culture lost. But I'd say racism is good and bad, it reminds one of hardship an a effort to go foward with minimum tolerance, but slavery is not black history, its american history, that shyt happened in america not europe, and they were sold by black rulers not caught in nets like savages.

The same things can be said about the whites who were slaves in africa:

The Barbary slave trade refers to the slave markets that flourished on the Barbary Coast of North Africa, or modern-dayMorocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and western Libya, between the 15th and 19th centuries. These markets prospered while the states were nominally under Ottoman suzerainty, but in reality they were mostly autonomous. The North African slave markets traded in European slaves. The European slaves were acquired by Barbary pirates in slave raids on ships and by raids on coastal towns from Italy to Spain, Portugal, France, England, the Netherlands, and as far afield as Irelandand Iceland. Men, women, and children were captured, to such a devastating extent that vast numbers of sea coasttowns were abandoned[citation needed].

Ohio State University history Professor Robert Davis describes the White Slave Trade as minimized by most modern historians in his book Christian Slaves, Muslim Masters: White Slavery in the Mediterranean, the Barbary Coast and Italy, 1500–1800 (Palgrave Macmillan). Davis estimates that 1 million to 1.25 million white Christian Europeans were enslaved in North Africa, from the beginning of the 16th century to the middle of the 18th, by slave traders from Tunis, Algiers, and Tripoli alone (these numbers do not include the European people which were enslaved by Morocco and by other raiders and traders of the Mediterranean Sea coast),[1] and roughly 700 Americans were held captive in this region as slaves between 1785 and 1815.[2]

So to each his own, whites can be racist, blacks can be racist, asians, anybody and so fourth.

Personally I never had a issue with blacks, have tons of black friends here in hawaii and I idealize probably more blacks than I do whites or any other color in terms of celebirtys, comedians, and people like malcom x and Dr king, we grow up with hundreds of different cultures around us, it seems blacks here call each other nikkas less than any other color, dont know about the mainland where all of them seem to be more gang orientated which again isnt bad, america now is a massive country of immigrants, so its better to stay in your own click or be subjected to others culture ideal'z . But this guy was atleast honest about it:


Again, I aint got no problem, but I get what hes talking about, it gets old when one uses the race card to victimize them selves, everybody has a little bias in them, but thats nature, black ants dont roll with red ants, bullet ants dont roll with fire ants ect. It would be cool if racism wasnt around, but I guess you have to work your way around it and be cool, not some dumbass who goes around hanging on to negativity and pursue negativity as a weapon, that kinda shyt gets you killed, this shyt aint new, man kind has been killing each other for 10's of thousands of years, you just gotta go through life being respectful and appreciate what you got,, if you wanna be something, theres no way around hard work.

Are you trolling, breh?

Are you trolling, breh?

Yup

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

It definitely would be racism but I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around this because there are so many concrete examples of other groups being racist. However, in my 28 years, I've only met one black person that I could even suspect of being a supremacist. Almost all of these situations about how black people can be racists are hypothetical and sort of unlikely. Like they shouldn't even draw numbers for powerball. Just keep throwing money on a pile until a black person does something racist. That's how often it happens. lol.

We can be racist. We just can't institutionalize our racism.

Don't matter what the reason, if you believe you are better than someone based purely on race, you are a racist

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

That might be a racist white man, but that's not necessarily a racist act. That's a act of bigotry.

A act of racism would be for the white man to get the police to purposely stereotype and profile that black man which eventually leads to them beating him. Compared to the white dude just whooping his ass, an unfair advantage has been brought to the table.

 

[TBdaGhost]

off topic but why in the hell would this happen?

Lol I just picked two motherfukkers at random

No, both acts are racist. This bigotry/racism thing is the dumbest shyt ever. If a white dude called you a ****** then 10 times out of 10 you would consider him a racist, not a bigot. Racism comes in a million different forms, not just the institutionalized kind. The literal textbook definition of racism is thinking that you are superior to someone else solely because of your race.

You white people always expose yourselves on here
Everytime

Shut the fukk up cac.

Because I don't like ignorance. Yes, these things happen all the time - the two examples are parallel to each other. You're acting like a white kid being bullied in an all black school is something completely unfathomable, which is ridiculous. I remember white kids getting clowned, smacked up, hit with text books over the head in the hallway, having their lunch trays snatched, etc. on a regular basis, and my school was basically 50/50 as far as black and white people went.

Yeah...it's possible. ok? You're acting like the reason people do racist stuff is because of an actual problem they had with someone of that race. That is not how racism starts in most cases, man. Most people don't even realize they are being racist. I'm entitled to my opinion on if black folks can be racist just like anyone else. If the court can say that all of these unarmed black people being shot ISN'T racism, then yes, I think it's ok to believe that black people are incapable of being racist at this point in time.

Yup

That's hilarious.

Hey, you're entitled to your opinion just like I am to mine. A lot of police shootings have a racist motivation behind them - no one is arguing that I just don't think that black people can't be racist.

[Suleiman Bey]

Of course. The whole notion that you need to wield some type of power to be racist is idiotic,

We'll just have to disagree then. Name calling and fist blows is only temporary, it doesn't hold much weight and in the end, that's all a black person can do in this country. We can't influence who gets hired, who gets access to aid, and other stuff where power is necessary. institutional racist might not be the only, but its for damn sure the most important to focus on. A white boy getting called a Cac and getting jumped is not the same as a black dude walking the street, getting profiled and shot. You might consider it all different levels of racism, but one is not important while the other is the main thing that keeps black people in their position.

 

[Concerning VIolence]

This happens all the time? Really? And I'm not saying that black people can't be racist. I'm not saying anyone being racist is right to do it. I'm asking and I find it hard to believe. You just gave me a hypothetical situation that is highly unlikely.

The only thing these fools have is hypotheticals and extreme what-ifs. That's all they bring up.

They can never point to a real example.


If you ask cacs, the most they could actually ever point to as "blacks being racist" is Louis Farrakhan or the Black Hebrew Israelites.



Black people in this country seem more preoccupied with self-hate than being "racist".
