“To me, a racist is someone who treats a different race than theirs a different way than they would treat theirs,” he explained. “I feel like if you’re a Black person and you treat all Black people one way and all white people one way, you’re racist. I’m not a racist, so I give a white person a chance to talk and actually we get into it before I can say I don’t like you or not. And I feel the same way about a Black person. You ain’t gon’ be my buddy just ’cause you’re Black. Just straight up.”

Whats wrong with what he said?
Nothing, racism and prejudice are used interchangeably so when they hear black people can't be racist they try to correct the statement. This has the opposite effect too as some dumbasses think that black people can't be racist means we can't be prejudiced because we lack institutional power.

thats not racism that is prejudice. Racism is a collective systematically codifying their prejudice to harm another race. Black people do not have the power to be racist in this country.

I don’t think lil baby even got a high school diploma. Y’all get what he’s trying to say. If you expect some middle school educated rapper to have profound thoughts on racism your going to be truly disappointed over and over again.
This is why entertainers just can't and shouldn't be at the forefront of the discussion on black issues and politics.

How are we denying opportunities to people?

how are we segregating them in their own communities?

how are we denying them access to capital?

how are we promoting negative stereotypes against them?

this idea that black people are racist on means of power is just read ridiculous cause we have none.

:mjtf:


So Latinos, Arabs, and Asians can't be racist either?

Anybody can be a racist.Hes not saying all black people are racist like the misleading thread title, hes saying a black person CAN be racist too just like any other race

what do ya call it when some black posters on this site go all out on any kind of latinos, whether its dominicans,ricans,mexicans etc. Saying shyt "scum of the earth", "go to another site this aint for you"(:dead: i got neg receipts) "they all need to die"(i already proved this one in a previous thread) "fukking spics"(word dont mean shyt to hispanics, im talking about the intent), i can go on and on with all the insane shyt you see people post on this site. You going to sit here with a straight face and say thats not racism? Is it systematic racism? of course not but the comments directed at latinos defitnitly are

So ill always stand by "ANYONE can be a racist". It doesnt matter what group you in, you can be a racist. Nothing wrong with that statement

Because black people are cautious of dealing with white people as a RESPONSE to how we have been treated, and I’m not just talking about history. I’m talking about our day to day lives. A White person can be nice to you, and still be racist. This is something a lot of Black people haven’t learned yet.

rac·ism

noun
  1. prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized

So are we bushing the webster dictionary now?

Where did y'all get this from? There's a difference between racism and systemic racism.
Anyone can be racist.
