Dad did you draw dicks on my friends face?

Did I check Kyle's privilege?
Yes I checked your friends privilege.

Dad stop attacking my friend just because you're trying to fit in.

Compared to the problems faced by minorites and other oppressed individuals dicks on your face is a very first world problem.

Difference being that I'm comparing acts of racism to other acts of racism, not any and every problem to acts of racism. Don't let cartoons do your thinking for you.

So fucking true. I've seen this excuse so many times on here it's pathetic. Of course if the same people that use it as an excuse saw a minority say the same thing they wouldn't give them any leeway whatsoever

Yep. They can look at the weight of institutionalized racism, scoff at it, dismiss it, etc. but anything the other way, they lose their minds.

did he literally just say "boo hoo" to a bunch of non-whites attacking a white person with violence simply for being born into the wrong neighborhood and skin?

jesus fucking christ

Actually, I said "boo fucking hoo." It's a negligible instance of racism, a drop in the bucket compared to what non-whites have endured at the hands of whites. I'm not entirely unsympathetic; I'm sure that is an awful thing to experience but bringing that up and expecting it to mean anything in the overall discussion of racism is like bringing a pocket knife to a nuclear standoff. It just doesn't mean anything.

Yup.

As a white person that grew up in the wrong neighborhood, it sickens me how I'm expected by people like him to think "gee, this is what minorities feel every day! I'm just getting my turn." It is way too common. Most of the time, it is a privledged white person talking out of their ass.

And contrary to his assumption, I don't have any race-based hatred that I use my experiences to justify.

I don't think you're getting your turn or that it's fair play or that you deserved it. I don't think you're a racist, I don't know or care about you, but I do know that a lot of people use that line of thinking to explain why they are racist. If you're not one of them, good for you. You're better than most and likely an exception.

No, my point is that I just don't care that it happened to you in the context of general discussion about racism. Your experience and any one like it is trivial.

That isn't to say that I like it or that I condone it. I generally abhor violence and don't think anyone should be subject to that kind of thing. I also do not wish to prolong it because those kinds of environments are usually a result of systemic racism that is affecting more minorities in more significant ways than the people having problems because they don't fit in.

how about martin luther king. black panthers. muhammad ali. OBAMA


Are you saying they have power or are racist?

If racist, then three of the four are objectively wrong.

If power then...really only Obama had power. The others had influence. And Obama's not even fully Black.

The whole black people can't be racists is the biggest lie the extremists on the left side have come up with.

Anyone who claims such a thing is not worth even responding to because of their pure stupidity.

The definition I stated was literally marked for being offensive. smh

I'm sure if you appeal they'll somehow distort that "speaking about an entire race of people" thing, even though that's totally not what the rule is suppressed to entail.
So a rule to suppress posters making racists comments, isn't meant to suppress racist comments, when the racist comment is something another poster agrees with?

Congrats, you're a racist. I'd say more but the mods will delete this for flaming. You're a terrible person if you really believe this.

White on white racism, surely that will be the end of this world lol. Take your victim narrative elsewhere, thanks.

They literally can't though since racism comes from a place of systemic power and blacks have never been in that position in America.

So, do we need a different word for "negative feelings/animosity/discrimination towards another race" that applies to everyone?

This is the only thing I will post on this matter. That and if you actually believe it's not possible for a person who is non-white to be racist you are one of the dumbest people out there, even acknowledging you is a waste of time.

Merriam
1. a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race

2.
a: a doctrine or political program based on the assumption of racism and designed to execute its principles
b: a political or social system founded on racism

3. racial prejudice or discrimination

Cambridge:
racist
noun [ C ]
a person who believes that some races are better than others, or who acts unfairly to someone because of his or her race

Oxford:
racist
NOUN
A person who shows or feels discrimination or prejudice against people of other races, or who believes that a particular race is superior to another.

ADJECTIVE
Showing or feeling discrimination or prejudice against people of other races, or believing that a particular race is superior to another.

The funny thing is, I asked one of my friends who believes that black people can't be racist, about this.

He said those definitions were created by white people, so they don't count. Wtf?

That is a logical reason. Refer to post #31.

I promised myself I wouldn't post and people like you weren't even worth a response, but I am genuinely curious on how you will answer this one question.

If "racist" is a word made by white people, so it's definition is completely wrong from what it actually means.

Then are you suggesting we (all people combined, not just "white people") actually make a NEW word the describes prejudice based on peoples skin color or race?

Because anyone with even a TINY semblance of intelligence couldn't possibly think that it's impossible for one race or skin color to be prejudice against another race or skin color.

We all know he won't answer, because the whole idea of 'privilege plus power' is an imaginary concept they concocted to excuse their racism.

It's a simple question:

Is it okay for non-white people to say that they categorically hate white people and criticize them as a race instead of on an individual basis?

If not, what term should we use to describe that if not racism?

bs. no power? how about martin luther king. black panthers. muhammad ali. OBAMA


There's no greater power than taking someone's life. The Fresno shooter took three of them earlier this year.

When I hear this "ethnic group can't be racist", it's almost always by someone spewing or supporting violent racist garbage. For example, noted black racist Azealia Banks had twitter trolls come to her defense when she tweeted about her fantasies to kill white men in their sleep, asserting that she couldn't be "racist" because of "power".

and defending people like her is dangerous because it spreads ideas to people to make them think they could get away with it cause it's justified somehow . most would never go that far but there is always that one person with mental problems who might go ver the line, emboldened by comments on facebook supporting their beliefs
