ALL RACES can and have been racist towards one another. No, that is the definition of prejudice. Racism is systemic and involves power imbalance.

In America, where socially and economically white people have the power, it IS impossible to be racist towards us! However, it is possible to have personal prejudices against us.

Racism involves one group having the power to carry out systematic discrimination through the institutional policies and practices of the society and by shaping the cultural beliefs and values that support those racist policies and practices. Kinda funny how racism has been defined. Higher ticket price is racial prejudice and discrimination Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarstruckIllusion 53,563 Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 This hurts my psyche. I’m absolutely not here for this ****. It’s like a reversal 1960s type ****... to the allies who don’t hate black people/culture too. If it’s not equality then **** it. I see this off-brand smiting once a taste of power is gained. The plan was to burn the throne of racial supremacy.. not steal it. How is his even legal?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You say that when a POC says to me white people suck then it's prejudice, but if I'd say that black people suck then it's racism tell me about equality Your flawed definition of racism also brings another issue. What if you are mixed race? Can you be racist if you are 50% white and 50% black? What if only 1 of your grandparents is black? Are your actions classified as racism or as prejudice? By your theory racism between minorities wouldn't exist either which is bullshit If you classify person's actions based on his skin color, then u are the racist here @Craven Moorecox Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Individually, they can be racist towards whites and others races. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

By your theory racism between minorities wouldn't exist either which is bullshit There is a difference between a written definition and working definition of racism. And yes, when a white person speaks down on a black person because of their race that has heavier implications due to historical events and contexts. If a black person said something against a white person regarding their race, it does not hold as much weight with their words because of what has happened in the past of our country and white people always being in power. At the end of the day you have your opinion on racism and I have mine, but just know that I work in sociology and have a deeper understanding than others and going around and around calling different definitions flawed won't get you anywhere.
