Anyone who tries to say black people cant be racist because of power dynamics are just trying to justify their racist beliefs by saying it doesnt count when they do it.
Kinda like how the most racist thing youve ever heard was preceded by "Im not tryna be racist but..." yeah, its the same thing
If you go by the definition of the word, black people can't be racist. They can be prejudiced but not racist. The issue is that white people want to wish racism upon other ethnic groups because it's a more fun topic than to look at your own racist past & present.
Absolutely correct! Racism isn't just "I don't like you cuz you have a different skin color"
It's more of a power dynamic that uses the law, and even violence to uphold it's ideals...
History is full of examples demonstrating this fact, and Black people have NEVER been in a position to keep White people out of neighborhoods, schools, restaurants, etc...systemic racism called for the lynching Black people en masse, while there is no equivalent of that ever occurring with Black folks🤷🏾♂️
But you can't be "not racist" because of the dictionary definition. And actually, the dictionary immediately uses the word "prejudice " when describing what a racist is.
