Heh.. No, I have justified neither.. I gave you a straight up question? "What can a black person's racism do to a white person? ... Absolutely nothing at all.."
Now slow down, skeeter.
Let's ask the same question. What can my racism do to the black people?
Hmm?
I'm just one guy.
"But there are others who-"
I'm just one guy. Why do people get concerned when I say something they think is 'racist?'
Because I can do something to them. I can shout at them. I can yell at them. I can refuse to do business with them. I can report them unfairly. I can judge them for their skin and not for their character.
No?
So then how are the black people free from being racists?
They can shout at me. They can attack me. They can refuse to do business with me. They can report me unfairly. They can judge me by the color of my skin rather than my character.
So I really don't see how one's race has anything to do with whether or not that person is committing racism.
Or is Uncle Tom only racist because he 'hates the black man?'
And their racism, isn't in actuality racism since there's feelings of OPPRESSION involved, not SUPERIORITY"
So... what if the white shop owners in Ferguson were to shoot the blacks breaking in and looting their stores?
That can't be racism since there are feelings of oppression, right? The thugs standing outside, chanting death threats and hurling fire bombs are oppressive, right?
And told you WHY our "Racism" isn't racism, it's bigotry.
No, no, son.
Racism is bigotry but bigotry is not always racism. Haven't you ever seen one of those Venn Diagrams? I hear that city folk only learn about such things in college - and you went to one of those, right?
Not once have I supported either. Even through admitting I'm bigoted...
You can say what you want, but you're being stupid is what you're being. Granted - you were educated to say stupid things - so it's kind of hard to hold you entirely responsible. But there are consequences for stupidity regardless of blame.
You may need to enter a Sociology course to better understand this, or become a Law Major. Then you may act like this isn't such a black and white issue. And actually UNDERSTAND the differences between Racism and Bigotry.
To be a racist is to be a bigot regarding ethnic origins. That is all it is.
I know they don't teach English in college these days - but there's an actual meaning to words, believe it or not. Even more amazing is that there's actually a system - a pattern - a STRUCTURE to language.
I know! Do wonders never cease?
Let's break down the word: "Racism."
Race - A population of peoples sharing a common ethnic. This can also be a political distinction (such as the distinction between Serbian, Bosnian, and Croatian - which was essentially the same ethnicity split across minor literary differences and religious affiliations).
ism - Concept of the noun thereof.
Therefore - "Racism" is the concept of politico-ethnic distinctions.
When one uses the term "Racism" it means their logic, reasoning, motivations, or actions are rooted in the concept of politico-ethnic distinctions amongst people. Nothing more. Nothing less.
So, when one uses race (politico-ethnic distinctions) to justify their actions - they are a "racist" - or one who uses race.
The word doesn't say -how- you use it. It doesn't say "if you are a racial minority and use the fact that you are a racial minority to justify your actions, you are not a racist."
It's interesting that you attempt to evoke 'legal' concepts.
You see - your boys are out there destroying the process of law. Which I can deal with - our system is so far gone that it should probably just have the reset button pushed on it, anyway.
But it means that legal terminology no longer has any meaning. What now has meaning is the court of mass perception and common sense.
What is coming - whether you realize it or not - is a time where those who can convince enough people to side with them are the law, at least regionally.
Your boys will have their fun - they will loot, plunder, and pillage. They will grow in number and be backed by the media.
Then they are going to meet the response. Not police officers in uniform or soldiers in armor - but the armed citizens who will not be intimidated by thugs. It will ultimately be a process that breaks this country's back and fragments us several ways... but your boys will be annihilated in the process.
It's unfortunate that it will come to that - but I highly doubt reason will be seen by the black youths being stirred up by the Communist Revolutionaries, ISIS/Islamic Nation and the Black Panthers. They will be used like the pawns they have been cultured to be as a torpedo into the federal union under this Constitution.
Like I said. Stupidity has a consequence regardless of where the blame for it lay.

Please. Make a liar out of me.
Not by rejecting my observations but by rejecting the absolution of my forecast (and I'm not the only one who has made it and similar ones).
So please, exit stage left.
Arguments are futile in the face of reality.
