Apparently black people can't be racist...Who knew?

[slimreaper]

"“But, but, on your blog, aren’t you racist against white people though? Because you say some really bad things about us.” Short answer: no. I can’t be racist because I’m not…well…white."

"There is no such thing as reverse racism. Comedian and friend of the blog, Aamer Rahman, handled that in his viral comedy routine some time ago. In summary, because minority groups don’t have inter-generational privilege we can wield against whites (thereby limiting their possible wealth, educational, employment, and/or environmental outcomes), we really have no way of being racist against them. Racism requires power. Without it negative racial feelings might be discriminatory but they certainly aren’t racist. Any racial animus held by minority groups toward whites cannot be set apart on its own as an initial offense because we have already experienced centuries of targeted racial oppression from whites. So, the point of reverse racism is moot."

I love how people conveniently change the definitions of words to suit their cause

Racism-the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races.

Racist-a person who believes that a particular race is superior to another


Neither of these words fit her quite frankly racist definition of racism. Such bullshit

I don't think anyone on NB agrees with that (hopefully no one) so there's not much room for discussion.

Its what MLK thought

“…there’s an alternate and widely-used definition of racism that goes like this: We’re all prejudiced, because we grow up in a racist culture and we inherit those prejudices. But racism is a system of institutional, systemic oppression, and in order to be racist, you need both the prejudice + the power to affect people. By that definition, which a lot of progressives share, PoC (people of color) can’t be racist, because they don’t have any reinforcement from that institutionalized power. We may hold individual racist ideas and thoughts, but we only have the power to do damage with our actions in the rare, brief contexts where our other privileges temporarily override color privilege.”


maybe he was a racist

 

[Joon]

You talk about racism a lot. :|

 

[TNC Xlll]

so there are people who think like this

 

[Unbiased]

Plenty of room for discussion. Black lives matter is an organization that thinks it's not inherently racist by design. When you separate yourself from being a human and categorize yourself as a race, you're part of the issue.

 

[Cornson]

topics like this pop up like one or twice a year, last time i saw it i ended up in a discussion with a black person who had the opinion that black people can't be racists.

there is in fact racist people like this here.

Eh, he's done more good with his messages than bad (or at least tried to) plus he lived in a time where a black being racist to a white was more understandable than it is now.

I disagree in a way. Black lives matter is to give attention to the racism targeted towards blacks. Maybe if the name was "black lives matter too" it would be a little less racist but it makes sense why it's called black lives matter. I don't like the movement because I find it hypocritical though. The name All lives matter doesn't explain the movement well enough.

Omg...
Who cares about such threads???
Can't you leave black people alone?
Reported you,hope you get banned.

It's still kinda supported today honestly

I have no problem with MLK wanting what was best for his people given the time in which he lived. But to keep pushing these things today is ridiculous

 

[Mad Titan Thanos]

Actually, in racial differences, the differences are negligible. Racism is bigotry, of course there's a problem.

I know that.
I am just saying

National identity >>>> Racism

 

[Joon]

No one asked you to click on this thread. What is with you people trying to silence anyone with a different opinion?

That fact is that is an old article, nevertheless, the topic is still being debatable. However, people are trying to move on from the past and grow, but every where you look, someone is bring it back up. Like they are trying to rekindle old flames.

Racism will always be with us. Whether or not you choose to not think about it is on you, but it's always gonna be a topic of discussion as long as there are different people.

And that is why racism still exist. That mind set. SMH

 

[Venomous Cobra]

Racism doesn't require power, expressing your thoughts is one of the easiest things ever, and yes everyone can be racist. Everyone has the power to be racist, it's just that not every racist person has enough conviction to loudly state it.

 

[DrProof]

Bruh why are you always posting some racial shit. F*ck on with that.

 

[slimreaper]

I'm a realist. You keep dreaming though dude

Bruh why are you always posting some racial shit. F*ck on with that.

[BSK]

Everyone is racist even if they think they are not. Whether people Chose to believe this or not some races are superior to others in some way.
