Racism is a difficult discussion to have, especially when people do not have an understanding of what racism is, how it works and who it is perpetuated by. Here are nine truths that we need to accept about racism if we want to have honest conversations.
Can Black People Be Racist?
“There is an element of whites who are nothing but cold, animalistic racists. That element is the one that controls or has strong influence in the power structure. It uses the press skillfully to feed statistics to the public to make it appear that the rate of crime in the Black community, or community of nonwhite people, is at such a high level. It gives the impression or the image that everyone in that community is criminal.”
– Malcolm X, speech at the London School of Economics on Feb. 11, 1965
Black people cannot be racist. We could possibly be prejudice, but the power dynamics of the system of white supremacy proves that Black people do not have the ability to oppress other races. Malcolm teaches that racism uses a system to oppress and hold power over a person based on their race....

I thought there was onyl 1! Whites people are devils! Unless it’s their women, then it’s OK.
But there are more!
I think it should jsut be 2. 1: White people are devils. 2: Black people cannot be racist.
Lets just build from there shall we class...
Soon after that they will need to replace 'Hispanic' with 'Asian' or 'Chinese' but then it will be too late. They won't have any Chinese liberals to look after them.
What are you doing here?
Here?
It CANNOT have anything to do with a lack of industriousness, energy, and intelligence. No, it can't.
There is a button that tells how many posts you have?
In any rational universe, fools like Melanie McCoy would be continuously oppressed, by people of all races and ethnicity, for the good of the children and for the future of humanity.
I stopped reading after the third grammatical error. Is that racist?
Possibly?????
“It is dangerous to say that whites do better at trig than blacks, er, I mean majestic African-americans.”
I’ll keep that in mind.

The definition of racism never had exceptions for color, or the ability to oppress another.
The left is trying to redefine any terms it can to distort reality to whatever framework they desire.
Tell that to all the countless white people injured or murdered at the hands of black people since the 1960s.
How about my rules for an honest discussion about race...
1) The world is full of stupid people. Try not to be one of them...IOW, ghetto is as ghetto does. Do not insult my intelligence by asserting it's "culture."
2) You are not, and have never been, a slave.
3) I have not, and have never been, a slave owner.
4) I truly don't care about your feelings. I am impervious to being guilted.
5) I truly do not care about the color of your skin. If you act civilized and expect others to do the same we will be friends. If you choose to act the fool expect to be treated as such.
6) I have no interest in subsidizing self inflicted wounds or destructive behavior.
7) Riots and looting are crimes; they are not free speech or means of expressing whatever incoherent rage you may be feeling. Step outside of civilized behavior, do not expect the protections civilization provides...if I give the orders, we declare martial law during such antics. Loot or burn, get shot.
8) If you wish to be taken seriously in regards to race, pull up your f#$%ing pants, get a job, and try not to act the fool. Otherwise, don't waste my time.
We live in the enlightened Progressive age, so blacks can simply “self identify” as whites and everyone will treat them as if they’re white.
Black people do not have the ability to oppress other races.
Huh? Come back to me when you return to reality. (to the author of the screed)
I also knew a black girl in HS who was a math whiz—she was great at trig, though she hated it. She was also quite a looker. (She was better than me, and I'm 15% Asian—yes that particular stereotype is true to a large extent)
Her only major flaw: She was an Obama fan-girl. SMH.
Liberals have done this whole destruction of language thing. I had a black dean of students at a city college tell me the same thing. “We can be bigoted, but we can’t be racist.”, he said. “We don’t have the political power to be racist.” What a load. He’s educated and doesn’t know what the words he is using mean.
Why doesn’t someone suggest KFC change its name to Uncle Ben’s Kentucky Fried Chicken. After all, it wasn’t fair that Colonel Sanders enjoyed white privilege as he forced us to buy his fried chicken while Uncle Ben was humbly serving his yucky Cream of Wheat to massa’s and his family.
Racism has become totally ridiculous. If Uncle Ben had gotten out of the Cream of Wheat business and started frying chicken like Colonel Sanders maybe today we would be accusing him of using his black priviledge to force us to buy his chicken. And massa’s family would have probably preferred Uncle Ben’s chicken anyway.
Next I’ll be looking for Colonel Sander’s Cream of Wheat in the near future as we try to overturn racism in America.
And Aunt Jemima’s pancakes, don’t even go there. Boy it’s a racist jungle out there...and always will be as long as there is free speech.
You want a dialogue? Come up with some new material.
Or, their lineage will not survive.
Sometimes right&wrong must yield to reality.
Now would be a good time.
