The trainer asked the definition of racism. I said when one group oppresses another group simply due to the color of their skin. I was wrong. I was schooled that it is ‘Whites, who have the power, discriminating against Blacks, who don’t have the power’. Blacks, by the new definition, cannot be racist because they don’t have the power. It was certainly eye-opening for me. Late at night on a dark street, a guy with a knife has more power over your fate than the whole federal government.
The "knockout game", the various gruesome murders of whites by blacks -- do let anybody tell you that blacks can't be racist because they "have no power".
The reality is that, in the workplace and on the streets, it's middle-class whites who have no real power, and thus by that criterion cannot be racist.
Agree. But those in power do not agree. White privilege is assigned to ALL whites. We are in a no win situation with this Admin.
