I can’t count the number of times I’ve been in a discussion with some hateful racist black person and when their racism is pointed out they claim “I can’t be racist, it’s impossible for me to be racist [because I’m black]”

There is apparently some new-found definition of the word ‘racism’ they have been told that requires you to have some ‘power’ over someone in order to be racists.

So they think they can do or say any hateful thing against whitey crackers because “it’t impossible for me to be racist”

I try to tell them that all they have to do to be a racist is hate another race... but to no avail.

Where did this new ‘power required’ definition come from?

That's the definition that US Army uses for all of its training ...

... and my opposition to this basic axiom has led to me being written up more than once (and, more than once, expelled from training).
