Blacks that are severely rude to non-black individuals, can be and are in positions of power, and yes, they exert that power in a negative way.

This is in no way different from the supposed discrimination that non-blacks who exert power in a negative way against blacks, when confrontations come up. It may be as simple as mere rudeness, or it may be an all-out assault. The basic intent behind the confrontation remains the same. It has to do with content of character, not the color of skin.

And some people have pretty rotten character, regardless of skin color.

And this will continue till whites open their mouths and say something. It’s our own fault. My lesbian sister in law called me a homophobe because I like Ted Cruz in 2016.

I tuned around and called her a homophobe because she wants Hillary Clinton and Clinton hates women.

The look on her face was priceless.

Ask one how many variations and names they’ve given to the different colors of their race.

Can Blacks Be Racist?

Racism is a belief and a belief not acted on is benign.

The belief that the different races, cultures, and tradition are not equal only become a problem when inferiority or superiority is assigned and acted upon.

Asking if blacks can be bigoted would be more honest.

I have observed that the self-appointed leaders of the black community are no longer seeking equality but now seek privilege.

Any right or privilege enjoyed by whites but denied to blacks should be discussed and corrected.

Do you know of any?

There is NO reverse racism, RACISM IS RACISM, REGARDLESS OF THE RACE OF THE RACIST. Talking about reverse racism is as meaningless as saying a ball is rolling backward.

An old black man once told he was raised to believe “the man ain’t gonna let you be nothing or do nothing”. I think at one time that was true but now blacks are keeping them selves down.

When I worked in a restaurant and spit in the white people's food, I wasn't a racist.
I just hated those cracker ass mutha f**kers and was expressing myself.

If you had checked in Merriam Webster Dictionary.com you would have found that allude is an actual word, as is elude.

allude

elude

Notice especially the examples of ALLUDE and ELUDE and say you're Mē miseret (Latin for) sorry for your mistake

After out current rPresident retires I will be over the race thing. I couldn't care less and will ignore it and forget about it. It is "their" problem not mine. Just stay the F away from me.

Ask blacks that question. Oh, wait! Somebody already did...

More Americans View Blacks As Racist Than Whites, Hispanics
Among black Americans, 31% think most blacks are racist, while 24% consider most whites racist and 15% view most Hispanics that way.

I have come to the inevitable conclusion that there are far worse things in the world than racism.

I don’t understand the term reverse racism. Is that like racism directed out and it makes a u-turn and comes back at you?

While it is true that both allude and elude are real words, within the context, elude is the correct word to use.

The author's sentence is "Sadly, the gift of freedom given to all Americans by God will continue to allude blacks like utopia does liberals." In this context, the word "elude" (to avoid) makes more sense than the word "allude" (to make indirect reference).

The author was tripped up with the fact that spellchecker does not check for incorrect words, but only incorrect spelling, and the piece was not proofread carefully enough.

Right.

I’ve been subjected to anti-white racism. They’re racists and they know it, but excuse it in the name of old slavery.

Let’s apply Affirmative Action to sports. See what happens.

"Blacks used to say they had no power "

I can't find the word "power" (or anything even close to it) in the definition of racism.

The (provable) racists in liberal land have built it as a "back door" to limit debate on that subject.

It's used like "old news", "no controlling legal authority", etc. so they can bail on any given subject that makes them uncomfortable.
