Good question. Blacks used to say they had no power so they couldn’t be racist. Well, now they have a POTUS, AG, Caucus,Oprah, JZ, Jarrett, Rice, Moochelle.
Al Sharpton, Farrakhan, Rev. Wright, I guess they could be bigot, but they definately seem to hate Jews, Gays, Crackers
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.
I'm starting to understand why government's starting to feel thuggy ...
That was an illogical statement for them to make.
