I told her (I think it was a "her") that regardless of power or control or whatever, if you hate someone, they are going to hate you back.
And then where are you?
Does it matter that you don't have power when, by your "non-racism," you have made people hate you?
That ended the "discussion."
The whole power thing is just warmed over Marxist drivel. It has been repackaged to infest souls that may not even believe in socialism and to make them angry, bitter, spiteful and easily manipulatable by those who are Marxists.
To paraphrase the scene from The Wall: You can’t discuss racism unless you agree to use our Marxist Comprehension of race! How can you discuss racism without our Marxist Comprehension?!?
