No, it doesn't work like that.
No one in the history of the world has ever sided with a rapist over a woman who got cheated on. Ever.
The facts don't really matter. Trump raped his wife VS Hillary fighting for her marriage = what the debate will be framed as, anyone w a brain can see it
Will you stop throwing the word "rape" around. I hate Trump but you presenting him raping his wife as fact is so off-putting, insensitive, and misleading.
Ivana has confirmed she was not raped "in a literal or legal sense" and that she just "felt violated". It's this kind of thing that the left gets dragged for, totally taking things out of context/choosing to ignore the facts.
I also wish Hillary will stop pulling the "Trump wants women who get abortions to be punished" card. It was a hypothetical question on if abortion was ILLEGAL. If something is illegal, chances are a punishment will follow.
I'm not trying to defend Trump, but these sort of remarks make us look bad. The right side does it too and it's so annoying.
"Racism' against white people has no effect, its literally just name-calling.
Even if all the black people in the world woke up and shouted "We hate whites", literally nothing would happen. We have no power to do anything about anything.
Now, if white people were to decide "we hate blacks", we get slavery, we get segregation, we'd lose our jobs, college placements, kicked out of restaurants, denied services etc
Okay? I fail to see how that proves racism against whites doesn't exist. There doesn't need to be slavery, segregation, job lost, college placements, instances where you're kicked out/denied services for it to be racism.
Me and one other boy were the only white kids in my kindergarten class. It was a predominantly black school, we lived in "the ghetto" when I was in Pre-K through 1st grade. We were picked on soo badly for the color of our skin and it made me really self-conscious. I didn't even want to wear short sleeve shirts or shorts because they said I looked like a "ghost chicken". Looking back on it now, it was stupid and it's almost kinda funny. But when I was really young that stuff really hurt, and it was definitely racism.
Point is, look up the definition of racism. Stop using your made-up tumblr definition with all these requirements tacked on. The race doesn't need to previously have been slaves for it to count.

Effect? Is that what you think defines racism? So if a chinese person tells a white person that he doesn't like them because they're white, it isn't racism because that dislike won't result in any economic/juridical changes? What about the feeling of being wrongfully persecuted/hated simply because of the color of your skin? you sound dumb

She used the word "rape" not me. Then she walked it back (even after she confirmed that he pulled out her hair and ripped off her clothes)
Trump's counsel tried to clarify that she felt "raped emotionally, not physically"
All the same thing

You're the bigger dummy bc nowhere did i say racism against whites doesn't exist.
I said it has no effect on anything. You can keep your anecdotes.

Lol no it won't. You can't accuse someone of being a rapist when the victim said she wasn't. And you can fight for your marriage without calling rape victims liars and bimbos.
There's no such thing as institutional or systemic 'racism' against white people, at least not in the vast majority of our planet. Yes, all races are eligible to face the technical and literal meaning of 'racism', but that doesn't mean it would have influence on all races.

The amount of influence is irrelevant to whether or not something is categorically racist.

The BLM/SJW always say this kind of stuff. When we find actual racism coming from them it's suddenly "not racist" due to some new standard. "Oh, it has to be systematic! Institutional!" And then we point to the cities of Baltimore and Detroit (which are run by blacks, policed by blacks and predominantly black populations) and it's still not racist. The terms institutional/systematic are just these holy ghost buzz words that nobody can prove even exists. It's like arguing with the religious right about god
Movements are defined by the people who start them and the people who continue them. BLM was inspired by Assata Shakur - a murderer who fled to Cuba after killing police officers and multiple other terrorist related offenses AND is currently on the FBI's Most Wanted Terrorists list and was apart of the Black Liberation Party (a domestic terrorist group). http://townhall.com/tipsheet/katiepa...lling-n2046941
From the violent riots, the physical brutality and anti-free speech/anti-white rhetoric it's no surprise that the Bernie Sanders campaign is going down in flames. America does not want that and does not support that. You leftists need to wake up.
Actions of people in the 70s had nothing to with this movement. Injustices that black people faced caused Assata Shakur and BLM. If you really don't want another Shakur, then your best bet would be to eliminate the root causes of a system that produces people acting out violently.
From the 1600s to at least the late 1960s white elites have taken every opportunities to treat black people either as property or as low level 2nd class citizens as they could. Black people face extreme injustices. They get paid lower. Higher unemployment rates. Higher incarceration rates. Lower graduation rates. Lower life expectancy. Practically across the board black people face harder times. If you want to stop BLM or more Assata Shakurs, then we need to tackle these systemic problems.

Yes, it does.
Prejudice = not liking someone based on a person's traits.
Racism = prejudice PLUS power to do something about it.
Prejudice is individual, racism only happens on the group level. So in reality one person does not create "racism", but they can contribute to it and represent racism, thus they are a racist. Racism is large-scale systematic issues. Let's look at the etymology of the word.
1.
a suffix appearing in loanwords from Greek, where it was used to form action nouns from verbs (baptism); on this model, used as a productive suffix in the formation of nouns denoting action or practice, state or condition, principles, doctrines, a usage or characteristic, devotion or adherence, etc. (criticism; barbarism; Darwinism; despotism; plagiarism; realism; witticism; intellectualism).
Don't get us wrong. Prejudice is still wrong and we should discourage wherever we see it. However, we should not use prejudice and racism interchangeable, but as a white person I don't face all these systemic issues that black people face.
Black people don't have "systematic issues" they and they only face. It's called life. We all have issues and struggles. If people took responsibility for the bad decisions they make in life (having kids in your teens, dropping out of high school, being in a gang, robbing stores, etc.) that would be a step. But we aren't even there - even suggesting that people should behave better is "racist" apparently.
