People of color cannot be racists towards white people. Racism is based on disadvantaged in society BECAUSE OF YOUR RACE. White people do not have any disadvantage whatsoever based of their skin tone. You thinking reverse racism is a thing? People of color doing this does no harm to white people in society. Poc are literally killed because of stereotypical characteristics and behavior assigned to them. Yet you wanna get mad at that a poc doing this and it's outrageous even though white people sit comfortable while poc are served injustice, and are wrongly accused, killed for just their skin color alone.

Plus, nowhere in my statement did I "...blame the entire white race for slavery." I simply pointed out a well known fact.

Well I don't really have time to write an essay for you but reverse racism is real and present. I was personally offended by racist comments, so it's not a matter of "believing".
And who are you to decide what is racist and offensive towards white people? And no you tried to shame the whole white race.

The double standards and no body is going to Shut up about it.
Although most Whites just don't cry racism as Blacks do, thats all. They actually think this is funny.

It would be wrong for a white person to do this to an Asian person yes. White people hold all the power over any other race in the world, which is exactly why it is not okay for a white person to do this. There are no -real- negative connotations with being white like there are with being black/hispanic/asian/middle eastern/etc. See the following posts:

He's right though. There is no "racism" against white people because whites hold all the power in society. Society is systemically set up in favor of whites. Minorities can be prejudiced against you as a white person, but not racist. You being offended by someone calling you a cracker is not the same thing as a white person calling a black person a n***** or a japanese person a j** or what have you.
At the end of the day, whites lose nothing when they're called a racial slur. Racial slurs against minorities are used to remind them that they have less privileges than whites, and that they are and will always be considered less than in society.
That said, I really do hate these kind of debates on here, because everyone seems to like to go by their own definition of racism, so these debates never really get us anywhere.

This is racist? LOL y'all wanna be oppressed so bad.
There is no comparison between whiteface and blackface. One has absolutely no history behind it, the other does. And the history behind said other ain't pretty. It was used to dehumanize blacks for the AMUSEMENT of white people and has had an extremely damaging effect on the way black people are viewed. There is no "double standard" because there is no damn comparison. Stop.

You just sound silly right now, nowhere in my post did I try to shame "the whole white race". A race in which I am apart of, I might add. Reverse racism is NOT real, you felt offended because you don't like the fact that black people are not scrutinised for things like this and white people are. Black skin was MOCKED and deemed lessor, it was worn by racist whites to shame and make jibe at black women, men and children... That has never been the case for Caucasians and you know it. It IS different, this is not racist.

I can't at people using things happened over 200 years ago as if they had any effects in today's lives.
I deem racist anything that makes fun of a particular race, and I don't really care of the history behind it, because it doesn't affect today's society.
Stop being hypocritical.

So you think that once slavery was abolished LEGALLY, only 150 years ago, that everything just turned equal and all whites and blacks just came together and danced to Kumbaya? You have no clue. Just because it was written out of law does not mean that it still wasn't practiced. The fact that you said that you don't really care about the history behind it really shows that you're obviously not that smart, because history DEFINES today's society. To say that it doesn't affect it is extremely stupid.

What?
Show me something about a white person not getting promoted because s\he is not white.
Show me something about a white person being innocently killed by police because of their skin.
Show me something of a white person having bananas thrown at them.
show me something of a white person being killed just for being white.
show me something of a white person told you're not pretty enough because of thier race.
show me something of a white person being told their culture is inferior.
This is something a non-white person has to face every day. A white person will never have to face constant prejudice, discrimination, and racism. A white person won't have to worry about traveling, because their skin color might be a danger to them.
Having Snoop Dogg do this video is nothing compared to the brutality, and plain hate a person of color will experience in the last 5 and next 20 years.
Its the same crap women have to deal with when a man says what you said.

Exactly. This person just threw out their statement with two words.
So because gays couln't marry, and now they can homophobia is gone and people are now equal.
Because women at one time couldn't vote, and now they can sexism is gone?
Give me a break.

No, I'm well informed about segregation and its consequences, but it's not a good excuse to create privileges over another race. If your ancestors were slaves centuries ago you don't have any repercussion in your life today. This doesn't therefore authorise you to make fun of the race that kept your ancestors as slaves. Don't get me wrong, I know very well what black people have been through, but this double standard doesn't make sense, and it is only going to keep racism alive.

Some of the responses have shocked me, it just proves that there is not enough inform on these issues in the current educational system. Some of these people that have posted sound blinded.

For as long as black people are being singled out by US authorities, and are not given equal opportunities, racism will ALWAYS be alive.

I know this. All I'm saying is that making fun of people using stereotypes is wrong in every single way. Double standards don't bring you anywhere progressive, no matter how hard you fight.

Making fun of anyone's race using stereotypes is racist. Stop with the double standards in this thread.
