You are right I can't compare it because a black person being insulted gets all of them at the same time, and the only way to get back to a white person is insulting them personally.

But well the thread is about how some black people are racist too, and this happens a lot lately which was the point of my post.

Ok but you said you cant go on the internet and say racist things about black people without getting hunted down but thats not true because most of the internet is racist. And how are black people more racist lately? Have you seen stormfront have you seen reddit even the average youtube comment is racist

The last time I checked the definition of racism, it mentions nothing about oppression or systematic discrimination. It just describes a belief and just because it can be systematic it doesn't mean it is soley systematic, thus whites can experience racism as well.

I mean, how do explain the physical attacks and murders of whites in South Africa.

And since when were black people unable to believe they are superior to whites? I've seen an awful lot of that on Twitter lately

And pardon me for using literal definitions rather than made up ones.

You can be racist to white people on a personal level which would be individual racism. But white people aren't affected by institutional racism as they are in superior position/ position of power.

Maybe google institutional racism instead of going by the basic dictionary explanation

Institutional racism or systemic racism describes forms of racism which are structured into political and social institutions. It occurs when organisations, institutions or governments discriminate, either deliberately or indirectly, against certain groups of people to limit their rights.

And since white people are in the superior position this doesn't affect them

[Scandal & Media]

Because white people aren't oppressed for being white? Same with how straight people don't face 'heterophobia' and men don't face 'misandry'.

[classiccity98]

For example how many black members we have here that only stan exclusively for black artists? Almost the 90% of them, if this was the other way around, it would be seen as racist.

And when has this ever came up most of the people who stan on here stan for a diverse set of artist where is the 90% figure coming from?

[Javan]

Does it really matter what definition we use? It's not like whites are suffering. And that's all that matters.

[Mezter]

You can, but it's not like most white people are deprived or suffer from racism in the same way

An uber religious black lady came to my work place one day and started ranting about how the white race was scum and how God was going to wipe them from the earth and what not. How can you not call this racism?

Are you talking about blackout completely diffrent that is a social media campaign today celebrating black beauty and fighting against negative images and stereotypes perpetuated in the media. There was no black supremacy involved in that look at your average magazine cover and tell me the race of the model.

Since about.....the 1400's when Europe colonized the world and took over everything?

If you insult a black person for skin color everyone will haunt you
If you insult a white person for skin color no one cares.

The thing about this is when someone white is trying to get along with a black or group of black persons they are racist against that person too at times.

It has happened to me believe me.

Lets say there is a school with 90 black and 10 white students in a white majority country - USA.
Sure, on a country scale those 10 white kids belong to majority. But in their own enviroment whrere they're living they are minority and they're daily bullied in the school BECAUSE OF THEIR SKIN COLOR.

You're saying it's not racism?

Like I've said before, you can be racist towards white people. The only difference is that they'll never suffer from institiutonalised and systematic oppression that minorities can. I legit hate PoC who think they can use the "lmaoooooo we can't be racist ", so they can make ignorant and problematic statements and not be called out as the ignorant bitch that they are. Especially when they're always complaining about how they wish they could ease racial tensions

Fair enough, but that doesn't make them racist. Sorry.

Well im black and i hung around a group of white kids and they had no problem saying my skin was too dark or saying racist **** about black people.

Even in those schools, towns, countries, etc....everything is still generally controlled, based on, and ruled by white people, white standards, etc. There is no comparison whatsoever. Sorry.

So yes, while that one white student may feel out of place in that ONE school. They are still at a complete advantage over any of the other students in every social, political and economical way. Not to mention the fact that the people who own those schools, towns, etc are white people.

From their ass that's where. You can't use something like listening to music artists who happen to be the same race to what can be deemed racist or not.

Let me just leave this here:

SAB: Yes, and racism is something that everyone thinks they’re an authority on.

RD: That drives me crazy. I’ll run into someone I haven’t seen in 20 years in the grocery store, and they’ll say, “Hi! What’ve you been doing?”

And I say, “I got my Ph.D.”

And they say, “Oh wow, what in?”

“Race relations and white racial identity.”

And they’ll go “Oh, well you know. People just need to—”

As if they’re going to give me the one-sentence answer to arguably the most challenging social dynamic of our time. Like, hey, why did I knock myself out for 20 years studying, researching, and challenging this within myself and others? I should have just come to you! And the answer is so simple! I’ve never heard that one before!

Imagine if I was an astronomer. Everybody has a basic understanding of the sky, but they would not debate an astronomer on astronomy. The arrogance of white people faced with questions of race is unbelievable.
