Racism boils down to the belief that your race is superior in any way to another. There are black people who do believe that they are superior to white people, either

-morally(blacks did not try to plunder the resources of other races and rape their women and kill their children)

-Physically(It is very hard for a 100% or mostly black person to develop skin cancer, and apparently black people have more bone density)

or intellectually(Currently there are a lot of Nigerians and other West Africans that are doing well in colleges, universities, and small businesses around the world.)

In that sense, you can say that blacks can be racist. But the racism of black people is not as dangerous as the racism of white people. We don't run most of the companies, we don't make up most of the government, we don't run most of the media, we don't control the police force or the military. Even if there were many black people who would hold racist views(shout out to hebrew israelites and nuwabians), they simply do not have the power to actually harm people significantly with that racism.

The amount of racism that is ingrained in the white supremacist system allows for a white man to basically rape a black woman and get away with it, or to create countless films and television series that unfairly portray black people in and outside of America. It is the kind of system that allows people to value black and brown lives less than that of white people, it is the kind of system that makes black people say "please don't be black" whenever a story about a murder or rape or robbery is reported.

So to put it bluntly, black people can be every bit as racist as anyone else, but the key difference is that black people just don't have the POWER to do anything with that racism. Its why people can call white people CACs to their faces and it doesn't phase them, because that slur doesn't nearly have enough power behind it. A word like "******" has a lot of history and power behind it. That was the word they used when they lynched innocent men, that was the word they used when they destroyed black businesses. That is the word they use when they nearly beat an unarmed person to death because he is "resisting arrest" or what they say when they're raping a woman or whipping a slave.

you're correct in a sense but i don't know many blacks who really believe they're born superior to all races. they may hold a reactionary defense towards whites, but living in their power structure where whites control everything. i don't think they truly believe they're genetically better at the core.

this video is on point.

terms like "racist" & "racism" have become popular words that tend to be used outside of their proper context. its to the point where most people dont even understand the meanings of those words anymore.

its like the other week, when some c00n on here tried to call me racist, simply because i mentioned that adele is a beneficiary of white priveledge.:laff:

I would imagine when they look at america's olympic teams they at least sense a level of physical superiority. I know I sometimes find myself going "damn, we really dominate some of this shyt :wow:"

I mean really, when we look at the top 10 athletes in many sports they tend to have some African heritage.

Hockey-Jarome iginla
Basketball-Michael Jordan
Baseball-Barry Bonds, Jackie Robinson
Boxing-Sugar Ray Leonard, Muhammad Ali
Track & Field-Usain Bolt

You see where I'm going with this.

Obviously I don't think athleticism is intrinsically linked to blackness, but its easy to come to that conclusion

that's all well and good, dominating sports and all. but who owns everything else? when they look at their checks, who is it signed by? it's not black people.

Racism in America means spewing hate to another group .
No one in US uses the definition that the dude in the video is talking about .

Some of the most racist things I've ever heard in person came from black people .
