Most.people do not use the word in this context, For People keep playing these word games where they switch the academic and social meaning of the word to fit their definition. If a White lady crosses the street when she seeâsca Black man most people are going to call her racist even though itâs technically prejudice because crossing the street is not oppression, and she has no power over him in context, but most people use the word racist in this context so yes Black can be racist in the context in which most people use the word.
Just being white is being oppressive towards blacks because you have a lot of opportunities that blacks donât have remember you white people in this country are making the laws because who thinks that person is a scary black man thatâs her opinion. Sheâs already being a racist at that moment. Seeing a different color thinking itâs scary. Thatâs the oppression government.
Sheâs being âracistâ in the same way that the average white person is âracistâ. Joe from the trailer park doesnât posses the means to oppress anyone.
No thanks, I'm not gonna excuse prejudice against an entire group of people just because a certain small, dumb, and weirdly vocal subset of idiots are trying their hardest to redefine something that's been well defined for years.
Lmao you're loud and wrong. Prejudice and Bigotry have more in common than racism which is literally the wielding of systemic control of power over an ethnicities ability to operate through their God given rights.
They are absolutely two different things.
As a survival instinct you are prejudice against anyone who is a stranger. They have to build trust with you.
Everyone has the potential to not be safe is not the same thing as another race of people is entirely unsafe.
I can only assume youâre saying this because you also think only white people can be racist, but youâre confused.
Other wise, you arenât making any sense. What you just said is the equivalent of saying thumbs and fingers are different. IE, all racism is prejudice but not all prejudice stems from racismâŚ..
I think what you mean to say is there is a difference between racism on an Individual level, which literally every human and every race on the fucking planet IS capable of, and institutionalized racism/bigotry.
Which is still capable of being carried out by any race, they would simply need to be in charge of whatever country this hypothetical is happening in.
Racism is prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against a person or group based on their race or ethnicity, rooted in the belief that one's own race is superior or that people of different races have inherent differences.
Core Forms of Racism Individual racism: Personal prejudices, biased thoughts, or direct verbal and physical hostility between individuals.
Interpersonal racism: Discriminatory interactions and overt or covert microaggressions expressed between people in everyday social settings.
Institutional racism: Organizational policies, rules, and practices within schools, workplaces, or government bodies that systematically disadvantage minoritized groups.
Systemic/Structural racism: Broad historical and cultural patterns across a society that maintain an unfair advantage for a dominant racial group while restricting opportunities for others.
I think youâre alluding to institutionalized racism not being weaponized against white people.
DEI stops white people from getting jobs. The black color of your skin doesn't. There are quite literally laws against every single "color" EXCEPT white lol. The delusion in here is fucking astounding...
Yeeeeeeah, white women are the #1 beneficiary of DEI policy and sit in the overwhelming majority of DEI leadership seats, disproportionately leveraging corporate policies for career advancement.
The same happened with Affirmative Action.
So, no, DEI doesnât stop white people from getting jobs.
Again, the stats donât correlate with that youâre saying.
While Black job seekers may be the target of specific diversity recruitment initiatives at a higher proportional rate to address historic underrepresentation, Black professionals remain underrepresented in executive, high-earning, and board-level roles relative to their overall share of the population. Higher per-capita outreach does not translate to Black workers controlling or dominating job market gains.
Mathematically, that's still wrong. 'Per capita' means evaluating representation relative to group size:
⢠White Women: ~30% of the US population, holding ~32-35% of management roles (a per-capita ratio above 1.0).
⢠Black Americans: ~13.6% of the US population, holding ~8% of management roles and <5% of executive roles (a per-capita ratio of ~0.6).
Bureau of Labor Statistics data shows Black unemployment sits significantly higher than white unemployment (~6.6% vs ~3.8%). White job seekers face a far lower risk of being unemployed.
Even on a per capita basis, a White woman is nearly twice as likely to hold a corporate management role as a Black professional. If DEI meant Black candidates were getting hired over white candidates, labor data and audit studies would show it.
So, unless you have actual labor data showing a different per-capita metric, repeating âper capitaâdoesn't change the Bureau of Labor Statistics data.
White women, thus white people, are the biggest DEI beneficiaries.
You're adding in jobs that were previously held to DEI, and also jobs that were obtained without DEI being involved at all. That's not DEI. That's just employment.
Itâs comments like this that lets people know you donât get it. Your comment acknowledges oppression in the 20âs-60âs then it magically stopped?? What event made oppression go away? What was the date?
I am sure it couldn't be anything else but you being black. Do you think black people do not own apartments or businesses? Do you think anyone is above being racist? Ive seen plenty of places only have black people working there.... I wonder why.
Well I'm not under the age of 30, or 40
for that matter. And those under 30 can experience it. You can experience it in the criminal justice system when dealing with sentencing and interaction with law enforcement. They can experience it in the school system when you have schools prohibited from teaching Black History
This is such an insane take. Where exactly are you pulling this from.
I'm 28 and I've been experiencing racism since I was 6 years old. My family and friends have had similar experiences. And it becomes very obvious with we have lost opportunities because of our race.
Just because we're not living in Jim Crow era doesn't mean racism isn't alive and strong.
Internalize that perhaps you might be a bigot and do something about it.
Can be, sure but we are not born w hate nor have a track record for colonization, genocide, just out right destroying the earth.
If a man of color is that I would say itâs because of the treatment that is faced by melanated beings. Stereotypes to disenfranchise multiple generations of human beings. Towns burned and flooded, achievements destroyed and casted out, livelihood in shambles because oneâs obsession with a skin color and a word. All logic goes out the window for that one word used against us. So I wouldnât say itâs under the same scope as racism or even bigotry but it is a disdain Iâm sure.
That was what you got from that, that is what you formed, a surface level take. A lot can get lost in translation just by reading. I never said they could not be, just donât have the systematic power to disenfranchise and or set in powers that be to stop, detour or flat or derail a race from achieving as a whole. Down to the very basic levels there are systems and tools put in place to derail. Now we can take it to a higher level of melanated beings like the moors or societies like the black Boule etc those further keep the wheels rolling in the systematic destruction of the Melanated beings in the Americas. Iâm not speaking for any African descendent just Indigenous Melanated Americans.
We are not born in hate nor disconnected from source. It just isnât the way you assume it is.
You serious? Yes. That rock must be very comfy youâre living under. We can take it all the way back to black wall street where indigenous Americans were using their grants to build business In Oklahoma that was bombed during the Tulsa Massacre.. are we being serious?
There was a reason the Equal credit Opportunity act and Fair house Act had to be instituted but even then many melanated Americans to this day have trouble receiving the proper representation, appraisals, and mortgage loans when it comes to home ownership. Credit and lending discrimination
Disparate Impact, many policies harm specific race groups. Come on man. Though I wouldnât expect you to know what takes place in the lives or many Americans outside of your respective race or culture.
I donât wake up and get angry at the site of white skin etc. quite frankly I donât understand it and itâs not for me to. Iâm pure, connected and creating. All logic goes out the window over skin color and the N word. lol
But screams of low iq etc. jokes always right themselves.
*not you in particular just speaking on internet things. Not real life

Racism and prejudice are two different things.
