I never said you need a system or resources to hate someone. I've talked to you about your poor reading comprehension before. I said you need ownership of they systems and resources to practice racism. For example. If i own the legal system I can make laws that punish one race unfairly like for example the crack laws that arrested more Blacks than white heroin users/dealers.I see that like most uneducated people you tend to believe the definition of a word is the end all be all. You also need to research the etymology of a word before discerning its true meaning. Racism is a system based on racist beliefs. Hence "race" and "ism". Only the dominant culture can maintain racism. Black people cannot practice racism because they own zero systems/resources in the US.You're right. Merriam Websters (I take it Sassy won't object to that site?) defines it:That is NOT the meaning of that word.
racism
Simple Definition of racism
- : poor treatment of or violence against people because of their race
- : the belief that some races of people are better than others
- Full Definition of racism
- 1 : a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race
So if you want to argue that liberals believe that minority races are inherently superior to whites and better than whites, you can. However, I don't usually see that type of attitude. Maybe I'm just moving in the wrong circles.
- 2 : racial prejudice or discrimination
YOu stated that "whites in America can't call minorities and liberals racist, because racism DOES mean the dominant culture believing it is superior to others".
This is obviously NOT true when you look at what the word actually means.
Whites can CERTAINLY calls various minorities and liberals racist if they, for example, "treat whites poorly because of their race".
THere is no need for blacks or liberals to be the "dominate culture" before they can be racist.
That was you looking for a reason to give black and liberal racists a pass.
Nonsense designed to give you and racists like you a pass.
YOu don't need a "System" or resources to hate someone.
Or to act on it.
AND thus treat someone "poorly" because of their race and by doing so meet the definition of "racist".
THose laws were requested BY BLACK LEADERS to provide more protection for their black communities.
AND as I said, you still don't need to control shit in order to act on the hate and racism you feel.
All you need is an opportunity.
We have discussed random violence against Whites. You support that.
There are few examples of "poor treatment" more clear cut than random violent attacks.
AND yes, I do recall that you spun some weak justifications for that attacks, in order to tell yourself they were justified.
