No stupid. Blacks cant be racist. Even if I did hate all white people that would be prejudice not racism.
I lectured at an HBU.
The black students I know from there have told me that blacks can be very racist towards whites.
I'm glad to see Asclepias isn't another one of your socks. . . interesting. . . .
I've had this disagreement with him before.
Folks will think what they think.
Honestly, I don't understand how Obama or Denzel Washington have less power than homeless vets on the street. . . got me. . . This is America, $$$ is power here.
I don't know where Ascelpias lives. . . got me.
". . . Suppose an analogous example of theft. For sake of illustration, imagine theft, a crime of stolen property, was stipulated as part of a system of oppression and occurred if, and only if, power and prejudice were determinants.
More still, because a person of color cannot benefit from the oppression, it’s impossible for theft to occur even if a person of color steals someone else’s possession.
In this case, because power and prejudice are immaterial, the act is no longer theft but, instead, false borrowing.
As a consequence, a non-white person could, in effect, steal a white person’s property. But the only recourse, if theft must include prejudice plus power, is to designate such a person a false borrower.
Again, this is ineffectual drivel, and it points to an error in reasoning. Neither theft nor racism are contingent on power or prejudice.
Proponents of the prejudice plus power stipulation must consider whether it applies to any other domain of social life.
The collective supersession of complexion over individual character suggests that a homeless white man has more power than, say, Denzel Washington or former President Barack Obama.
Untenable though this may be, this is where the logic leads. . . . "
The sociological definition of racism as prejudice plus power is immoral and dishonest. Though it’s amusing how non-white people attempt to absolve themselves of their racism on account of their nonexistent institutional power, they are, in effect, racists.

I would agree your example is profoundly disturbing drivel. You just created a false dichotomy by using a word that is not a combination (theft) as an example of a word that is a combination (race + ism). The reason this fails is because we are combining two terms with racism while not doing so with theft. Since racism exists only as a product of power then my reasoning and subsequent denial that Black people simply cannot practice racism in the US is correct and unarguable. If I open a Black only bank and said no white allowed, white people will laugh and go to BoFa or Wells Fargo. They are in no way harmed. If all the white owned banks got together and barred Blacks and had my bank shut down by a regulatory commission then Black people would be fucked. Thats racism. Racism isnt some backwoods hick calling me the N word. Thats just ignorant prejudice. I can laugh and move on (after I knock his teeth out of course).
Your premises are all wrong.
I can cite scholarly articles that PROVE race is a social construct.
Whites have fooled the black community passing as black, and "blacks" always pass as white.
You are writing nonsense. Words have meaning, and have to be applicable to a universal standard.
I understand what you want it to mean, and I understand what you are trying to do. . . but it just doesn't work that way.
There is not one single authoritative legal or scholarly source that will give you the definition of racism that you want to manipulate the language this way. . . not that I know of. If there is. . . link it.
Otherwise? Stop being a racist if you want folks to take you seriously.
Do you get brother?
