FOR EXAMPLE: Telling a black person "You act white"
or telling a white person "You act black"
:uhh: let's discuss.
Cause my dumb ass friend is thinking this is a joke. I had to debate a bit.
Blacks are incapable of being racist. We are capable of discriminating so when statements like this get made by a black person I consider it ignorant, bigotted, etc.
However, a white person on the other hand, THAT's racist!
No not at all. But I can see how a person can find it offensive and derogatory.
I think it's more ignorant than racist.
Ignorance more than anything.

I think it's more ignorant than racist.
So if someone said that to you... Then you say "what do you mean"
and they reply with something like "you don't like rap music, you dress white (which obviously their saying you're not sagging your pants, wearing snapbacks, hoodies), and/or you don't like chicken, you can't dance, etc."
what do you think then?
Cause that's basically the same thing... is it not?

It's not. lol
imo still falls in the ignorance and stereotypes category than it does racist or racism
but I'd gather them, tell them about themselves and why they're less than smart for saying those things

Yes I do.
It's basically saying all black people are the same and putting blacks in a box.
"You're not gangster enough to be black" I agree it's IGNORANT as well. But it's like it's an essential quality of the comment that makes it racist.
Saying it, I feel like that's taking away someone's identity away from them in a way like saying "You're not Zinc, you're Charlie."
you'd be like WTF :uhh:
Yeah, I think it's like it's an essential quality of the comment that makes it racist.
:ohwow:

I don't agree. I think Blacks can definitely be racist, just not towards whites, as they don't know what it's like to be discriminated against for their race.
Racism =/= discrimination
:udontlookok:
But yeah blacks can be racist towards Latinos and Asians and stuff and vice versa

Hmm.
I guess I never thought of it as discrimination.
But that is also true.

Not really but I do think some of the gorls go out of their way to mimic the white kids they grew up around.

!!!!! Blacks are definitely capable of being racist. I've seen it firsthand. There's racism and bigotry in every race. Blacks aren't exempt at all. It has to be said. I hate when black people say that blacks can't be racist because they sure the fuck can be racist.
And ignorant as fuck? Yes. Yes I do :uhh: :dead:
Who over the age of 14 is still saying that shit

:uhh:
not racist but ignorant
Most black people who claim they can't be racist don't ascribe to the basic definition, which is just the belief of being superior to other races. They reference the systemic, institutionalized definition of racism in which they have little to no power to deny other races of social, economic or other kinds of oppurtunities. So they define any bias they have as bigotry or prejudice, but not racist due to their position in society.
blah blah blah :plzstop:
Lol @ blacks can't be racist?
who lied to you? they most definitely can...
yall throw racial slurs on here all damn day.

This is not true.
A black person can be racist.
If you have a hatred or fear of another race, then you can be racist.
Nah
Racism operates the same on both a micro and macro level. The latter only being able to flourish because of the former. Racism (the oppression & benefit over others based on race), still is the same as it was in the past regardless of it being less overt and "institutional" now. :)
I think some of you confuse racism with prejudice/biases.

But then you must ask, where does the oppression stem from. If a race is victimised due to the fear and hatred from another race, that's racism. If you discriminate against another race because you feel your race is superior then, you are a racist, no matter what skin colour you are.
Anyone can be racist.
Let's use a mixed race person as an example.
It's moronic and ignorant to say that if they're targeted by white people, it's racism, but if they're targeted by black people, it's not.
The oppression would stem from the racial majority. That same majority would then use resources to exert bias in a way that benefits their group the most, and keeps minorities in check. Institutional racism would be at the macro level of society, and micro racism would be the lower level, belief model one.
In theory, you could say that a black person could be racist...but it really wouldn't benefit them at all because they don't have the same privilege of protection that others may have. Blacks who deny the capability of being racist seem to have an outer locus of control, seeing as they have to depend on other groups for positive outcomes in their lives.
Can you guys give examples of blacks being racist?

Well for starters, some black folks on Twitter were wishing death on that boy trapped with the gorilla when they thought he was white.
n @ black people can't be racist. I don't know why people say that.
I get the point theyre making, i just don't agree.
