Racism describes a systemic advantage based on race.


No, it fricking doesn't.

Noun
racism (countable and uncountable, plural racisms)

The belief that each race has distinct and intrinsic attributes.
The belief that one race is superior to all others.
Prejudice or discrimination based upon race.

Racism has multiple meanings, and one is prejudice based on race. I've had this same line toted to me but it's just stupid.

Does that mean as a white man living in Mexico City I can't say or do anything racist because I don't stand to benefit in the system?

Of fricking course not. This is one of the stupidest things I've ever come across.

White privilege applies where whites are the majority.

We call it white privilege in America because whites are the majority here.

We're not talking about privilege, we're talking about racism. The charge is: Blacks can't be racist in this system because they don't stand to gain.

That's literally one of the stupidest things I have ever heard. A racist statement is still racist regardless of who utters it.

Agreed.

That's kind of what the film says, from what I've gleaned.

If it tries to say that a minority can't be racist, I'm uninterested.

I have no idea about the rest and I'm too cranky to actually listen to liberals tonight -- I'm dealing with that charge directly.

Saying minorities can't be racist in any way because of an external system -- that one specifically, is what makes me bootybothered.

It doesn't. It's insightful and will most likely make you laugh.

Look, the black conservative Aggie is recommending something put out by liberal t-sips. That means it must be exceptional

Sitcho cranky white arse down and listen. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised

We have both established the lunacy of this

I mean, I could be racist against my wife if I so chose. Racism is racism.

A thread full of white southerners complaining about black people pointing out that all things are not equal.

Color me shocked.

Black people can't be racist, cause we changed the meaning of 'racist' to mean 'white people.'

You guys laugh at this but if you think a large percentage of southern blacks being on welfare is a benefit to that culture as a whole, you're an idiot and so are they.
Completely agree, but most southern blacks do believe it is a "benefit" rather than a disadvantage to be on welfare. Blacks are still enslaved. They're enslaved to the system and they don't even realize it.
