(5,018 posts)but I still disagree with the idea that blacks can't be racist, under your definition or mine. Under yours, in the US, blacks hold power locally in institutions over other local minorities. And of course, there's the fact that in many countries of the world, blacks have control of all major institutions in a country.
Under my definition, there are certain tenets of certain ideologies like the Nation of Islam that could be interpreted as racist.
I don't think black racism is a major problem, I just think the definition of racism that purports to support that claim isn't an accurate or useful definition.
I think it's a lot less problematic than saying that talking about race is racist. That is such a widespread, right-wing meme that I see quite often, and not just said by whites, but almost always said by those with lots of power and privilege, racial or otherwise.
