The Game Metaphor: How to Teach Racists That There is no Such Thing as Reverse Racism

[ismnotwasm]

101. We are talking within a paradigm of dominant whiteness

There is no aw shucks down home wisdom about that dominance, it is historical fact. Within that paradigm, reverse racism not only doesn't exist, it cannot exist. Not unless the word "racism" is redefined in such a way it loses meaning

Human beings are not perfect and I think every damn one of us is bigoted or prejudiced about something we shouldn't be. That isn't the point. There is no need to water down what racism is by saying "they"--who ever "they" may be, "do it too" there is also no need to play definition games or word games when discussing racism, predjudice and bigotry. We know, or should know, what these words mean.
Human beings won't overcome the disease of racism unless it is owned and acknowledged in all its ugliness.

Straight from the heart.
