I recently found out that a visitor to my home considers me a racist ...

12. Think about this:

"Prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one’s own race is superior"

In this country, who have been subjected to prejudice, discrimination and antagonism, by whom historically?

Who have established the legal, societal and institutional means TO engage in prejudice, discrimination and antagonism?

The point being that wherever one side holds all the cards to institutionalize forms of prejudice, discrimination and antagonism in any particular society based on racial definitions of who are superior and those that are left to be classified as disadvantaged, then the controlling party are the ones who are engaging in racism.

A Black person who simply hates White people, in a society where that hatred has no power to be institutionalized, then he has absolutely no power to put White people into a position of disadvantage. If the tables were turned, and Blacks had that sort of control in a particular society, then it would be racism, because it's Black people who are calling the shots.

Anyone can be prejudiced and bigoted, but in this country, as long as White people are calling the shots, establishing standards and controlling our overall institutions, then whenever they engage in forms of prejudice, discrimination and antagonism, then only they can be classified as racist.

Also think about this, how many times have you heard women described as being "sexist" in this country?

Not many, right?

The same principle applies.
