It's gotten quite ridiculous. Nowdays I'll see people bashing whites without ease, usually with an excuse such as "white privilege" or "just a joke". Yet, when a white person does the same, they'll quickly be labeled as racist.
I wonder when people placed their own stupid thoughts on what racism meant? I'm pretty sure the definition was always:
-
the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races.
-
prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.
-
-
Nowhere do I see anything concerning who is the one being racist and who is the victim.
-
Of course, I'd hate to be one-sided and only have people who agree with me respond to this thread. Surely someone may disagree and provide a reason why. Only rule is that resorting to name calling or "you won't understand as a white" won't work. No, I'm not a Republican who hates blacks(I am not a democrat either). Also, I'm an arab. I've dealt with my own issues. I don't have the mystical white privilege. My father has dealt with problems as well. He went from the ghettos to a good paying job.
“I am not a racist. I am against every form of racism and segregation, every form of discrimination. I believe in human beings, and that all human beings should be respected as such, regardless of their color.”
