Black People Can't Be Racist

Argument: Because black Americans cannot enact racism via institutions, they cannot be racist as individuals.
Counter-Argument: Institutions and individuals are different contexts in which racism can be discussed; they should not be conflated.
Arguers' Faults: Neglecting context and splitting hairs.

How is racism going to stop if we believe that a specific race can't be racist
@@Saiyanshanze13 Wow, you are exactly the person that they were talking about. Maybe don't categorize and entire people based on their skin color? You are literally promoting more racism and you honestly believe its ok.
@@oblivionspartan so when I say white people are racist... I can either mean few, some, most, or all yeah? Why don't you ask me which?
@@oblivionspartan ever heard of the blue eyes brown eyes experiment conducted back in the 50s? Conducted by Jane Elliott?if you were to ask her today? She would say white people are racist before they are even born, with an argument that is pretty hard to beat when you take a look at the statistical facts behind what she is saying. And I'm not even taking her stance
@@Saiyanshanze13 If you're not taking her stance then why bring it up? From what I know about her she would say that there is only one race, the human race. Just stop spreading hate.
@Winston Mosquehill did I say racism means "you benefit from something"?
You and I can be poor as shit and if we hate each other the purpose of racism continues to succeed.. dumbass.
If you think racism was created to benefit 'whites' you sir are the dumbass.
If I was my best friend...I'd be dead. My parents would have both been Irish. My surname was Sills. We grew up in the same hood. His little brother and I were in the same grade. Our little sisters are in school pics together from jk to 8. My sister went to a different high school for gifted kids. Brian is dead. Brian was in the same Socioeconomic bracket as me. We exemplify how literally nothing has changed. Me... black. The slave. Him Irish. The hireling.
Google up the second stanza of the American anthem. Its author was who racism was created to benefit. It wasn't me...a black. Or Brian... A white. Specifically. A poor Irish Mick.
Your TSN turning point would be a little incident called Bacon's Rebellion.
Add that to the list of shit they forgot to teach.
Want a few more?
Black suffrage post slavery. MLK should have never existed. Blacks were voting post slavery during Johnson's reign, the first time Congress ever overrode a president.
Another?
Mansa Musa. You think Jefferson would have said what he did when he wrote the Notes to Virginia about blacks? One black poet had him make a feeble assed recant of some of the racist shit he spewed. Clearly he had no idea who Musa was. Prior to the internet... Did you?
Want more?
Christopher Columbus. Look how many white people are defending statues of this rapist and murderer, not realizing that the man never discovered America because he never set foot on American soil. That would be Americos Vessputti or however you spell his damn name I go by memory not Google sorry.
So... Don't bother attacking me personally... just address what I say.
EDIT:
And by the way I notice how you edited out all your insults to me including calling me a dumbass. You're quite the little punk
I’m black and I grew up thinking this because I heard people say it. When I got older I challenged that thought. We can’t just make up a different definition of racism and make it suit our beliefs. By definition anyone can be racist.
I agree with you sister. Please continue to resist that thought. Everyone can be racist.
Abandoned Hope Sister. 😁🖤
@David Guez White Americans can figure out their European lineage very easily by looking a few generations back. Our ancestors were all stolen and forced to be here, so we've lost track of a lot of our ancestral roots. "Black," exists because "Black," people share experiences with each other in America. White Americans share nothing but their skin color and a history of racially charged oppressiveness. We acknowledge each other as "brother," and "sister," because we're all in this together and being a family is the best way to be sure we get through it.
@David Guez How did you misquote me three times? Also, we're talking about AMERICAN slavery, AMERICAN oppression, and AMERICAN racism. Poor white Americans were not oppressed because they were WHITE, they were oppressed because they were POOR.
African American slaves were slaves because they were BLACK, and yes they were sold by "other Africans," but it wasn't out of betrayal. They were sold as prisoners of war because the tribes weren't exactly friendly with one another.
When we discuss Black Americans, we are discussing 400 years of systemic oppression that has almost exclusively, and disproportionately affected Black and Brown people and communities.
@David Guez No one thinks ALL white people were slave owners, but ALL white people are immune to the repercussions of slavery, and have benefitted from a system that gave us super-power status. They have benefitted in that white men are never considered savages, or beasts, or animals, or anything less than human.
They are considered full fledged humans without a second thought, while Black people don't get that same luxury, even the wealthiest and most affluent among us being subject to racist violence and discrimination that white people don't at all experience as a result of their race.

Redefining words is a good way to win an argument without being right.
Bigots always use deliberately unquantified, undefined, unfalsifiable weasel words.
The only definition of racism that holds across the board is the last one he gave. Racism is hatred based off of race/ethnicity. Black ppl can by definition be racist
The way that they refer to racism as a system stems from the actual true definition. By the structural/govt definition the girl from the movie used or the politician guy give its true that black people can't be racist. BUT thats definition doesnt define the word fully
Ziggy Ziggy not entirely wrong, it just doesnt hold across all circumstances. Its an incomplete definition that is still honestly true under her circumstances
(movie wise)
"Racism is hatred based off of race/ethnicity. Black ppl can by definition be racist"
Thats what I said. Black ppl can be racist too.....
If you ever hear someone say a black person can't be racist, just know that person is in fact a racist.
But didn't you look it up in the white man's dictionary!?!? /s Mooney is a good comedian but an absolute idiot when it comes to the definition of racism. And this is why so many black people believe things like this, there are a lot of famous blacks that repeat this nonsense like it's fact. Amazing.
@@kinkane5566 We can be prejudice But we dont have power to be racist
@@xdark_matter00 You're mixing up the definitions of words. "Institutional racism" is what requires the power to oppress. "Racism" is just a prejudice against another person due to their race and as such, ANY race can be racist - regardless of being in positions of power. Btw... black people have plenty of power in the US. Obama...Oprah...Lebron... and there are tons of ranking blacks in the military. I'm not sure at what point African Americans would admit to having power...

The fact is blacks have gained a lot of power in this nation and you seem to be forgetting what your own people have achieved. Also... rich people HAVE POWER lolol. Oprah has more power than a ton of people because she's not just rich, but everyone listens to her opinions. You are a fool stuck in the past and you refuse to see the reality of today. You are not giving your own people the credit they deserve.
I'm Asian and the majority of discrimination I've experienced has come from black people. Black people can, in fact, be racist.

@Moist White on AsAm racism tends to be more passive aggressive than overt. You get "put in a box" with preconceived stereotypes. It's why Asian men internet forums give an awfully toxic/incel vibe. If society tells you you aren't manly enough, you'll express frustration on the internet with other frustrated men.
For the women in our cohort, they regularly deal with men who see them as an object. You'd think, "cool! You have hordes of men into you!" But it's actually dehumanizing and creepy. That's from what the women in my family told me.
"I'm not racist by definition." is like saying
"I'm not guilty by law."
i dont get it.. what are you trying to say?
... exactly.
? I'm not guilty by law, would actually mean you're not legally guilty.
"I'm not racist by definition" - should mean, by the definition of Racist, I am not racist.
But, as it was used here, it means, "I have chosen a definition for Racism that is meant to describe institutions, and applied it to individuals, excluding every other definition of racism, because it destroys my argument."
I'm Mexican, I'm in the middle. We are racist towards mexicans and nobody else

Considering racial prejudice IS RACISM (It's literally one of the definitions of it) I was facepalming about every 10 seconds during this cringe-infested video. People are just dumb.
Honestly, that does kind of make sense if you think about it. If you're charged for murder but you killed someone else who you aren't being charged for you're not guilty on that one case.
in india the so called low caste people(ST and SC) gets jobs easily and are in power yet they think they are oppressed
listen, i don't agree with the video. anyone can be racist, but there's a difference between racism and prejudice. racism is the unequal distribution of power on the basis of race and the sentiment that there is one superior race but prejudice is a preconvieved notion about a certain group of people on the basis of race such as stereotypes. here's a source if you want. www.thoughtco.com/racism-vs-prejudice-3026086

I suspect they in fact do understand what the word 'racist' means.
Nobody wants to be labelled as racist because we are all aware of bigotry based upon one's skin colour is wrong, yet they still hold racist opinions. The solution to being racist while avoiding the label is to change the definition of the word so that it can't be applied to themselves.
Mr. Aces that definition has been changed to suit white guilt buddy. Racism is a system. Picture this, 1850 white 7 year old ask his mom why blacks are treated like shit, the mom will always say "thats how things are" or in simple terms, "i didnt make the SYSTEM, I just abide by it"

He even said in his 'I have a dream' speech that protesters shouldn't be violent, that black and white people need to work together and stand together, that all men are equal, where people "are not judged by the colour of their skin, but by the content of their character".

Basically "it's okay when WE do it".
"It's okay for black people to say the n word but it isn't for any other because if any other race said the n word it is racist. Regardless off the context in wich it is used" these people think that you cannot do something because of your race. They really like to play the victim and use slavery as an excuse. You are going to get offended by 1 single word just because you look different and my that my ancestors weren't Africans. "some can say it and others cannot" You can say anything regardless of race. Being disrespectfull towards black people because of their race is racism. A word is not racist on itself. Being offended doesn't mean you are right...nor does it give you the right to take away someone's freedom of speech.
its the same as saying when some can be racist and some can not.

Blacks don't wanna be reminded of it by someone who looks like the once oppressors, so don't say it. Blacks say it so if a white person says it to try and make them feel bad, it won't sting as much. All in all, why the hell would you wanna say a racial slur period, ESPECIALLY if you know your ancestors used it in derogation.
Aden Ferguson could you elaborate for me?
@Aden Ferguson racism is hate towards another race or person because of their race anyone can be racist like saying all white people are the same or saying all black people are the same those are both racist. Tho ig ignorance is bliss
Isn’t saying “black people can’t be racist” racist in of itself?
Yes
Hell no. Where do you see any racial indications or signifiers that saying exactly that is racially antagonistic?
How is saying "black people can't be racist" the same as calling somebody a n*gger or some other racist word? IT'S NOT. What the hell?!
Bill Baldwin by saying “black people cannot be racist” implies that a black person is incapable of being/doing something because of their race, which is racist. Racist towards non blacks as it suggests that they can have that bad trait while black cannot, and racist against blacks as it would suggest that black people are incapable of having a personality trait among their own due to their race.
Bill Baldwin it’s technically not the same due to that ones a phrase and the other a word, and someone may argue that words deemed racially offensive aren’t offensive if it’s not meant to be offensive, an example being that saying “that ***** Joe is a really cool guy” is far better than saying “blacks don’t deserve human rights and they should serve their superiors”, now I’m not saying I 100% support that argument but I will say I understand it
“We can be racially prejudice, but not racist.”

Slaves can, and have become masters throughout human history. Even better, freed African slaves during the 1700s also held their own slaves.
HERE is why this “because of power structure” line fails with ME, .. . because I often hear white people getting called “racist” or “white supremacist” for things that DO NOT REQUIRE ANY POWER to do and that people of other races are JUST AS CAPABLE OF, like stereotyping, name-calling or “using a slur”, or telling a joke about someone.
@@Skulldini another reason the power argument fails is because of all the minority groups in the US, BP wield the largest amount of socio-political power. Also with political correctness gone amok, they wield more social power than even white people.

By definition, ANYONE can be racist. Black, white, Hispanic, Asian, whatever you are. You have the capability to be racist. There are racist blacks and whites. Let's not push the blame in just one group. Every group has bad people in it
By one definition of racism- A belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits, can definitely be applied to any race but my point is this includes blacks. Some black people have wrong preconceived ideas of who white people are. For example, it is suprising the number of times black people want to twist the words or actions of a white person just to fit their preconceived notions, ie. The movie 'white men don't jump', or they use phrases white people are too uppity, stiff, or not cool .... you get my drift? The point is racism can and does apply to all races and this does apply to black people too.
Abya Yala, I well know the difference. The only problem is that ignorance is a subset of racism.

Tyrin Ramsey your right and sorry if this is a long comment. I remember back in school some black kid thought I was white and didn't like me using the word "nigga" because its racist for me to use it even though everyone and they're mothers used the word 24/7 even the mentally challenged kids used it in school, so I turned the tables on him told him "I'm not white, I'm Hispanic so what are you trying to say we all look alike? and if it is that's racist and if you don't like me using a racial word why would do you keep using amongst your own race when it was used as a label and to degrade your race?" So this kid kept avoiding the question and saying a lot who-ha about beating my ass which he never did. Great times

If someone argues about how they can't be racist by intentionally misunderstanding you and changing the meaning of a word, it's usually a good indicator that they're guilty of the charge. What all these black racists mean is institutional racism, not racism in general. It can be assumed that they intentionally blur the line between the two in order to legitimize their own racist ideology.

"Black people can't be racist" itself is a racist statement. The dictionary defines "racist" as "...who believes that a particular race is superior".

Rabbittavo I guess the Middle East owes white people. They had a slave trade far longer and more violent one.
First no. Middle eastern slavery was an entire different system just because it is the same word doesn't mean it works the same everywhere. like there are different forms of gov. there are different systems of slavery. Any system that takes away peoples right to self determination is wrong.
Why do you think M/E slavery only involved white people, this is not true. Also Europe had a slave trade at the time also. ....
Besides this though.
Are white people currently opressed in the middle east? I am actually asking you may know something I do not.
A/A people are not harping on slavery. only people who know the barest fraction of black history would assume that. So many things happened after slavery that we still feel their after effects today.
for insight into this check out 13th on Netflix.
Also america was never taken over after slavery. we still have the same governmental system that presided over the institution of slavery. We are saying thr gov needs to rectify systemic issues standing in the path of any race. The problem is white people often make black history about themselves and cannot take any time to think about how a black person may feel scrolling through these comments. living in this country, reading history that either ignores you or lies (Texas school books calling slaves "workers " or "indentured servants" so it's less awkward for the white kids)
these are not healthy relationship behaviors and living in America is a relationship between cultures. I urge you to scroll down this page and think about how a black person would feel...
BTW look at the first comment. look up the history of that words usage in america. look up the disgusting scientific experiments done on black people under that word. that word recalls days where we we're 3/5 of a person and could be raped leaglle ijs if you think that it is unimportant you are a sociopath and heartless. it hurts to still hear it in 2016 and to know that the op may have children who will learn to use it in 2030...

Black people have changed the definition of racism to suit their argument. The actual definition of racism has nothing to do with the system...when power is used to enforce racism, that is called "institutional racism" or "systemic racism". If a black person hates white people and thinks whites are inferior, he is racist against whites.

Yo, dude, neither have most current members of kkk

Almost certainly, none of us involved in this discussion have ever lynched anybody. It'ss like Yondu telling StarLord about how he didn't eat him. Are we supposed to thank him for not lynching us? Clearly, black people can be racist, biased, prejudice, discriminatory, and black people can and have lynched people.
Are there differences in the ways and degrees to which groups can opress eachother in a society? Yes. The obvious flaw in the argument of this video is that, in African countries, where white people are a minority - can white people not be racist there? Can Japanese not be racist in China? Trying to change the definition of racism to suit an agenda is folly.
The only moral and logical solution to any of these issues is to stop creating and labeling and grouping people by race. Skin colour is nothing more than a superficial genetic trait, like hair or eye colour. I am not white, I have light skin. You are not a redhead, you were born with red hair. Black is not who you are, it's a discription of physical attributes. What your grandparents looked like, or where your generations came from, those things don't make you who you are. There's one race, the human race, and we all look different. We must stop creating cultures and biases and societies and wars based off of something as silly as skin colour. Race is a stupid lie made up by stupid people to try and sell something. There's no such thing as black people and white people anymore than there is short people and tall people. We act like fricken star bellied sneetches, it's ridiculous and embarrassing. We all breathe the same air and bleed the same blood.

we are one race thats different ethnic groups black - white - Asian but we all one race
It's like saying "only pepperoni pizza is pizza"
You can't define something as only a subset of itself.
"Systemic racism" and "Individual racism" are subsets of racism.
"I can't be racist! I'm just racially biased!"
"I can't be a terrorist! I'm just using lethal tactics to scare the population!"
"I'm not a sexual predator! I just prefer to do stuff with kids!"
"I'm not a serial killer! I just stopped a bunch of people from living!"
And okay that last one kinda sounds like Death Note, but you get the point.
Now the whole comment is funny but that Death Note call out!
@Sydney Gadzovski I'm not a mass murderer, I'm just the God of the new world.
I'M NOT A TERRORIST. I JUST USE THE IDEA OF HELL TO INFLICT FEAR INTO PEOPLE IN HOPES THAT THEY LEAVE THEIR LIFE BEHIND AND TURN TO SKY DADDY!!!
@blueBeanieboos TV the christian god
The sexual predator argument was actually used........
Humanity has officially lost their collective minds.
FunkeeMawnkee - HEY, that's 'humanism' and that's just WRONG! 😁
