I remember watching a Cops v BLM supporter on Middle ground, and realized it was in 2019. Imagine bringing it up now, Middle ground better be prepared for that
Black people generally call out all racism done to us whether systemic or individual but when the question is flipped, a lot of us pretend that racism is only systemic. Growing up my neighbor was very racist against Asian people. She called them all chincs and said very derogatory comments. She would order food from the Chinese store and say "I want general tso chicken. You better not give me cat or dog because I know yall eat that." There is no way that anybody can claim that this is not racism. I want everybody to be held accountable for their discriminatory and prejudice comments and actions no matter how big or small.
@@agathachris9722 That's true in a way but any hateful rhetoric towards a minority group snowballs into and perpetuates racism and systemic oppression. I described it in comments to others towards the top of this comment section.
I need help understanding the “minorities can’t be racist” train of thought. If a minority person holds racist beliefs they’re not racist, but if they travel to a country where they’re a majority all of a sudden they become racist? The person hasn’t changed. Their location changed. Think about this hypothetical situation: say we do have a government where only minorities can vote but the individual races still account for a smaller percentage of the US pop than white people. If the minorities use their power to target white people, would they be racist then? And if the racist white people still hold beliefs, are they still racist in this society?
@@jadie9643 I think it depends more on the person rather than the groups as a whole. There was one guy in the video, sorry I can’t find his name right now, who went against this train of thought.
I don't agree with it but here is line of thinking. The thinking is people in power can only be racist because they can do real life harm and people without any power can not be racist because they cannot do anything about it.
Ok one thing about our community is the stubbornness. It’s PAINFUL. How the hell can you stand there and say we cant be racist to other races? Now why are you lot saying I aint black because of my name… listen to the stereotypes you put on YOURSELVES 😭
We can’t , do your research on what racist means. the word “ ISM” means system yet no where is the definition of “RACISM” itself does the word “SYSTEM” exist. That was done purposely so we don’t acknowledge “RACISM” for the larger system that it actual is . RACISM can not be exercised without “POWER” , which should also be in all the definitions . The word “RACE” itself , was created by “RACIST” white people in the 16th century to categorize and oppress people. At the end of the day WHITE PEOPLE are at the TOP of the hierarchy and they do the MOST oppression to everyone . While black WOMEN are at the bottom then black MEN at the 2nd bottom . Other minorities aren’t as effected in systematic racism like black people are . There are tons of facts regarding that on the internet feel free to research yourself however if you want one we can look at REPARATIONS as a great example. The massacre of INDIGENOUS PEOPLE in America were paid REPARATIONS but black people were never paid anything . Even if a WHITE person were to go into a ALL BLACK TOWN and be denied JOBS , SERVICE , ETC that wouldn’t be RACISM THAT WOULD BE DISCRIMINATION simply because THAT TOWN STILL EXISTS in a larger system where WHITE PEOPLE still hold the power dynamic . if that same WHITE PERSON went anywhere else in the world and exercise their privilege in being in proximity to their whiteness, where as those black people can not , they are limited to only that town . With all the being said black people can not be racist , prejudice YES
@@PurpleHAezee Racism:”Prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group,typically one that is a minority or marginalized.” key word: Typically. Saying you can’t be racist is racist. I don’t know of your awareness of what’s been happening to Asian people during the pandemic. But there has been a lot of hate crimes committed against Asians because of stoicism about the pandemic, and a fair bit of the perpetrators were black. That’s racist and completely fits the definition
@@PurpleHAezee racist is : “a person who is prejudiced against or antagonistic towards people on the basis of their membership of a particular racial or ethnic group”. ANYONE can be prejudiced towards ANYONE because of their race/ethnicity. So anybody can be racist sorry
Imani Gordon the only place that mentality makes sense is america, go to any other country and yes black people can be racist to asian people, vice versa
The comment to Adib “Glad you’re on the same side as us for once.” is the problem. He did well with having his own thoughts & opinions. I wish there was more of that.
7:00 I think a lot of people confuse racism and systemic racism, they are two different things. If a black person walks around throwing asian slurs they are racist. Its not systemic racism but it is racism. People need to stop equallizing systemic racism with racism because they are not the same.
@@hc7092 here's the thing. Society is a different ball park from a courts. Hell, people don't even get charged for being racist, much less systemic racism. If A murders B because A's racist against B, A's only gonna get charged for murder, not for murder due to racist influence. Hope that this somehow makes sense
@@hc7092 I honestly don't get your arguement. This are literally two textbook terms that have no relationship to law. Feel like you are aetting up a shitty arguement to derail convo so go ahead I guess. Only law in regard to race is really hate crimes in specific. It's a whole different ball game of terminology and specifics I can't get into because I am not educated in the specifics of law.
So as the prompt was "Black people can be racist", that refers to racism, and not to systemic racism, doesn't it? Maybe this could have been clarified in the question?
Adib was really smart and clearly has gained his own knowledge on these subjects. i think i appreciate that more than anything due to him not just “going with the crowd” and him speaking for him.
I have to agree with Adib about racism . I feel the question about racism is a general question, not limited to America Thanks for agreeing with me, 900 people🧡💜💙 There's still racism going on during covid especially Asian hate🥺
People are trying to convince themselves that systemic racism is the only racism. A minority throwing slurs like a black person yellong slurs at an asian still is racist. I dont get why its such a hard concept for people that there is a difference between systemic racism and racism.
@@HawkUnleashed yeah, these days from the news mentioned some black people were being racist towards Asians after covid started to spread. As a Korean-American person, I'm sad about this. We have to get along with each other in order to be united, not divided by hate. Martin Luther king said to never judge people by their skin color, only judge by their presence. Luckily, I haven't experienced people using racist comments at me in person for many years or racial violence
@K C Americans do it, American blacks and whites are in numbers in a fairly small part of their cultures, but they tend to do everything about themselves, and that's the progressive politics that looks at the world with American historical glasses and it's simply retarded.
@K C no they shouldn’t have because not all of them were descendants of slavery. Like Adib is Ethiopian so his family lineage didn’t go through slavery
The definition of racism is “prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group” which can go for any racial group. If you are prejudice on the basis of race, that is the literal definition of racism.
Seems like the type of dude who really tries to consider an idea or position instead of jumping the gun on them. Always got mad respect for people like that.
Jubilee, a small suggestion. you should make it so that people can't see each other before they make a decision on where to stand on these spectrum videos. I feel people either follow other people or choose to be on the opposite side and are influenced by other people's decisions before they even think about the answer. Once they have figured out their stance, then you can remove the veil. That will lead to much better discussions and all opinions be heard.

Yo, Adib is on another level. He’s actually open minded enough to see the bigger picture vs seeing what you want to see. Especially at the racist, and reparations questions. He’s open to debate and discuss back and forth, vs everyone else having already coming in having their minds made up. Shut off from any new ideas or ways of thinking.
Agreed. Also, black people can be racist. Black people can even be racist to other blacks. I know some African blacks, Caribbean blacks, and Afro Latinos who HATE black Americans but yall arent ready to get into THAT topic!
@@ifyouwantoreplyjustclickth5063 it goes vise versa. I’m a little iffy on the topic. But I think the word your going for it xenophobia. Not racist exactly since the people you listed are part of an ethnic group not a race to an extent.
Nah, I have the feeling that he is not informed about the term 'racism'. Because racism includes the system of a state. So what he actually talks about is Xenophobia when he talks about racism in America that is coming from Asians towards POC's. Context always matters, because everything else would make it too easy to misinterpret
PART, not the whole thing. prejudice is different. racism is different to different people depending on the region you live in as not every country defines race as the same thing and there’s not one single race majority across every country in the world.
Racism is always a system. Systematic racism is very redundant. The suffix ism means it’s a system. Capitalism is a system, communism Is a system, racism is a system.
@@laurenstring8432 This is just flat wrong. Google the definition of "-ism." -Ism also is used for ideologies and philosophies. Racism itself is not a "system"; it's an ideology/philosophy that people hold/believe in. Systematic Racism means that the ideology is not random but baked into a society. Aside from the flat out definitions here, "systemtic racism" is also a term, which has its own definition that is a gestalt of its parts and not its parts alone. So please stop spreading your ignorance. Thank you.
I think people really need to be educated on what racism is and what systematic racism is. Black people are undervalued and there is definitely prejudice systemically and there are definitely races that are racist towards black people. But to say black people cannot be racist I honestly believe is blatantly wrong. Systematically, they cannot be, but of course they can be racist towards people.
It’s semantics. What you’re describing is “prejudice”. Like yes, black people can be prejudiced. and bigoted. But racism is an “-ism” and is inherently systemic. Capitalism and communism are economic systems. Racism involves system of racial oppression or discrimination. In the United States, therefore, black people cannot be racist as a group although they can be individually prejudiced.
@@nugget814 Systemic Racism (also called institutional racism) is a form of racism that exists across a society within, and imbedded in institutions/organizations across society
Of course, black people can practice systematic racism. I read about a memory from an integrated school where a black teacher deliberately improved grades on blacks and no white was able to give anything better than B, he was unable to give the worst grade to any black from English who still received the worst grades in other subjects and failed. The black teacher took justice into his own hands for discrimination in the lives of blacks and began to favor blacks and discriminate against whites quite visibly, when this system of thinking we and they have blacks in themselves like almost no other group you can meet in the United States
I think the “can black people be racist” argument is getting confused with “can black people be _systematically”_ racist. Most people can agree that black people can be racist, but have black people implemented that racism into systems that negatively effect non-black people? No.
yes they have, it is called "blm". you start by lying about police abuse. then you inject anti-white CRT garbage into schools. the only people i see being oppressed in 2022 is white people. if i say something bad about a black person, everyone will defend them. if i say something bad about a white person, yal would make a sign out of it. ask yourself this, can i buy anti black racist t-shirts on Amazon? no? then why can you buy anti white t-shirts that say "white silence equals white violence"? blacks are being put a pedastle that they dont deserve. maybe blacks would deserve it when they remove murder lyrics from their music or reverse the "no-snitch" code and actually work with police.
@@datboishagg682 Yea idk about this chief, apparently Asians and Africans speaking against the antics Europeans commit is oppression? Nah fam we are just taking what belongs back to us back. You are all also ignoring the anti-Chinese sentiment Americans project too.
@@datboishagg682 Please brush up on your trolling skills. This was the worst attempt I’ve ever seen at trying to create chaos in the comment sections. - Troller since 2007
@UCCYznCqy6a2ArlNRYGoRawg Yup. It’s critical toward liberal thought because liberal policy and practice has become performative and underwhelming in attempt for racial justice.
I think people have confused and conflated oppression with racism. Anyone can be racist. Only people in power can oppress. Sometimes racist people are oppressive. But being racist doesn’t imply action. It can just be thoughts and opinions. For example, a white person thinking all Indian smell like curry is racist. Is it oppressive? No. Does it require any action beyond thought? No. Where did this new definition come from?
I think this line of thinking comes from the increased awareness of the term 'systemic racism' which is a very important term to describe something significant in the US, but people have started applying the concept to all racism.
I think people never clarify the answer to this question enough. Anyone can be racist black, white etc. However, institutionalized/systemic racism would be far more unfeasible for black people to employ given their position on society's social and economic ladder. This means that they'd be largely incapable of institutionalized racism as individuals and as a group entirely, not solely based on their virtue but because of their position in society.
Nothing but respect for Adib, it’s very hard to stand on your own, esp when you’re feeling pressure from your community to change. But I also respect the other people too, and I think conversations like these are necessary for people to be on the same page as opposed to name calling and stuff when there are disagreements
Jubilee, i loved the idea of revisiting old videos with the same "crew" and showing how their opinions changed. But i believe you guys could add the old opinion somewhere in the screen (perhaps when the person is talking?) so we can easily see how it changed.
Bro ong, people these days fear asking questions because they don't wanna be cancelled like wtf. I hate that question that black people are more homophobic than any other race
@@tomitankenginebecause its another stereotype that needs to die. Homophobia is in every race. Black people aren't the most homophobic group out there. Other nationality, race and etc can be homophobic due to different beliefs

Adib, you're a real one, brother! I respect you for not afraid of thinking differently , able to clearly explain your stance and challenge others' worldviews. Great episode!
everybody can be racist. If what you said IS racist, it remains that way regardless of the impact. What is racist to be said in China IS RACIST around the globe. And for impact, regardless of who said the racist comments IT HAS IMPACT ON THE PEOPLE THE COMMENTS ARE MADE ON.
@@bmwjourdandunngoddess6024 thats like saying they cant be victims of hate crimes, i.e. targeted murder/attack for simply being white. Stop trying to dehumanize any race, period.
I didn't like Efa's comment at the end telling Abib, "Glad to have you on the same side for once". Eventhough I didn't agree with everything Adib said, I can't stand that in the black community, if you have independent thoughts that don't go with what the majority is thinking, you're going to be labeled a c-word or a sellout. We are not a monolith.
It's because his opinions were wildly out of step with Black reality. The comment makes a lot of sense, but it wouldn't come off that way to people who were nodding in agreement with Adib and scrunching their noses up at everyone else.
@@vincevvn Yes, Brad. We're literally in this comment thread because of the vastly different opinions Black people have. Can you read? Are you a child?
I'm not black but a minority and in my community, I agree, we aren't a monolith. It's annoying. Minorities get mad for being generalized but then some do the same for themselves. What gives? And if I think differently I'm an uncle tom.
I disagreed with Adib on most stuff but I think he was correct about the racism bit. For example, (older) Asian people are pretty racist towards black people. It's not systematic but it's still racism. That's the one thing with progressive groups that isn't great - the insistance that POC can't be racist. It is not as harmful, far-reaching, or systematic but there is still interpersonal racism. It turns people off to hear people say that you can't be racist towards white people, or just that POC can't be racist in general.
I disagree on the as harmful part. With whites there's the KKK who don't hold any position of power and are punished for their crimes if the court is able to link it back to them but still do harmful things to anyone who isn't white. Any race really has the capability to do that. I kind of agree with the systematic part but countries where POC are the majority systematic racism can exist
@Kemonie The definition of racism literally includes having prejudice against a different race. You're the one who should read a book! Learn to accept that there is more than just systemic racism.
@Kemonie Ah, so you just use part of the definition of the word "racism" for your argument, and completely disregard the other half cuz it's decided by the system and doesn't fit your narrative. Get a grip lmao.
@Kemonie Yea it is fundamental, so why can't you do it? You said that racism is only systemic which is not true. There are many many types of racism, like internalized, interpersonal and so on... Systemic racism is just one type of many. I can't believe i actually have to explain this.
It's weird that people are praising Adib for "thinking for himself." And what... the other folks didn't? I thought everyone including Adib had really thoughtful reflections and explanations.
I think far to many people are not aware that there are different types of racism: 1. Instutional racism. Which still exists because even if racist laws were repealed especially black families have less money because their parents and grandparents faced open racism. 2. Interpersonal racism. People being racist on a personal basis without power structures.
Exactly, people are only focusing on one definition. When they say Black people can’t be racist they are only focusing on the institutional definition. Anyone (including Black people) can exhibit interpersonal racism.
Thank you!!! And what a lot of us (namely PoC) don't recognize is that interpersonal racism plays a huge part in institutional racism; lateral violence is a weapon of white supremacy.
"black families have less money because their parents and grandparents faced open racism." Do you have any proof of this? Blek people's median family income has pretty much stayed the same since the 1960s when adjusted for inflation. So your hypothesis of more racism = less money is not show in the data, as long as we both agree that the 1960s was more anti-blek then now. Blek people are doing worse in like every metric as the culture becomes more pro-black. The average white household will inherent $15,000, not even enough to buy a new car, so your theory that whyte people have more money than blek people because of the discrimination that their family members faced in the past is not proven. On top of all this information asian people, and je w s are wealthier, more educated, and are imprisoned less than whyte people.
There are institutions founded by and run by black people for black interests. If you’re in a predominantly black region in a predominantly black school and you aren’t black, there can absolutely be institutional racism against you. The lines you draw around society to define racism are arbitrary. Country isn’t more relevant than town, school, office, social group when all these communities have rules and leaders that can instill racist policies. Why stop at country and not world? There’s not even some hard cut off of what position races have in society in America. The mental gymnastics to justify what some grand standing Harvard professor wrote half a decade ago is wild. We’re moving backwards for what? To protect virtue signaling peoples ego?
"How does a Black person being racist in America benefit a Black person?" Most people have next to nothing to gain or benefit from being racist, but still choose to be. They care more about the stereotypical images and fears they have of people they barely know than thinking of the premature logic behind their mindsets.
I really hope that the same energy that ppl are giving to this video about the definition of racism. Is the same energy y’all use in your homes and communities to address the racism there as well.
My fav part of this channel has always been that you guys create a safe space to talk about important issues & I love that you guys did a follow up on this bc it shows there is always room for change~
Thank you for asking the question about homophobia in the black community. I personally disagree (and perhaps some did as-well but didn't want to admit it) cos there IS a lot of homophobia in the black community. However, I think that its very nuanced, they're not inherantly homophobic cos of their skin colour obviously but rather they were oppressed and responded with hyper-masculinity and being strong in order to survive. The caveat was that this hyper-masculinity had the by-product of breeding homophobia as a result of stereotypes. The same goes with the Black Church. It's no surprise that black people tend to be more religious. Sociology suggests that disenfranchised individuals in tough situations often turn to religion as a coping mechanism. The church is often homophobic, subsequently influencing black individuals' attitudes towards The LGBT community. This is not just limited to black people but also POC. I've noticed that people of colour tend to also be more homophobic indubitably due to the same reasons.
Or maybe it’s because they’re religious? By default you can’t support lgbtq+ if you follow most religions. People need to learn to coexist we don’t all have to agree with each other that’s impossible. You can’t change the way they think just like they can’t change the way you think.
@@kingkris6877 should’ve been more specific you’re right. I ment the Abrahamic religions which is the type of religion majority of people in the world follow.
Correct and if you think your race can’t be racist you are in fact racist. Because you are basically saying your race is better than others cause they can’t be racist. Jamaican friend told me that and honestly I agree with him fully.
I didn’t agree with most of the things Adib said but I appreciate the fact that he wasn’t quick to agree with what everyone else said and he instead formed his own opinions. I wish they asked them about colorism as well because the black community loves acting like it doesn’t exist.
This is great, but I wish the three of them didn’t have such a narrow definition of racism. Everyone can be racist. This entire discussion, on the many questions, deserves a lot more time!
Yea the definition of racism was kinda redefined during the BLM movement, it kind of attempts to gatekeep the word to racism when you have power, so you can’t be racist to a white person. But like the guy was saying power is relative, she can fire someone, kids can bully someone etc, they have the power in those situations. Systemic racism is what they mean, because yea racism towards white people isnt built into the system
Yah, I agree with Adib on what was said about racism. I think black people can be racist. There doesn't necessarily have to be a huge impact on the prejudice they display on that certain race but it's the concieved thought or spoken words that that person has said towards that community... Racism is "Typically" targeted at minorities but I think it's possible for it to be targeted at majorities as well
I think there needs to be some distinction made between types of racism for them to answer that question about whether black people can be racist. Systemic racism is very different from personal bias/discrimination. Black people in America may not currently have the power on a large scale to oppress other races, but a black person is as capable as anyone else to say or do racist things. And with that type of denial comes a lack of conversation and acknowledgement about hate crimes against Asians in America, for example
I sort of disagree that it is not systemic. If a minority person is racist to another minority person/group it is still cementing the fact that the group in question is valued less in society and they "deserve" to get unequal treatment. It still perpetuates the unequal treatment of that person/group. The way that the targeted person/group feels or perceives that treatment might be different than if the privileged group had enacted that bigotry but it still added to the heap. It doesn't outright deny, for example, housing, but it still oppresses the group so that their issues don't get heard and they get psychological harm from it. People don't know that Chinese people face redlining and Indian people get discriminated in the housing market.
Yeah, it's become a loaded question. In my opinion, the question "can ___ be racist" should be a general question, unless they specifically say "systematic racism."
@@itsdonuttime7729 Yeah, I understand what you mean. But when you say “it still perpetuates the unequal treatment of that person/group,” it poses an interesting question about cause and effect that I’d like to learn more about. For example, does discrimination through individual, person-to-person interaction eventually lead to more systemic discrimination through policy in today’s society still? Or do large scale stories or events cause more individual discrimination? Because I definitely think that personal and systemic discrimination go hand in hand, they’re just not the same. I’d like to think that in the past, policy often reflected opinion, such as the racist south with segregation laws and such. But in more modern society, it almost feels like huge cultural events cause individual opinions to shift. Like with covid and the increase in anti-Asian hate crimes. I also think that I haven’t been aware of it until recently as I grew up in post-9/11 society, but the increase in anti-Muslim hate crimes as well, after 9/11
Idk what he was trying to say tho lol. Does admitting the obvious racism across many police institutions mean you hate law and order? Everyone wants to feel safe, it’s literally the reason black ppl are fearful and angry with police. Because we don’t feel safe and the enforcers of “law and order”, do not obey their own rules
@@Ray03595 there have been recent movements to abolish the police I.e. reduce funding, reduce traffic stops, and in general police these neighborhoods less. The impact of this is called the “Ferguson effect”… look it up when you get a chance. The side effect of less policing and funding is that crime actually grows and the victims are predominantly people of color. This is what I was kind of talking about.
@@adibk okay but that wasn’t the question on the vid. Maybe they edited a section out but you go straight to defending law and order when the reality is very little ppl are against law and order. An abolish police “movement” fizzled out within what, months? Because nobody really supports it including the minorities who live in these communities. More attention was given to it than necessary. And yes there have been movements to police some of the neighborhoods less and have the funding go more towards education as an alternative. Idk if that’s the solution. But it still sounds like a discussion worth having. I just don’t see how the original question asked in the video immediately leads to a defense of polices existence being necessary. The amount of ppl who want no police at all is so so minimal and has had no impact on the country and when the question has been asked in Minnesota it was an overwhelming no.
I disagree with the concept that just because you're part of a minority in a country, you can't be racist. Whether racism is systematic or not, it's different, everyone can be racist. I'm Hispanic and for a while I lived in a white predominantly country, there I met an indigenous guy, and he used to say horrible things about his community, features, and stereotypes. I told him that was racist and discriminatory and he just said he's part of that community so he's allowed to say all those horrible racist things if he wants 😐
Because racist vs prejudice is the difference between the n word and calling white people cracker. The weight is completely different. If the Jewish called the Nazi’s a name it would have no impact due to power differences.
i understand what the three of them meant about the racist question, but their opinions contradicted the question. They were saying "yes, we can be racist, but not to the same degree." Since that was what they were saying, they should have been on the agree side. It wasn't a question about power.
The way no one went to agree when they talked about the homophobia thing is irking me like it’s a well known fact that black peoples are more homophobic even ask any lgbtq member and they’ll tell you
The irony of Adib setting the record straight with Kanye’s message about ideological freedom and then revealing that he was experiencing blatant racism from within his own race for having different views is insane
Tbh I think it's time for permanent differentiation between the two things racism refers to. There's "systemic racism" for segregating laws and the like and there's "racial bigotry" looking at another person and assuming the worst based on your profile of "those people".
Yeah, it's hard for people to understand the way racism has been used "informally" and the systematic difference (and the fact that these are two different things)
@@Zoe-tg4dl Yeah, absolutely. But after seeing the "what are we actually talking about" argument a million times over, isn't it just a time-waster to use "racism" for the interpersonal thing? Someone's going to conflate it with "systemic racism" immediately, so why not start off with two terms that cannot include each other?
jauxro why make it more complicated. you’ve already got two words for it, systematic racism and racism. one is on a much larger scale than the other but they both have the ability to lead to each other. if people can’t understand the difference between systematic racism and racism idk how you’re gonna get them to understand two new definitions of the same thing. this is a very USA-centric issue, so no longer using the word ‘racism’ to describe racism that isn’t systematic is going to further exclude the US from the rest of the world and will likely continue to add to the issue rather than address it, at-least in this day and age. there will always be people who misinterpret someone talking about racism as systematic racism and vice versa, so THAT needs to actually be addressed rather than making up new words with the same inherent meaning as the ones previous. i don’t think there’s any point in making up new words to describe words you’ve already got, seems like a bigger time waster than actually just addressing the issue in the first place
peopel already know theres more than one type of racism. theyre just making it difficult and being pedantic cuz they cant admit theyre wrong about system. anyone can be racist ffs
I love Adib's take: "So what your basically saying is: in order to be racist, you can only be white in the U.S." Dang kinda ironic that you're prejudging people on their race
I love how white people want to be anti-racist only when it's to dunk on Black people. The only ironic thing here is your lack of selfawareness, Bellend.
It makes me feel so gross and ashamed at the way my community brushes aside the racism we are capable of AND have shown to others in the past. I’m tired of this “Can black peoples be racist” question because all it produces are the same illogical and stubborn talking points we have adopted. And whenever Adib brought challenging counterpoints, the others just ignored them and repeated the same thing over and over again. You’d think after the Asian hate crimes at the start of the pandemic that people would put aside their righteous victim mentality and see the pain our community has caused to other groups, but alas…
8:00 Reparations needs to be used in a pratical manner of improving society and urbans areas without doing that you are still allowing for systemic racism. The key isn't throwing money at people it never works. The key is solving key issues in education, employment, and urban areas.
How do you improve society and urban areas? Most people see that as gentrification. And then that would still require money to be handed out. Right? Or no?
Why do so many Americans not understand that “systemic racism” and “racism” have two different definitions. Anybody CAN be racist by the very definition of the word itself.

@@ifyouwantoreplyjustclickth5063 This! There is a massive amount of racism towards different people of the same skin color all over the world. In the EU you can see so much racism toward other white people/cultural backgrounds/nationalities that it's insane.

At times I do not feel accepted in the Black community due to my sexual orientation. I think there needs to be some type of change in how some members of the black community treat their LGBT people. At the end of the day WE ARE ALL BLACK and should be supportive of each other disregarding gender, body size and financial situations.
When it comes to the argument of who can be racist, I really wish there was a different word- because people misunderstand and think we mean black people can't be prejudiced. Can we be racist against someone? Yes, racial bias is the definition of racism. Can black people as a whole cause the same impact as white people with our racism? No. Institutionally, white people have benefitted too broadly for black people to have an INSTITUTIONAL impact. The institution of racism in America itself was built upon by slavers, who were white. The question of racism in its most basic form pertaining to whether a black INDIVIDUAL can be racist versus racism on a NATIONWIDE perspective is different. Everyone in America is racist to some extent. But what peoples are actually hurt by this everyday? White people are not, they as a whole are not suffering everyday because someone saw their race. This DOESN'T mean racism against them doesn't exist, but INSTITUTIONAL racism for them does not exist. I can fire a white person and presumably(if they dont have criminal records, drug issues, etc), they will bounce back much easier than a black person with a clean record. Even without a clean record, in many states a white person is better off. YES, a black person can be racist and cause emotional damage to another individual. NO, black people as a whole cannot hurt white people as a whole with our racism. We need more words for stuff like this.
If you take this definition to the extreme you can justify anti-Semitism which is why even ADL changed their definition of racism TWICE once they realized who it can also be applies to (Prejudice against someone based on race -> Prejudice against someone based on race which benefits white hierarchy -> Prejudice against someone based on race) So we've essentially come full circle.
I am utterly perplexed that majority of them actually disagreed that black people can be racist... How come? If you are a human being and are able to speak you are perfectly able to utter racist words toward another. Their explanations of why they disagree almost feel like saying "I can mistreat you based on you beeing of different race than my own but you cannoct call me out on it because I'm black, and black people may be 'prejudiced' but not racist".
i think ppl aren’t understanding what it means to be racist, black ppl, or any group, in any country can be racist towards themselves and others. let me explain: it’s one thing to be racist and not be able to negatively affect someone bc of that racism, BUT it is in fact still racism. im hispanic and i know some hispanics who r racist towards other hispanics, even if they aren’t in a position of power and r going to fire them because of it, they can still be racist
I think there is a confusion in the racism question, I think most of them interpret racism as systemic racism, which are two different things although related. Black people arent and cant be systematically racist but they can be racist in their beliefs or towards individuals, etc. Same goes for other minorities
It is sad because it should be 'with great power comes great responsibility' but just look at most world leaders, the majority of them are turd brains.
bruh chinese people did alot for american and we still look down upon and no reparations od chinese people died to survive bare minimum just build transcontinetal rail road etc and did hard dirty jobs
they said black people cant be racist because they don’t hold enough power, yet i’ve faced racism from all types of people, including black people where, in that situation, they for sure held more power over me. Edit: I’m South Asian btw :)
they say that because they stick with the 'racism is rooted in power' argument. I'm West Indian, and I've faced non stop racist remarks and treatment from black people
To the question about racists, I think everyone can be no matter what the color of your skin looks like. I personally think it depends on the person because as someone whose Asian American I have dealt with first hand experiences with racists/racism from many different ethnicities, races and backgrounds. But I don't single them out and think that everyone who looks like that person who was racist to me is racist.
Define “media tricks”. Why is it always an assumption that black people are being “tricked” be the media? You do realize we can form our own rationale’s based on our personal experiences…?

It is mainstream in modern society to combine the definitions of "racism" & "systemic racism". The word racism has nothing at all to do with power or ability to harm. Racism is having prejudice against someone/group of people based on their race. Absolutely everybody can be racist.
13:50 Why did she have to say that? Just cuz Adib had different opinions doesn't mean he's wrong or less of a black person for having ideas that don't go with the crowd, like "black people can't be racist". I respected his ideas on that more than the others
A lot of these comments are implying that just because multiple people have similar/same opinions that the opposing one (typically Adib) is somehow better??? He’s allowed to have different thoughts and while I disagreed many both of the first and this video, I’m not putting him down on it but a lot of y’all are saying everyone else was pressured and he’s the « only brave » one for standing his ground. Who’s to say the others weren’t either? Clearly they did since they all shared their opinions. Like…a lot of y’all aren’t even discussing the content just celebrating because he deviated often…?

She would order food from the Chinese store and say "I want general tso chicken. You better not give me cat or dog because I know yall eat that."

I need help understanding the “minorities can’t be racist” train of thought. If a minority person holds racist beliefs they’re not racist, but if they travel to a country where they’re a majority all of a sudden they become racist? The person hasn’t changed. Their location changed. Think about this hypothetical situation: say we do have a government where only minorities can vote but the individual races still account for a smaller percentage of the US pop than white people. If the minorities use their power to target white people, would they be racist then? And if the racist white people still hold beliefs, are they still racist in this society?
I think minorities have the belief that racism and systematic oppression due to racism are one in the same. Which they are not.
@@jadie9643 I think it depends more on the person rather than the groups as a whole. There was one guy in the video, sorry I can’t find his name right now, who went against this train of thought.
I don't agree with it but here is line of thinking. The thinking is people in power can only be racist because they can do real life harm and people without any power can not be racist because they cannot do anything about it.

We can’t , do your research on what racist means.
the word “ ISM” means system yet no where is the definition of “RACISM” itself does the word “SYSTEM” exist. That was done purposely so we don’t acknowledge “RACISM” for the larger system that it actual is . RACISM can not be exercised without “POWER” , which should also be in all the definitions . The word “RACE” itself , was created by “RACIST” white people in the 16th century to categorize and oppress people. At the end of the day WHITE PEOPLE are at the TOP of the hierarchy and they do the MOST oppression to everyone . While black WOMEN are at the bottom then black MEN at the 2nd bottom . Other minorities aren’t as effected in systematic racism like black people are . There are tons of facts regarding that on the internet feel free to research yourself however if you want one we can look at REPARATIONS as a great example. The massacre of INDIGENOUS PEOPLE in America were paid REPARATIONS but black people were never paid anything . Even if a WHITE person were to go into a ALL BLACK TOWN and be denied JOBS , SERVICE , ETC that wouldn’t be RACISM THAT WOULD
BE DISCRIMINATION simply because THAT TOWN STILL EXISTS in a larger system where WHITE PEOPLE still hold the power dynamic . if that same WHITE PERSON went anywhere else in the world and exercise their privilege in being in proximity to their whiteness, where as those black people can not , they are limited to only that town . With all the being said black people can not be racist , prejudice YES

The definition of racism is “prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group” which can go for any racial group. If you are prejudice on the basis of race, that is the literal definition of racism.

It’s semantics. What you’re describing is “prejudice”. Like yes, black people can be prejudiced. and bigoted. But racism is an “-ism” and is inherently systemic. Capitalism and communism are economic systems. Racism involves system of racial oppression or discrimination. In the United States, therefore, black people cannot be racist as a group although they can be individually prejudiced.

Of course, black people can practice systematic racism. I read about a memory from an integrated school where a black teacher deliberately improved grades on blacks and no white was able to give anything better than B, he was unable to give the worst grade to any black from English who still received the worst grades in other subjects and failed. The black teacher took justice into his own hands for discrimination in the lives of blacks and began to favor blacks and discriminate against whites quite visibly, when this system of thinking we and they have blacks in themselves like almost no other group you can meet in the United States
I think the “can black people be racist” argument is getting confused with “can black people be _systematically”_ racist. Most people can agree that black people can be racist, but have black people implemented that racism into systems that negatively effect non-black people? No.
yes they have, it is called "blm". you start by lying about police abuse. then you inject anti-white CRT garbage into schools. the only people i see being oppressed in 2022 is white people. if i say something bad about a black person, everyone will defend them. if i say something bad about a white person, yal would make a sign out of it. ask yourself this, can i buy anti black racist t-shirts on Amazon? no? then why can you buy anti white t-shirts that say "white silence equals white violence"? blacks are being put a pedastle that they dont deserve. maybe blacks would deserve it when they remove murder lyrics from their music or reverse the "no-snitch" code and actually work with police.

@UCCYznCqy6a2ArlNRYGoRawg Yup. It’s critical toward liberal thought because liberal policy and practice has become performative and underwhelming in attempt for racial justice.
I think people have confused and conflated oppression with racism. Anyone can be racist. Only people in power can oppress. Sometimes racist people are oppressive. But being racist doesn’t imply action. It can just be thoughts and opinions.
For example, a white person thinking all Indian smell like curry is racist. Is it oppressive? No. Does it require any action beyond thought? No. Where did this new definition come from?
I think this line of thinking comes from the increased awareness of the term 'systemic racism' which is a very important term to describe something significant in the US, but people have started applying the concept to all racism.
Racism (as a whole) comes in MANY shades. Systemic and casual are just some of the few.
The “can black people
Be racist” is a never ending argument.
I know right hah
and it's literally an argument abour definition of rasism
Ofc they can. If you belong to a race you can be racist even on a micro level
I think people never clarify the answer to this question enough. Anyone can be racist black, white etc. However, institutionalized/systemic racism would be far more unfeasible for black people to employ given their position on society's social and economic ladder. This means that they'd be largely incapable of institutionalized racism as individuals and as a group entirely, not solely based on their virtue but because of their position in society.
Why would someone having this argument? It would be obvious the black people can be racist the same thing for Latinos,asians and other races.
Nothing but respect for Adib, it’s very hard to stand on your own, esp when you’re feeling pressure from your community to change.

I disagreed with Adib on most stuff but I think he was correct about the racism bit. For example, (older) Asian people are pretty racist towards black people. It's not systematic but it's still racism. That's the one thing with progressive groups that isn't great - the insistance that POC can't be racist. It is not as harmful, far-reaching, or systematic but there is still interpersonal racism. It turns people off to hear people say that you can't be racist towards white people, or just that POC can't be racist in general.
I disagree on the as harmful part. With whites there's the KKK who don't hold any position of power and are punished for their crimes if the court is able to link it back to them but still do harmful things to anyone who isn't white. Any race really has the capability to do that. I kind of agree with the systematic part but countries where POC are the majority systematic racism can exist
Yeah me too

The fact people still can't differentiate between racism and systemic racism is a problem. Every single person CAN be racist.

It's weird that people are praising Adib for "thinking for himself." And what... the other folks didn't? I thought everyone including Adib had really thoughtful reflections and explanations.
Same. It’s so backhanded and lowkey racist lol
The way all the non Black ppl in the comments are praising Adibe is so weird 😭
The way you assume they're all non black is weird
I think far to many people are not aware that there are different types of racism:
1. Instutional racism. Which still exists because even if racist laws were repealed especially black families have less money because their parents and grandparents faced open racism.
2. Interpersonal racism. People being racist on a personal basis without power structures.
Exactly, people are only focusing on one definition. When they say Black people can’t be racist they are only focusing on the institutional definition. Anyone (including Black people) can exhibit interpersonal racism.
Thank you!!! And what a lot of us (namely PoC) don't recognize is that interpersonal racism plays a huge part in institutional racism; lateral violence is a weapon of white supremacy.
"black families have less money because their parents and grandparents faced open racism." Do you have any proof of this? Blek people's median family income has pretty much stayed the same since the 1960s when adjusted for inflation. So your hypothesis of more racism = less money is not show in the data, as long as we both agree that the 1960s was more anti-blek then now. Blek people are doing worse in like every metric as the culture becomes more pro-black. The average white household will inherent $15,000, not even enough to buy a new car, so your theory that whyte people have more money than blek people because of the discrimination that their family members faced in the past is not proven. On top of all this information asian people, and je w s are wealthier, more educated, and are imprisoned less than whyte people.
Well said
There are institutions founded by and run by black people for black interests. If you’re in a predominantly black region in a predominantly black school and you aren’t black, there can absolutely be institutional racism against you. The lines you draw around society to define racism are arbitrary. Country isn’t more relevant than town, school, office, social group when all these communities have rules and leaders that can instill racist policies. Why stop at country and not world? There’s not even some hard cut off of what position races have in society in America. The mental gymnastics to justify what some grand standing Harvard professor wrote half a decade ago is wild. We’re moving backwards for what? To protect virtue signaling peoples ego?
Like people like Adib, doesn't get swayed by the crowd and thinks for himself while still being reasonable and understanding of other people's views
The others didn’t get swayed by the crowd either.
How did the others do that?
You assume the others were swayed because they agreed on the same topics , lol you can have an opinion that’s the same as others
naw final question they all chose same answer lmfao
"How does a Black person being racist in America benefit a Black person?"
Most people have next to nothing to gain or benefit from being racist, but still choose to be. They care more about the stereotypical images and fears they have of people they barely know than thinking of the premature logic behind their mindsets.
I really hope that the same energy that ppl are giving to this video about the definition of racism. Is the same energy y’all use in your homes and communities to address the racism there as well.
Its definitely not
Agreed but you know it’s not. It’s racism can happen to anyone but when it does no one actually cares.
Exactly
My fav part of this channel has always been that you guys create a safe space to talk about important issues & I love that you guys did a follow up on this bc it shows there is always room for change~

Thank you for asking the question about homophobia in the black community. I personally disagree (and perhaps some did as-well but didn't want to admit it) cos there IS a lot of homophobia in the black community. However, I think that its very nuanced, they're not inherantly homophobic cos of their skin colour obviously but rather they were oppressed and responded with hyper-masculinity and being strong in order to survive. The caveat was that this hyper-masculinity had the by-product of breeding homophobia as a result of stereotypes. The same goes with the Black Church. It's no surprise that black people tend to be more religious. Sociology suggests that disenfranchised individuals in tough situations often turn to religion as a coping mechanism. The church is often homophobic, subsequently influencing black individuals' attitudes towards The LGBT community. This is not just limited to black people but also POC. I've noticed that people of colour tend to also be more homophobic indubitably due to the same reasons.
Or maybe it’s because they’re religious? By default you can’t support lgbtq+ if you follow most religions. People need to learn to coexist we don’t all have to agree with each other that’s impossible. You can’t change the way they think just like they can’t change the way you think.
@@kingkris6877 should’ve been more specific you’re right. I ment the Abrahamic religions which is the type of religion majority of people in the world follow.
Anyone can be racist, no matter the race/ethnicity. Also Adib is a well spoken guy. Definitely enjoyed hearing his thoughts
Correct and if you think your race can’t be racist you are in fact racist. Because you are basically saying your race is better than others cause they can’t be racist. Jamaican friend told me that and honestly I agree with him fully.
True
I didn’t agree with most of the things Adib said but I appreciate the fact that he wasn’t quick to agree with what everyone else said and he instead formed his own opinions. I wish they asked them about colorism as well because the black community loves acting like it doesn’t exist.
I was in the middle of watching a show and automatically clicked this! That’s how much I love jubilee ❤️
This is great, but I wish the three of them didn’t have such a narrow definition of racism. Everyone can be racist.
This entire discussion, on the many questions, deserves a lot more time!
Yea the definition of racism was kinda redefined during the BLM movement, it kind of attempts to gatekeep the word to racism when you have power, so you can’t be racist to a white person. But like the guy was saying power is relative, she can fire someone, kids can bully someone etc, they have the power in those situations. Systemic racism is what they mean, because yea racism towards white people isnt built into the system
@@swegatron2859 Exactly.
@@draedon_ Agree.
Yah, I agree with Adib on what was said about racism. I think black people can be racist. There doesn't necessarily have to be a huge impact on the prejudice they display on that certain race but it's the concieved thought or spoken words that that person has said towards that community...
Racism is "Typically" targeted at minorities but I think it's possible for it to be targeted at majorities as well
Too many men wanting to be a victim. Proud of the dude that wouldn't just answer the way they wanted him to.
everyone can be racist. I can't believe they're standing there and saying a Chinese person can't be racist towards a Black person in America.

You're racist if you don't think that minorities can't be racist. I've personally witnessed it many times.
the racism one is honestly so embarrassing…
I think there needs to be some distinction made between types of racism for them to answer that question about whether black people can be racist. Systemic racism is very different from personal bias/discrimination. Black people in America may not currently have the power on a large scale to oppress other races, but a black person is as capable as anyone else to say or do racist things. And with that type of denial comes a lack of conversation and acknowledgement about hate crimes against Asians in America, for example
Agreed! Anyone can be racist
I sort of disagree that it is not systemic. If a minority person is racist to another minority person/group it is still cementing the fact that the group in question is valued less in society and they "deserve" to get unequal treatment. It still perpetuates the unequal treatment of that person/group. The way that the targeted person/group feels or perceives that treatment might be different than if the privileged group had enacted that bigotry but it still added to the heap. It doesn't outright deny, for example, housing, but it still oppresses the group so that their issues don't get heard and they get psychological harm from it. People don't know that Chinese people face redlining and Indian people get discriminated in the housing market.
Yeah, it's become a loaded question. In my opinion, the question "can ___ be racist" should be a general question, unless they specifically say "systematic racism."
@@itsdonuttime7729 Yeah, I understand what you mean. But when you say “it still perpetuates the unequal treatment of that person/group,” it poses an interesting question about cause and effect that I’d like to learn more about. For example, does discrimination through individual, person-to-person interaction eventually lead to more systemic discrimination through policy in today’s society still? Or do large scale stories or events cause more individual discrimination? Because I definitely think that personal and systemic discrimination go hand in hand, they’re just not the same.
I’d like to think that in the past, policy often reflected opinion, such as the racist south with segregation laws and such. But in more modern society, it almost feels like huge cultural events cause individual opinions to shift. Like with covid and the increase in anti-Asian hate crimes. I also think that I haven’t been aware of it until recently as I grew up in post-9/11 society, but the increase in anti-Muslim hate crimes as well, after 9/11
Adib: I like Law & Order...
Me: Wtf does Mariska Hargitay have to do with thi-
Adib: I like safety...
Me: I'm literally a Grade A moron.
Idk what he was trying to say tho lol. Does admitting the obvious racism across many police institutions mean you hate law and order? Everyone wants to feel safe, it’s literally the reason black ppl are fearful and angry with police. Because we don’t feel safe and the enforcers of “law and order”, do not obey their own rules
@@Ray03595 there have been recent movements to abolish the police I.e. reduce funding, reduce traffic stops, and in general police these neighborhoods less. The impact of this is called the “Ferguson effect”… look it up when you get a chance. The side effect of less policing and funding is that crime actually grows and the victims are predominantly people of color. This is what I was kind of talking about.
@@adibk okay but that wasn’t the question on the vid. Maybe they edited a section out but you go straight to defending law and order when the reality is very little ppl are against law and order. An abolish police “movement” fizzled out within what, months? Because nobody really supports it including the minorities who live in these communities. More attention was given to it than necessary. And yes there have been movements to police some of the neighborhoods less and have the funding go more towards education as an alternative. Idk if that’s the solution. But it still sounds like a discussion worth having. I just don’t see how the original question asked in the video immediately leads to a defense of polices existence being necessary. The amount of ppl who want no police at all is so so minimal and has had no impact on the country and when the question has been asked in Minnesota it was an overwhelming no.
I disagree with the concept that just because you're part of a minority in a country, you can't be racist. Whether racism is systematic or not, it's different, everyone can be racist.
I'm Hispanic and for a while I lived in a white predominantly country, there I met an indigenous guy, and he used to say horrible things about his community, features, and stereotypes. I told him that was racist and discriminatory and he just said he's part of that community so he's allowed to say all those horrible racist things if he wants 😐
Why do Americans think that some races can't be racist? Genuinely asking.
Because they want a free pass to do whatever the fuck they want
Yee stop generalising, idk why you think these people represent the whole of America
Only black people apparently think this.
Because racist vs prejudice is the difference between the n word and calling white people cracker. The weight is completely different. If the Jewish called the Nazi’s a name it would have no impact due to power differences.
i understand what the three of them meant about the racist question, but their opinions contradicted the question. They were saying "yes, we can be racist, but not to the same degree." Since that was what they were saying, they should have been on the agree side. It wasn't a question about power.
The way no one went to agree when they talked about the homophobia thing is irking me like it’s a well known fact that black peoples are more homophobic even ask any lgbtq member and they’ll tell you
White evangelicals are the worst when it comes to that
Ok everyone doesn't think the same so stop.

The irony of Adib setting the record straight with Kanye’s message about ideological freedom and then revealing that he was experiencing blatant racism from within his own race for having different views is insane
THIS! 💯
Weird how most of them said black people can't be racist
Tbh I think it's time for permanent differentiation between the two things racism refers to. There's "systemic racism" for segregating laws and the like and there's "racial bigotry" looking at another person and assuming the worst based on your profile of "those people".
Yeah, it's hard for people to understand the way racism has been used "informally" and the systematic difference (and the fact that these are two different things)
so systematic racism and racism
@@Zoe-tg4dl Yeah, absolutely. But after seeing the "what are we actually talking about" argument a million times over, isn't it just a time-waster to use "racism" for the interpersonal thing? Someone's going to conflate it with "systemic racism" immediately, so why not start off with two terms that cannot include each other?
jauxro why make it more complicated. you’ve already got two words for it, systematic racism and racism. one is on a much larger scale than the other but they both have the ability to lead to each other. if people can’t understand the difference between systematic racism and racism idk how you’re gonna get them to understand two new definitions of the same thing. this is a very USA-centric issue, so no longer using the word ‘racism’ to describe racism that isn’t systematic is going to further exclude the US from the rest of the world and will likely continue to add to the issue rather than address it, at-least in this day and age. there will always be people who misinterpret someone talking about racism as systematic racism and vice versa, so THAT needs to actually be addressed rather than making up new words with the same inherent meaning as the ones previous. i don’t think there’s any point in making up new words to describe words you’ve already got, seems like a bigger time waster than actually just addressing the issue in the first place
peopel already know theres more than one type of racism. theyre just making it difficult and being pedantic cuz they cant admit theyre wrong about system. anyone can be racist ffs
I love Adib's take: "So what your basically saying is: in order to be racist, you can only be white in the U.S." Dang kinda ironic that you're prejudging people on their race
I love how white people want to be anti-racist only when it's to dunk on Black people. The only ironic thing here is your lack of selfawareness, Bellend.
Thank you Abid... Yes of course black people can be racist! Every type of person could be racist
It makes me feel so gross and ashamed at the way my community brushes aside the racism we are capable of AND have shown to others in the past.
I’m tired of this “Can black peoples be racist” question because all it produces are the same illogical and stubborn talking points we have adopted. And whenever Adib brought challenging counterpoints, the others just ignored them and repeated the same thing over and over again.
You’d think after the Asian hate crimes at the start of the pandemic that people would put aside their righteous victim mentality and see the pain our community has caused to other groups, but alas…
8:00 Reparations needs to be used in a pratical manner of improving society and urbans areas without doing that you are still allowing for systemic racism.
The key isn't throwing money at people it never works. The key is solving key issues in education, employment, and urban areas.
How do you improve society and urban areas? Most people see that as gentrification. And then that would still require money to be handed out. Right? Or no?
The biggest fix for a community is actual economic freedom and mobility which is money my dude
Why do so many Americans not understand that “systemic racism” and “racism” have two different definitions. Anybody CAN be racist by the very definition of the word itself.
Yep! Black people can be racist. Black people can even be racist to other blacks! I know some African blacks, Caribbean blacks, and Afro Latinos who HATE black Americans but yall arent ready to get into THAT topic!
@@ifyouwantoreplyjustclickth5063 This! There is a massive amount of racism towards different people of the same skin color all over the world. In the EU you can see so much racism toward other white people/cultural backgrounds/nationalities that it's insane.

When it comes to the argument of who can be racist, I really wish there was a different word- because people misunderstand and think we mean black people can't be prejudiced.
Can we be racist against someone? Yes, racial bias is the definition of racism.
Can black people as a whole cause the same impact as white people with our racism?
No. Institutionally, white people have benefitted too broadly for black people to have an INSTITUTIONAL impact. The institution of racism in America itself was built upon by slavers, who were white.
The question of racism in its most basic form pertaining to whether a black INDIVIDUAL can be racist versus racism on a NATIONWIDE perspective is different.
Everyone in America is racist to some extent. But what peoples are actually hurt by this everyday? White people are not, they as a whole are not suffering everyday because someone saw their race. This DOESN'T mean racism against them doesn't exist, but INSTITUTIONAL racism for them does not exist.
I can fire a white person and presumably(if they dont have criminal records, drug issues, etc), they will bounce back much easier than a black person with a clean record. Even without a clean record, in many states a white person is better off.
YES, a black person can be racist and cause emotional damage to another individual. NO, black people as a whole cannot hurt white people as a whole with our racism.
We need more words for stuff like this.
💯💯💯 true
If you take this definition to the extreme you can justify anti-Semitism which is why even ADL changed their definition of racism TWICE once they realized who it can also be applies to (Prejudice against someone based on race -> Prejudice against someone based on race which benefits white hierarchy -> Prejudice against someone based on race) So we've essentially come full circle.
I am utterly perplexed that majority of them actually disagreed that black people can be racist... How come? If you are a human being and are able to speak you are perfectly able to utter racist words toward another. Their explanations of why they disagree almost feel like saying "I can mistreat you based on you beeing of different race than my own but you cannoct call me out on it because I'm black, and black people may be 'prejudiced' but not racist".
I agree, it doesn't make any sense. There's asian hate in America during covid times for Pete's sake😖
i think ppl aren’t understanding what it means to be racist, black ppl, or any group, in any country can be racist towards themselves and others. let me explain: it’s one thing to be racist and not be able to negatively affect someone bc of that racism, BUT it is in fact still racism. im hispanic and i know some hispanics who r racist towards other hispanics, even if they aren’t in a position of power and r going to fire them because of it, they can still be racist
I think there is a confusion in the racism question, I think most of them interpret racism as systemic racism, which are two different things although related. Black people arent and cant be systematically racist but they can be racist in their beliefs or towards individuals, etc. Same goes for other minorities
thats just being prejudice though, not racist.

It is mainstream in modern society to combine the definitions of "racism" & "systemic racism". The word racism has nothing at all to do with power or ability to harm. Racism is having prejudice against someone/group of people based on their race. Absolutely everybody can be racist.

Adib's opinions were extremely out of touch with Black reality. You nodding along to him the whole video is exactly why she said that, as she should.
Did bro just compare Kanye to the grand wizard? wtf
White people and dreads is not cultural appropriation. Coming from a black person.
A lot of these comments are implying that just because multiple people have similar/same opinions that the opposing one (typically Adib) is somehow better???
