Racism has two components; a mere belief and a system used to execute the belief and oppress others. Therefore, Black people can't be racists because they don't own the institutions.

False. The dictionary exists for a reason. The belief is the entirety.

Your tweet, Nora, is pushing a painfully distorted, ideologically loaded redefinition of racism. Racism is judging or treating people differently based on the color of their skin or ancestry. Full stop. Redefining the word to protect certain groups from the label while applying it aggressively to others is not truth-seeking… it is narrative management. It muddies clear moral and legal standards (civil rights law prohibits racial discrimination by anyone, regardless of the discriminator’s race) and makes honest conversation nearly impossible.

Bullshit. Anyone can be racist on an individual level. The seik mfer who stabbed the white kid in the UK was racist against whites. In that situation, the power wasn’t in the institutions. The power of that racism was in the person who brought the knife and did the stabbing.

Yea I've heard that excuse before. It takes some high level rationalizations to look at a simple question of hate, and turn it into some sort of intellectual exercise. Pilpul at it's finest.

No matter how u explain it...white ppl will ALWAYS try to say...the ppl that were slaves are racist... We haven't done ANYTHING to these ppl...but somehow we are the racist ones... These ppl are mentally off and I just believe its safer for me not to interact wit them 🤷🏿‍♂️

Racism DOES NOT have the “two components” she speaks of. This is a classic example of re-defining a word so you can declare victory in a debate. Racism: A belief that race is a fundamental determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race

If I deny you a bank loan,deny you from buying a home in a particular neighborhood,deny you medical treatment,refuse to hire you based on the color of your skin-these are all examples of racism.

Saying a specific race can’t be racist is fucking racist at its core. Black people have both components. Speech is a system to communicate, which with a belief about others can be executed to oppress others. Which you have just done. RACIST

Black people have the right to be racist! What a racist white POS this guy is! Arragontly Ignorant and racist thinking Black people aren’t in positions of authority lol.

Tim Wise makes lots of money from speaking at supposedly racist institutions.

Thats not how anyone uses the word. A racist is someone who hates people that have certain skin colors or ethnicities. Thats it. Anyone can be racist. It’s not a system. No one outside of some gay academic setting is referring to a system when they use that word.

bro weve heard it all its a way of saying yes i admit were wrong but look white people have power and thats Mean why dont i have power that ism is callled Marxi-sm

Think this was a pretty good video / breakdown

This is nonsense People can be racists in groups, schools, etc Stop believing this crap

This is profoundly retarded. Low iq can't comprehend what this guy is actually saying.

No one “owns” the system. Also black people operate within that system so they are also responsible for the system. Your take is leftist indoctrination

Who owns the institutions? It’s not whites.

Race = Racism and Racism = White Supremacy. Black people CANNOT be racists because we are not members of a race, we are just black people. Black people CANNOT practice racism white supremacy. STOP listening to white people tell you how to understand what THEY are doing to you.

you retard. blacks have shitty brains. that's pretty much the root cause of all their problems. shitty brains

😂😂😂😂😂

@guanosfunny whatever

This is powerful 👏🏽👏🏽

Keep listening to the white man since you too dumb and stupid to form your own beliefs. 🤣💯

100%

Mental gymnastics

This has always been a stupid definition.

Is this yt's fault?

Racism is the belief. Discrimination is the action.

Shout out to Baltimore! Special shout out to all my ppl in West Bodymore, Pigtown, and Westport!

So don't plant gardens and let everyone eat the seeds.

Read the damn definition of racist or racism in the dictionary. You don’t have the right to change the meaning of words to suit your personal agenda.

How can ppl clap for that nonsense lol where does that mindset comes from lol it's like he read that in a marxist essay wrote in the 1950s lol
