i mean *racism* would involve more of a group so its harder for it apply to white people *in a white country* but then when this argument is used for the word *racist* people need to piss off because hate is hate no matter who does it and where its directed.
Are you saying that the term "White people are shit." can be either racism or not racism depending on the size of the white population?
Also racism doesn't have to involve hate, as shown by the definition in the picture.
By asking if that's what he's saying, do I not imply that he actually didn't say that? I'm asking if I'm interpreting it correctly. Although now that I look at it I typed "racist" instead of "racism". I'll edit it.
im getting at more the difference between one person and group of people... someone saying "white people are shit" is that person being racist. although i think both concepts are better demonstrated by thoughts and actions because words are dumb and fleeting and said in a moment and can reflect ideals that are extremes of what we actually think. plus i did very specifically use the word "harder" instead of "impossible" because typically racism is going to be the lesser power being beheld by the major power, but there are always exceptions. but i think "racism" comes from the larger institution and "racist" is what people as individuals do. so this idea that minorities cannot be racist is silly because of COURSE hate is going to go both ways its absurd to think it isnt and to act like only the party that is part of the majority has hate that can be labeled is stupid. if i notice that billy hates me and i start to hate him because he hates me, is my hate somehow more rational than his?no
Yeah that's about right. Racism is an ideology, racists are people who have that ideology, and racist actions are actions that suggest that the person doing them is racist.
Sooo over the past few weeks I've noticed that there've been quite a few posts on fs about how poc are wrongwrongwrong and white people are rightrightright when it comes to racism. I get that you have opinions on the matter but if you can't understand where the other side is coming from, if you cannot relate because you've never personally experienced it, don't speak about it. Racism is something poc - especially black people - experience daily. Real racism. Try looking at it from the other perspective.
"there've been quite a few posts on fs about how poc are wrongwrongwrong and white people are rightrightright when it comes to racism."
I don't believe you, show me these posts where people think white people are right and black people are wrong.
No garlog, you forget that being white makes them incapable of understanding racism because white people that live in areas where they're a minority don't exist (sarcasm)
