The worst is when people say stuff like "oh, [insert minority here] cant be racist!"
Like, no, that's not true at all. I've had people dislike me purely because I am white, and I know that I'm not the only one who this has happened to.
TL;Dr: Unless your "hate" can significantly disadvantage groups through media control, police brutality, housing and job discrimination, and ASSERTS YOUR RACE AS SUPERIOR, then you're just an ignorant bigot!
Two thoughts behind this: One, racism is a tool created by white people to perpetuate the superiority of white people, and as it's their invention, can't be used against them.
Second, racism isn't just about "hating" another group, it's about disadvantaging groups of people because of their skin color.
Racism is not synonymous with prejudice. You can be prejudice and not racist, because the concept of racism is based on political and institutional control and power. Racism is based on the concept of Disenfranchising a group of people based on their race...because you can. That's why. So if white people say they don't like black people, they can continue to perpetrate harmful racist practices ie. Not giving someone a loan because they are black, lynching, giving them longer prison sentences, not accepting them into school, sub-par health care, creating toxic stereotypes about them in media...etc. If black people say they don't like white people......it doesn't imped white people's way of life in anyway....especially as a whole

Racism is the belief that one race is surperior to another
It requires no power, but gives the racist power.
How bout that, I guessed right. btw, I didn't mean I actually love all white people, I simply said I bet it is bad to say it. didn't realize funsubsters were such babies.
Most people don't actually understand racism. If we went by definition white people are most discriminated against. It just doesn't seem that way cause statistically most people are white and don't discriminate each other. Think about it.
I'm starting to wonder if people don't really associate themselves with being "white". If you ask a while person they usually say they are Italian, Irish, etc. There really aren't many "white" jokes either; lots of Polish, Italian, British ones though.
Maybe it doesn't feel racist to hate white people because "white" is more of a category than an actual race.

Both opinions make you a worthless racist!
You hate a race, it makes you a racist.... What a fucking concept.
