Racism is a difficult discussion to have, especially when people do not have an understanding of what racism is, how it works and who it is perpetuated by. Here are nine truths that we need to accept about racism if we want to have honest conversations.
Can Black People Be Racist?
“There is an element of whites who are nothing but cold, animalistic racists. That element is the one that controls or has strong influence in the power structure. It uses the press skillfully to feed statistics to the public to make it appear that the rate of crime in the Black community, or community of nonwhite people, is at such a high level. It gives the impression or the image that everyone in that community is criminal.”
– Malcolm X, speech at the London School of Economics on Feb. 11, 1965
Black people cannot be racist. We could possibly be prejudice, but the power dynamics of the system of white supremacy proves that Black people do not have the ability to oppress other races. Malcolm teaches that racism uses a system to oppress and hold power over a person based on their race....

Nine pages?
That’s racist!
I’m done with this “conversation” about race until it begins with, “OK you start”.
The President is what again??
Blacks can’t be racists.
That statement itself is racist. By definition.
“Racism and racist” are terms coined by Communists and Anarchists in the early 20th century. ANYONE who uses those terms, in any reference, are Communists or fellow travelers! Simple as that!
“Anti-racism” is a euphemism for anti-white!
I’m just happy with my White Priviledge.
“We could possibly be prejudice...”???
Prejudiced is the word this person was looking for.
Of course, for pointing this out I might get banned from this “conservative” site, just as the God-like Doctor 2 Brains was for pointing out that blacks, er, I mean African-americans, do not do trig as well as whites do.
These folks need to be stuck to a wall.
Thanks for the excerpt. Tells me all I need to know.
“We could possibly be prejudice”
Semi-literate moron.
As was posted on this forum a few days ago: “It won’t heal if you keep picking at it.”
Your incredulity is based on still speaking English. In Newspeak, “racist” has the same denotation as the English “Caucasian” or “white” (as applied to persons), but carries the connotation appropriate to the English word “racist”.
_____ people can’t be racist its always the people with _____ skin that are the problem. They oppress us so...even if they don’t realize it and its hard to see, we will find a way to see it that way. Yeah, I am a _____ skinned person, and I can’t be racist by definition...
“Black people cannot be racist’’. This in itself is a racist statement.
Looks like you have a chip on your shoulder n00b.
Was your last screen name by chance the known and too late zotted troll doctor whatever?
Thank goodness this wasn’t written in cursive.
F**k your PC dogma.
