As a black man, I admit I am bound to suffer from prejudices of my own. I cannot be racist, however, because in the global order I do not belong to the dominant group.

This man obviously has never consulted a dictionary. He suffers from prejudices yet he cannot be a racist. This notion that in order to be racist one must also have power or be a dominant group is just plain old nonsense. It is repeated only to rationalize and excuse their own racism.

This article is so stupid on so many levels it's hard to believe he has any credibility.

Oops, that criticism must be my whitey racist nature coming out.

Right. Racism isn't belonging to a power structure. It isn't being against a government that funds mass-murdering terrorists. It isn't thinking some cultures are more valuable than others.

Racism is the belief that an individual from one race is inherently inferior or superior to an individual from another race solely because of their race.

Actually, this line is directly derived from the Marx Manifesto: it is class-envy that this poor fellow has.

Since his 'prejudices' are against the 'ruling class' it's strictly Marxist.

Glad to hear that he's not a race-bigot.
