Indraman Posted September 12, 2017 Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 Can a Black person be exempt from "racism"? This BLM representative feels that is the case for herself and anyone else in her position. What do you think? Indy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the definition(s) of racism, the term is more of an indicator of inequality and could generally be applied to whatever situation you are directing the term toward. You can be racist from a position of `I am better than you' and/or `You think that you are better than me'. Both point to the same inequality, but are heard from different vantage points. The `I am better than you' vantage point' usually has an advantage in life which allows for them to overlook the inequalities that are being addressed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. No. No. Black people cannot be racist! I've heard them tell that to me many many times./sarcasm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
