    No....evidence....South Africa.....kemet

    Majority black still ran by whites lol....so even when we outnumber them and have more power, we don't use it to oppress the minority ....we actually give the minority power....

    It's not in us to oppress something in OUR environment as a collective...sure there are rogues...but we ain't on it like that

    Interesting. I've been thinking about this as well. But are you saying that this is due to the inherent/essentialist nature of black people or more so due to black culture or history?

    Well I believe those things are almost one in the same, but instead of black culture which I'm assuming you mean African American, I'd say African culture as African American history isnwhat a couple hundred years old(not 2 but maybe 4-600 years) and our history goes back further than that....With that being said I believe it has a lot to do with how we evolved and he environments we evolved in and the environments each civilization was started and maintained in until these people came into contact with each other and then later colonization...and not just European colonialism but colonization in general

    I don't know man
    How would you explain the Americo-Liberians who ruled over ethnic Liberians as a dominant minority for nearly 100 yrs.

    I believe you are separating African Americans and Liberians, I believe we both are African and the same race, so I would not technically classify that as "racism"

    lol What? The South Africans didn't willingly give the minority the power. Whites have the political power in South Africa. Blacks have the manpower, but that doesn't mean much when most of those people are impoverished.

    Didn't say it was "willingly " given, nonetheless it was given to them, I don't think Haitians were rich when they revolted

    Black people can be prejudice they can't be racist. Most people's idea of "black racism" is name calling. Black people don't have the means to systemically act on their prejudice like whites and Asians can.

    No black person has no power? That's absurd.

    Yeah that's exactly what I said...

    You said black people lack the power to be racist, and never qualified it with a quantification. Hence the reply being phrased as a question. Clarify it if I mischaracterized it

    Based on how you worded this question I think you have an idea what I meant.

    You're avoiding clarifying your position. The point is not for me to read your mind and assume but for you to give us some concrete idea of what the nature of the social trend is; so as it pertains to power what do you mean when you say Black Americans do not have it? To what extent?

    Based on how you worded this question I think you have an idea what I meant.

    Prejudice yes...but Racist hell No!!Racism is Action.. Black people dont go around lynching and Harassing white people because of the color of the skin.for 400 years white folks have been doing this BS to black people.The Result from 400 years of genocide is.. Self hatred.When black people stop killing and robbing one another we can finally make white people uncomfortable

    Is it still racism if I think my race isn't at the top of the hierarchy?

    Why do people think they can just redefine a word to escape being called that word?

    You aren't doing racist black people a favor by saving them from being called racist.

    Racism is a social perspective and ideology. Whether you act on your racism or benefit from it is inconsequential to you actually being racist.
