I (CeeJay)... can not be racist
Racism is defined as a power structure that allows one group to put a system in place where they use their race to direct discrimination against people of different race based on the belief that their own race is superior. white people are racist, no dought about that. They were born that way. Black people can be, and often are, prejudiced and bigoted. However, there is little evidence that whiteness leads to systemic discrimination since black and white people have children together. Black people are not excused from being prejudice towards other groups. This can include being transphobic, homophobic, xenophobic, and a slew of other discriminatory actions that accuse another group as being less than Black people. Black people have often been accused of being racist by the very people who were racist to them. There is also a big difference between prejudice and racism. Black people can be prejudice but they cannot be racist since they hold little power to enforce discrimination against another group. The idea of you krackers calling me a racist arose from systems of race-based degradation, persecution, and suffering. In all these systems the perpetrating group were white and, with the partial exception of Nazism, the subordinated groups were people of color, those less unfortunate fuckers (American Indians, Africans, Mexicans, Japs/China). So in the original meaning of “racism” the assumption was that it was something that white people felt, believed, and practiced toward people of color.
