Wow, that has to be the dumbest definition of racism I've ever heard, and I've had an argument with someone that thinks that if you feed a black person, you can't be racist. No wonder the U.S.A. can't get it's race relations under control. We're too fucking stupid to even fundamentally understand the issue.

I have actually heard something similar to what simplemoss is saying on another site. I don't agree but the people advocating this view have redefined the word racist in a way that most of us don't use.
If I understand correctly, racism-to them- means that one race wants all the power. In the US, white people have most of the power so therefore, minorities can't be racist but they can be prejudiced.
Most people(myself included) define racism to mean that you believe your race is superior to another.

People can't just re-define a complex issue like racism and declare themselves not racist. Concepts aren't defined by simple declaration.
Racism isn't just about beliefs. Our thoughts and actions can also be racist, and we need to recognize that much of the racial tension we feel is our inability to fundamentally understand the issue.

Except for a few black members of the KKK, the people we commonly refer too as uncle Tom. Like Allen west, Herman Cain, or don lemmon
The anger from you crazy crackers, seems too stem from a post where I assumed "losty" was white because she's simply never heard of the black guerilla family. I was of course correct
I'm not angry about you assuming I'm white. I just think you are a moron. I don't think the black guerrilla family is a real thing in prisons in the US. I have a television and I read news papers. Being white doesn't stop me from hearing about things having to do with black people. Just to be sure I hadn't lost my mind I asked my friend Ray. Ray is a black man and a police officer. He's also never heard of the bgf, but then I guess you'll just say he's not black enough to be in the know. Or maybe because he's working for the man he lost his status of being black? Hmm...perhaps he lied because he knows bgf is top super super secret and white people aren't allowed to know...
You are a moron because you're using a made up definition of the word racist and then expecting us to be like ohh I never knew that's what racist meant, I guess you're not racist after all.
Here's a definition of racist:
Noun- a person who believes that a particular race is superior to another.
Adjective- having or showing the belief that a particular race is superior to another.
"we are investigating complaints about racist abuse at the club"

You might think what you will, but I'm not angry about your miscomprehesion of the word racism. I am, however, saddened by your inability to think deeper than your social programming.

I just typed "can black people be racist poll" into google and lots of forums have had this debate, thank fuck no one else is taken in by the shit in that movie.
All the polls basically were landslides with most people voting yes black people can be racist.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.

Black people are people. So they can be everything people can be, the good, the bad and the ugly.
