Did you or did you not say that white people are privileged, and that for this reason it was not possible for other groups to be racist toward white people?
Something like that, yes (though I later clarified what I meant by "racist" in this case).
So how do you go from what I actually said to this:
You are telling white people to accept unequal racist policies because they are oppressors and they have it coming to them, no?
Please help me with the logic here, because I'm struggling to see how this was derived from what I said.
Quote:Why do you keep saying "reverse racism" in quotes, when nobody is using that term but you? There's racism, and it's wrong. Predicating beliefs, comments or actions based on the perceived race of another is wrong.
Yes, it's called prejudice, and it's wrong. If you want to call that "racism" to make you feel better, be my guest. What does this have to do with the argument that white people cannot be victims of [institutional] racism, though?
Quote:Your special pleading to allow some racism as merited and justified, but other racism as institutional and wrong, is pointless. Repeat after me: "Racism is bad." That's all we need to say.
Do black lives matter? Or do all lives matter?

Welcome me back? LOL!
Quote:Until then, I will say that I find you to be quite racist, and unrepentently so, and that it has been quite unpleasant attempting to hold a discourse with you.
As your side likes to say:
Facts don't care about your feelings!
