I'm going to provide a list, and you tell me which one that black people are guilty of, if you can't, then there is no comparative racism.
1. Chattel slavery for hundreds of years
2. Rape and murder with impunity
3. Segregation
4. Jim Crow
5. Redlining
6. Gerrymandering
I agree that likening examples of individual racism to structural and institutional racism is a bullshit comparison. The entrenched racism that most black Americans additionally encounter on a regular basis makes navigating life uniquely challenging and can be extraordinarily difficult to circumvent. It's impact is far-reaching and it is essentially unavoidable.
That being said, broadbrushing entire ethnic/racial groups as evil, demonic, and/or cockroaches, termites, rats, monkeys or animals of any sort is a deliberate and calculated to attempt to make it easier for folks to dehumanize them. Farrakhan is deeply problematic in that regard.
Yes, he speaks some truth. Any skilled demagogue does.
But fact that these dogshit white supremacists/nationalists actually respect that motherfucker should tell you something. His race may not be that of those who stand to do the worst damage as members of the dominant power structure, but he definitely speaks their language: the politics of hate.
Lol....Ever peeked in on online chats between white and black nationalists?
Sexual tension you could cut with a knife. Those guys practically want to blow each other.
