    I think this a great example of black privilege. How a person can get away being openly racist and because of their own skin colour it's deemed ok.

    I am African-American. I don't have the power to be racist.

    lol. OK then. Guess you think Louis Farrakhan is not a racist? Shall I share some of his gems? We can start with him calling Jews "termites".

    I think prejudice against Jews would be anti semitism and not racism .

    As it's a religion and not a race.

    He has some more clearly racist comments aimed at whites too. Wondering if Moriah will deny Farrakhan is racist?

    Just as I thought, you wont call him the racist he is. One of Obama's chums. Of course he has power and influence, have you heard of him before?

    It's sad you can see blatant racism and deny it and make excuses for it. Another gem (and yes, he absolutely said this) 748240054-louis-farrakhan-louis-farrakhan-the-jews-dont-like-farrakhan-so-they.jpg

    For your information, I am not a fan of Farrakhan, I am not a Muslim and I could care less what he says.

    But you wont call him a racist. He says things like "whites are potential humans if they would evolve".

    Why is it important for me to call Farrakhan a racist? Do you call out White racists?

    Yes. I hate the term "reverse racism". It automatically implies that racism only works in one direction by and toward specific races.

    Yes, yes I do. I also realize racism can come from any group and be aimed at any group. I know racism when I see it and will call it out.

    That's what the left does.

    Nothing they do is objective.

    Definitions themselves must conform to how they feel at the moment.

    The foundation of the US is the Constitution, which is demonstrably not racist and the tool used to invalidate slavery as a concept in our country.

    That's why, again, the only places/countries that have eradicated slavery in the world are all white people who originated from Europe.

    Then how can Republicans have anything to do with the "systemic racism" in LA, Chicago, Baltimore, and Minneapolis.

    You can't be against racism if you're a racist yourself. It's as if these people who say this are simply part of a hate group. I believe it's a racist movement.

    I stand for true equality where everyone is treated as equal and skin colour is NEVER used against anyone.

    I LOL'd at this.

    If you'd like I can introduce you to the Farrakhan wing of Congress.

    This is about has racist a statement I've heard.. of course blacks are racist, they teach kids that being a good student is "acting white" they teach their kids that ALL whites are racist, they teach their kids that white cops want to kill them, they seem tio think that if they are called out for bad behavior or petty crime that it is racist, There are many black nieghborhoods I dare not walk thru,, but white people know that, Blacks perpetuate 10 times the "hate" crime of whites.. Don't tell me Blacks can't be racist.. Your do nothing race hustler leaders might sell that and you might buy it, but I ain't buying it. I know the subtleties of prejudice.. I am a 3% to 5% minority where I live.. I deal with it because after 30 years of living here, most people know me.. well. I do not give anyone the power to put me in a box!

    I see a picture of Farrakhan with Obama (if it's not photoshopped). Farrakhan did NOT I repeat did NOT have any economic or political power in the USA.
    He has power within his religious sect, the Black Muslims.

    Please read the OP. What is you opinion on wealthy Whites manipulating poor and middle class Whites to vote against their own best interest? Have you seen this happen?

    One of the most well known examples of wealthy Whites manipulating poor and middle class was during the Civil War.
    Wealthy Southern slaveowners convinced poor Whites, who didn't own slaves, to go fight a war for them. The poor folks fought and died for the Confederacy so the wealthy folks could keep their slaves and their comfortable lifestyles.
    What the poor Whites in the South didn't understand was that economically slavery hurt them, too. The system of slavery helped keep wages down for the poor, working class Whites.
    This is just one example of the wealthy using the poor and middle class against their own best interest.
