I thought black people couldn't be racist

I've had a lot of racist comments from black people... Don't be silly

Black people cant be racist. You are probably white considering you responded with that comment. Racism is exclusive to the white population

I'm unsure why you refuse to accept this. Just to clarify, would I be right in assuming that you think a black person has never said anything racist?

If we were to remove black and white from the situation, and apply your suggestion to brown skinned people in India, do you think that there is no racism there? In Sri Lanka there is a major caste issue where there are clearly documented racially motivated murders.

I think it is incredibly disrespectful to deny the plight of millions of victims of racial abuse from the caste system in some areas of west asia, let alone most countries.

Whilst I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain this to you further, I'll say this: to claim that racism does not exist outside of white populations is to ignore ethnic genocides spanning continents. The Tutsi/Hutu massacres in Rwanda were based entirely on ethnicity, would you deny them that?

>tfw i'm not black
check ur priv pls :hand:

Although it's hilarious the amount of times i've been in an argument with a tumblrette and they've tried to shame me for not knowing what it's like to be a minority. Then when I mention I am a minority they either stop replying (probably to check their own privilege) or call me a self-hater :rofl:

So satisfying when that happens lol

And yes, I am white. I live in Abu Dhabi and have spent the last three years in Saudi Arabia working alongside a very wide range of nationalities and ethnicities, I've seen racism from each of them and experienced it directed towards me, so for you to claim that it is not possible is irrefutably wrong.

I think I should point out that my original post was what some people say when this stuff happens not my actual opinion.

I'm very sorry for misinterpreting the title then.

You are probably a racist who supports the likes of the KKK the way you have demonised black people on this thread

Original post by Omen96

Don't listen to Rotomhead25. He is a racist bigot. He claims black people can be racist, just ignore him. The fact is white people are the racist ones

Just because I've pointed out that black people can be racist as well? If anything, you're being more racist by reducing the impact of racism carried out by black people compared to racism carried out by white people.

I'm really not sure why you're calling me a racist for treating the behaviour of different races equally, unlike a certain someone on this thread:

I've already said how racism against black people is awful - because of course criticising the actions of the KKK would make me a supporter of them :confused:

Original post by rotomhead25

I'm not saying that racism against blacks doesn't matter (it's awful and absolutely does).

Go back to your sociology class, and look at a dictionary while you're at it.
