People who say white people can't experience racism are racist.

white people can never suffer racism at its finest. lemme tell you why, white people have never been oppressed in the past, like ever. white people were never subject ti slavery, white people never had to deal with the horrible effects of segregation and stigma, white people have never been scared of the police and police brutality in america. im not racist at all, but white people don't suffer real racism. stop being so desperate to be oppressed. you're the most dominant race unfortunately so stop complaining lmao. white people will never suffer from racism. period.

If you want to know why people say ,"white people can't experience racism", you have to first understand the difference between racism (and other-ism's) and prejudice.

An ism-, such as racism, has to include systemic (within systems like the government or police force for example) and systematic (widespread, very common) hatred and injustices. These are things that are grown over time and develop in a society, or were ingrained when a society was being built that continually disadvantage populations like POC, women, LGBT+ etc. Think of it as a group hate that isn't necessarily carried out by an individual, but occurs frequently enough in a population that it makes life hard.

Prejudice is an individual, pre-made judgement of people and things. So, when someone, perhaps a POC, says that all white people suck and are racist, they are showing prejudice against a group. The significance of this difference is that them saying you suck doesn't cause you to be targeted by police, doesn't cause you to face cyclical poverty, and doesn't extend to your ability to live in this world like an -ism would cause.

So, POC can be prejudice against white people but they cannot be racist towards you. And white people as a group have yet to experience racism in modern Western societies.

Obvious troll, but I must ask. Was this directed at a specific user who you disagree with?

The current generation of black people haven't been subjected to slavery either. Although their answers endured terrible, terrible things, its not the current generations of black people's right to mistreat the current generation of white people.

Why is it an obvious troll? His point is perfectly coherent and rational. Lots of people on this website have said whites can’t experience racism which is just not true.

Didnt someone else already explain it wonderfully? Individual racism and systematic racism are different. Sitting here and trying to play the Oppression Olympics with 'whos more of the victim' takes away from the actual people who are being shot by cops because of their skin colour in the US. Over in the US, it is systematic.
And I was just wondering after an interesting pm I received a few days ago that matched up to this

The current generation of black people haven't been subjected to slavery either. Although their answers endured terrible, terrible things, its not the current generations of black people's right to mistreat the current generation of white people.

ok fair enough but, history is still relevant to today. the impacts and effect of slavery have never really ended have they? personally i just dont believe white people can be subject to real racism, however i respect your opinion!

They’re both still racism, which is the point. I don’t think the OP was saying that whites suffer systemic racism, the point was that you can be racist towards white people, so the claim that whites can’t experience racism is false. It’s not the oppression Olympics either, that’s just a silly catchphrase used to detract from the actual issue. Saying it’s possible to be racist against whites is clearly not the same as saying whites suffer more.

White people can be discriminated against individually. Not systematically the same way that ethic minorities are. Idk why SOME white people are so desperate to be oppressed. I’m half white English, btw.

It is possible. But saying this just now during what is happening in the US turns it into white people wanting attention because they no longer have it. That is the Opression Olympics, much like what OP was saying.
In this context with what is going on, to say that anyone suffers racism when we are just dealing with one thing shows that some people feel 'left out' of the bandwagon.

Let this sink in,

People who say "you can't oppress the oppressors" are generalising all white people as oppressors. SOME may be oppressors, but not every white person is.

Statements like that are just as bad as saying that all x race are ys , i.e all black people are criminals WHICH IS NOT TRUE . And although I am usually open minded, if you disagree with anything which I've just said , then I would say you are a racist.

y'all want to be oppressed so bad GOD

Maybe that’s the case with some people but it would be silly to generalise. Just because something is going on in the us doesn’t mean we can’t continue to make factual points regarding a thread someone has made that deals with what racism is and who it can be applied to

Look at all these cowards posting as anon.
