I agree. I get way with a lot because people go by this sentiment saying we can’t be lol🤷🏾‍♂️

Discriminatory and prejudice** but not racist. It’s just a term thing that people don’t really understand. Racism is a system, just like every other “-ism.” Those at the bottom can’t construct real violence through policy and systemic oppression, but they can definitely inact violence through personal actions.

And also mind you racism is systematic

I appreciate you for whipping out the dictionary on this one. People say everything is racist if they’re non-white and feel offended by something. So annoying…

No matter the skin tone

Racism requires systemic power, hatred of a race without that power is prejudice

So key words here are minority and marginalized

Anyone can be racist or bigoted but why is this happening now?

My issue here is that you’re saying suffering equally. And no circumstance is anyone actually going through the same suffering but also when it comes to the conversation of race, no white people in Black people do not have the same equal suffering. Yes, everyone is dealing with the effects of capitalism, but Black people are dealing with capitalism and racism because it is a system

Why now??

the ppl that argue against this r trying to ignore the fact that they r in fact more racist than ‘white ppl’

It doesn’t matter what word you use for it. Making assumptions based on someone’s skin color and collectively judging people for it is morally repugnant. If anyone says black people are bad or white people are bad that is gross. Collective guilt is also a form of racism too. Look at the actual morality and logic of what’s being said. That’s more important than the words because people play word games to obscure what’s actually going on.

All the racism I’ve experienced at FSU so far has been from black men and women 🫩🫩🫩 (I’m a black woman. No im not light skinned.)

There’s only racism…. And yes blacks can be racist towards whites.

It actually suggesting reading is a valid argument if you actually want explore this topic

It’s to say not everybody needs the same thing not everything is not going to work for the same person which is the issue with equality you giving out the same thing is actually not helping. Like if someone already has two apples and you have no apples, someone gives everyone an apple. You still have one apple, which is less apples than everybody else that’s not equal. Saying oh let’s just give white people and Black people. The same stuff is actually not equality.

And I think the second part of your question is like shouldn’t we just help them and reduce their suffering why wouldn’t you deal with the source of the issue that is causing suffering which would reduce the suffering as whole

I don’t know if anyone will read this but I had some more thoughts. If someone is poor and struggling we should help them regardless of the cause of it. Like maybe a poor black person ancestors were in slavery and that’s why they are poor. And maybe a poor white persons ancestors were exploited in a factory and that’s why they are poor. We should help them both. And we have to look at individuals life and history because everyone is different and many factors contribute.
