You'd be surprised.

But racism has an extra element to it, besides prejudice: power. By this (stricter) definition, only people who benefit in any way (regardless of how aware of it they are) from the race-based oppression or disadvantage of others can be racist. If you don’t benefit from your own skin colour, then you can only ever be racially prejudiced, but not racist.

But again, I disagree that everyone is racially prejudiced anyway. Why would you think that? We are not the personification of our governments’ fickle foreign policy positions, and it’s okay to boo all the competition at the Olympics or Eurovision.
Oxford Dictionary-
Racism-prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized


when your definition of racism has racist undertones to it, I have a hard time taking any of your opinions seriously.
Racial prejudice is racism. Just because you come from a minority group doesn't mean you can't marginalize another.

Look, I just can’t believe you’d call Antifa or BLM hate groups. I can take disagreement just fine, but your ideology and argument has become increasingly truculent, disrespectful and overtly political.

Also, would it be too much to ask you to lift your grammar game? It tends to weaken your rhetorical credibility, and you’re no ee cummings.

i'm doing just fine in life thank you.

My intellection is based in reality, the oxford dictionary is a universally recognized source of definitions. Trying to change the definition of racism and get society to follow along with it is insane, pot calling the kettle black i'd say.

And there's nothing wrong with my manners. we just have grossly differing opinions. Mine are based in fact, yours are based in some liberal arts fallacy.

I believed both to be non partisan when I posted, BLM appears to be, however ANTIFA does have political affiliation so I removed that.

regardless, your beliefs on the matter are not universally accepted, and the fight to end racism for you will never stop because you don't have a solid grasp on what racism really is.

I could go on and complain about your writing style as well, it's pretty cringeworthy. But Ad hominem attacks do nothing to further this discussion in a tasteful manner, so best of luck to you

what happened to the people that went to BLM movements with All lives matter signs? No race matters more than the other as well as gender, religion, sexuality or nationality. When we start down a path of saying one does over the other it is literally racism. That’s a slippery slope.

Hey, learned me a new word today!

Back to the original topic, I only have two words for you guys:

Vice Principals

Yeah, it was on hbo, but you can probably stream it somewhere. Goggins was excellent.

I’ve not urinated on anyone yet.

P.s. hilarious yo momma joke on your avatar!! I wouldn’t have expected that kind of humor from someone as intellectually advanced as you.

I’m sorry, I wasn’t talking to you. But hello there. Hope you’re having a good day or night.

Intellectually advanced? Ah yes, you caught me arguing with someone else and trying to sell my argument, which was offensive to you both. So fair enough. It was a bit pompous, I agree. But we are probably fundamentally, and irreconcilably different in our worldviews, so the argument is a waste of energy on all sides! But hey, at least we like silly humour.

Sorry again for not talking to you earlier. I started to read your second-last post... Okay, I just went back to it and read it. I see what you are saying. But again, I think and feel very differently. All lives matter? Of course they do! BLM is not saying white lives don’t matter. It’s not WLDM. They’re just trying to progress civil rights a bit more. But your feelings matter here too. YFMHT.
