          Many scholars in sociology and Black Studies define racism not just as personal prejudice, but as a structural system that requires power to enforce racial bias. This framework argues that for prejudice to function as racism, it must be backed by societal power which leads to real-world consequences and material disadvantages for marginalized groups. From this perspective, a society where institutional power is held by white people, only white people can enact racism.

          Anyone, regardless of race, can hold bigoted or prejudiced views, I do in fact hold prejudiced views of white people as racist.

                    Feel free to try to convince me that hating on a group of people based on the color of their skin isn’t racist. I don’t buy this argument that one group of people can do it to another, but that group can’t do it back.

                    I won’t bother because you’re an idiot

            Prejudice implies it’s an unfair characterization when it’s really not, but that might be the prejudice talking

              White people are invented it and are mostly all already doing it. You have all the power and we have none, You have a child’s understanding of the world.

      It’s hyperbole, but most white people back in the day opposed the civil rights movement
