You can be a racist without being white

A few weeks ago there was a post about how “you can be racist if you’re not black” and it made me think about how we can be racist in every way except for systemic racism<br><br>We as black people can be racist to every race. We can make fun of white people and get away with it since we have historically been oppressed for who we are. We have black twitter where we make fun of white people and have the audios <br><br>and we have been saying the n word for years now and it’s just a normal part of our vocabulary. We call each other “my nigga” “my n word” “my n---er” we clearly have no problem with the word and don’t see it as a problem(I don’t)<br><br>We can be racist to Hispanics and for example when there was the incident in Miami between the black guys and the Hispanic store owner. The black guys were saying that they were going to rob the store because they were black and felt like they could do it<br><br>We can be racist to non-black people of color too. We can be racist to Asians because even though they are people of color, they are still not black. We can be racist to South Asians, Arabs, and other groups because even though they are not white, they are still not black<br><br>We can be racist to Native Americans and some have even tried to have Native Americans assimilate into blackness. There are some Native American tribes that are predominantly black but for the most part, Native Americans are not black<br><br>We can be racist to Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders who have a totally different culture and way of life. There are some Pacific Islanders that have tried to have their children play basketball like black people and have even had them assimilate into blackness<br><br>We can be racist to biracials especially half blacks and other races. Those people may not be considered black at all and are not considered white. They may have white privilege and therefore they are not black<br><br>We have also been talking about the incident between the black woman and the white woman and how the white woman is now facing backlash. How people are saying that the white woman is racist and the black woman is not racist. How people are saying that the white woman deserves to be punished and lose her job. But what if it was the other way around. What if it was a black guy and a white woman. And the black guy was being racist and the white woman was just defending herself? And people would still be saying that the black guy is not racist and the white woman is racist even though the black guy is the one who was being racist. <br><br>I know this might have sounded very controversial and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with black people being racist. But I think that black people can be racist in any way possible and other races are too.
