Racism is propaganda. This isn't about race, it's about respect. Any place "they" can find to divide us, they will. Race, class, sex, you name it. They are not strong enough to conquer us if we are united. The more we disagree with one another over petty things like race and pronouns, the more power we give away.

To some fact, if you hate another human being for the stereotypes of their nationality then it can be called "racist" but disliking a person because their character is bad isn't racist.

We need to accept that hurting someone’s feelings which constitutes the most common accusations of racism depends on how sensitive is the person complaining. Films like Gone With The Wind that have been banned or as we say cancelled may be hurtful to overly sensitive people. It will be impossible to ban or restrict films, books or words based on perhaps someone could be offended. Racism in truth is physical or financial harm inflected with malice.

No I do not think so in where I live people have met are so nice in the United Kingdom. Its basically all about treating people respectfully equally and fairly.

I have no power and no authority but I feel free to be as racist, or not, as I want, in the privacy of my own home. With the end of the "sticks and stones" concept and words can indeed hurt you, well, I had better watch what I say. Or it will hurt me.

Obvious example of 'Power' is classical Arts: paintings, music (Mozart, Beethoven, etc...), literature (Shakespeare, Goethe...). All the subjects represented in that particular branch of the Arts, that is European Arts, are white people. Thus angels are blond, women and men are white skinned, and there is no diversity. Since there is less representational Arts (as in with the science of perspectives, or advanced theory of music) in other cultures, almost inevitably there is a prejudice felt by all, not just Whites, for that specifically White Arts, and in particular white human beings. Does that represent real Power, and can everyone eventually get away from this self prejudice and feel OK with the particular way they look and act? That is up to the individual, to rise above that self inflicted racism.

God creator of Life used evolution to design races and species for the essential requirement of DIFFERENCE for the best odds for the survival of life itself in a chaotic environment subject to sudden catastrophe ... evolution is racist ...God of Life is RACIST ... follow God and not the demon of eternal death

Any colour can be racist against a person or people of the same colour.

Just wanted to point out that globally speaking, whites are the minority. Since we live in a global society now, where are the groups fighting for the rights of whites?

I'll answer my own question: They are hiding, in fear of being exposed, cancelled, unemployed, targeted, boycotted, ostracized, even rendered homeless for having the gall to express their opinions.

the God that Created Life on universes seems to have used evolution to design species and races in its creation for the essential reason of maintaining difference for the best odds for the survival of life itself in catastrophe prone chaotic surface environments ... the methods the Creator used are becoming slightly comprehensible in scientific research, basic and primitive and only best guess opinion as it may be yet ... but we advance if we follow the levels of repetitive patterns and learn to avoid the limiting feedback control loops ... slowly some of us find the way to ascend ... Obey and follow the Creator's design ... keep all you own for only your own ... learn to be the best and fight or die to advance to the future

The question itself "Can only white people be racist?" presumes there is such a thing as a "white person," which is a racist presumption.

I assert that you will identify a cultural type as "black" or "white," pretty much independently of their hue of skin tone. If true, it makes the question itself invalid.

Only the gullible or simply uninformed will let racism be thought of in terms of "critical-race-theory." Such thinking is not critical because it does not examine itself; it's not theoretic because theory directly implies the need for proof and objective verification; it's not about race except as an object manipulated by "societal power." But this re-definition allows racist behavior to be acceptable, political enemies to be smeared, and low information voters to be swayed. It is a tool of propaganda and political control.
We should also note that the only power it does not object to is the power its proponents seek--a very convenient rhetorical property for totalitarians to own. To be explicit, racism is a set of behaviors not an intellectual construct. Critical Race Theory is based on a lie, and is unworkable and damaging.

Race me. i'll win!

White have the institutional power
Black is the main power.
Two wrongs don't make a Right.

I don't think racism is only a trait of the people of European/Caucasian aspect. In fact, white people, to called them in that way, are quite neutral in that aspect now.

Let me give a couple of examples of flagrant racism in the black communities.

White and Asian men and women usually can date outside of their communities without much backslash from their communities. Conversely, it is globally accepted in the black communities that is natural to ostracize black men dating women of European or Asian ancestry. Usually black women cannot even do that without being expelled out of their families. This for me is not only an accepted form of racism, but promotion of racism as a cultural trait.

Another symptom of the same racism becomes manifest when one realize that, unlike at USA, people in UK speaks with the accent of their social economic group and not of their race, if that exist at all. The very idea that black communities have a parallel culture and language, independent of the rest of the USA, spells a form of racism disguised as self-isolation.

Racism can only originate in the mind. What is racism? It's any individual acting on the premise of race alone, however that term is defined by that individual.

I think my dog is racist.

He is an Australian Labradoodle. When I take him to the park, he invariably wags his tail whenever he sees a Labrador or a poodle of some description. If he sees a dog like him, his happiness is complete. He plays with them and he looks very happy.

He still plays with other dogs though. When he sees a German Shepherd, he tends to bark and avoid them. Sometimes he has played with a young German Shepherd, but that is the exception rather than the rule. He does not like Scottish Terriers either. It may be because they bark at him.

I think power plays a role. Part of the reason he does not like German Shepherds, is that one of them attacked another dog he was friends with, and his owner had to take him to the vet. With Scottish Terriers, they tend to be smaller than him, but they bark at him. It may be because they are scared, or just bad tempered.

I have just booked him for that course that Coca Cola does for employees.

That’s the wrong question can black people be racist?

A ridiculous supposition. I am white and have traveled extensively, and live in "multicultural" Australia. I have experienced racism towards myself from Asian, Arabic, Aboriginal and African-cultural groups in my own home country, in addition to experiencing racism towards myself and my partner while traveling in India.

Merit is the way to go. A person's ability, their demeanor, their intelligence, their intent, the way they connect. Lets try an experiment. Hide a person's skin colour and interview them based on their ability to communicate effectively, their intelligence etc. Take skin colour out of the picture entirely. Then no argument can be made about racism.

Racism is one form of bullshit that is used to control. Find any group and you will find bias toward other groups. I will defend my family before I help others.
As for the rest some people are worth knowing and some not.

I am a former New Yorker living in the South I can tell you with real world experience ANY human can be a bigot or a racist POS. Bigotry and racism seems to be more prevalent in the local Black and Mexican communities. This is just my own experience.

This would lead me to ask; what about those "People of Color" who attain high institutional power? If they hold the same anti-racist position they held when they did not hold a position of power, does this now flip anti-racism into racism? Or is it that only Whites can be racist? If so, that would imply that racism is attributable to only one racial group, and isn't the attribution of prejudice against a specific race racism? While two things can be true at the same time, two things that are the antithesis of each other cannot be true without extreme contradiction causing chaos.

The real modern but covert definition of raycism, used the wokest SJWs, is 'prefering your own kind'. And as everyone in fact prefers their own type and birds of a feather flock together, so everyone is rayciss. Of course only the finger-pointing irrationality of the wokest virtue-signaller is used to accuse everyone not like them, who does not pretend to have 'best friend' of a different ethnicity - it is a bash everyone stick, it is an argument of infinite power, but only the mentally and morally weak need to use it to tyrannise the sensible and strong normal people.

I’m reality, biases are characteristic of all humans. In the fantasy world of woke-progressive thinking, however, whites, especially American whites, are the only group deserving of condemnation.

Robin DiAngelo is getting rich saying all whites are racists, even if most of them lack the self-awareness to realize it. DiAngelo and other woke-progressives, hard-pressed to find instances of real racism, have instead “invented” completely new forms of the scourge, like unconscious bias, and structural or institutional racism. Conveniently, all of these are invisible and impossible to disprove. We just have to take their word for it.

The sad truth is that the black community has always been mercilessly exploited, not by some secret army of southern supremacists, but by woke academics like DiAngelo, who traumatize young blacks by feeding them a steady, frightening and false message of helpless victimhood.
