It's not even racism, since they all buy into the critical race theory narrative that only white people can be racist.

According to its proponents, CRT claims that racism can only happen when your "race" has institutional power. That's it. That's the only criteria now for racism. Not that you're against another "race" or promoting your own "race," just that the people with your skin color have institutional power, irrespective of whether YOU actually benefit from it.

That's why they claim that all white people are racist - because wealthy whites have this so-called institutional power (1) and why they claim it's "impossible" for non-whites to be racist. Because apparently, you can be the most bigoted, hateful sonofabitch that's ever lived, and as long as your race isn't in charge of things, hey, that's okay! Shine on you crazy diamond! Go hate some more white people for us! It's cool, homes.

So what this all boils down to is that black on white crime is just plain old crime. Black on any-other-race crime is actually white racism, because blacks wouldn't hurt other races if white people weren't oppressing them. (2) And black on black crime? Well, that's none of your business, white boy, because that would be airing dirty laundry. (3)

(1) And then you have Baltimore, which during the Freddie Grey riots had a black mayor, black attorney general, black city council, black chief of police, black Congressional representative, and the arresting officers were majority black. But the incident was still blamed on "white racism," as were the riots, looting, and destruction that followed. Makes you wonder how blacks could have overwhelming institutional power in Baltimore, yet whites still are to blame? Oh, well that's easy: SYSTEMIC RACISM. In other words, even when blacks have institutional power the racism of white people is just so STRONG, it permeates the very fabric of society and forces black people to become white supremacists. No, I'm not making this up; this was the excuse given to justify blaming white supremacy for the Freddie Grey incident.

(2) Again, this is what they're saying to justify all of this, most recently the black-on-Asian violent crime.

(3) Kind of like when pre-disgraced comedian Bill Cosby criticized parents for buying their kids $300 sneakers when what they should've been buying them is Hooked-on-Phonics. Oh, they didn't like that one bit. That was airing dirty laundry, Bill. We don't talk about that in front of the white people.

Isn’t it interesting that the “institutional power” argument doesn’t seem to be a factor in the tidal wave of Black on White farm murders and systematic Black on White government oppression currently underway in South Africa? Coincidentally, “institutional power” apparently has nothing to do with the government sponsored genocidal policy of enslavement, torture, and systematic rape of the Uighur population in China...

@WorldSigh

That's why I brought up the case of Baltimore during the Freddie Gray Riots. Up until that point it had all been about who has institutional power. But clearly that wasn't the case in Baltimore, was it? So now they had to come up with a new excuse to blame racism, and landed on calling the entire system, all of society, racist. So racist that even black institutional power could not overcome it.

The whole thing is a house of cards, the Emperor's New Clothes, in that it only means something when we all agree that it means something. Proponents claim that the U.S is the most racist country in the world, when we know for a FACT that it's one of the least racist. Just as proponents of radical feminism claim that the U.S is one of the most misogynistic countries in the world, when we know for a FACT that it's one of the least oppressive to women. Same thing with the LGBTQ+ community. Same thing with immigrants.

It's all just smoke and mirrors to frame an argument in such a way to create an outcome that the American people do not want and would reject, if only they were honest about their intentions.

I think these leech “victim” groups are targeting western white nations, particularly the US as well as Canada, UK, Sweden, France, etc., due to the the foundational Christian ethos of these nations. Let’s face it, Muslim, Hindu, and Atheist/Communist countries tend to not care in the slightest if they have “wronged” any particular group in the past or the present. It’s difficult to milk that sort of system for any societal guilt money, social justice power, or demographically lopsided political influence
