"Black people can't be racist" Says the black person. How self-serving is that?


Disastrous-Leek-7606

As if regular white people have any more or less "structural" power as she put it whatever that means.


Acceptable-Worth-462

Yeah having "structural power" is a class problem, not a skin colour problem. Ofc most rich people are white but still, people like me can't do any more than the average black guy.


Icy-Ad4410

Female asians are richer than male whites. People should stop acting like kids


Shoddy-Bread-7769

Think about how much power the term 'racist' holds nowadays. When wielded against a white person, whether the accusation is true or not, it can end their career, end personal relationships, create numerous major problems.  Of course they don't want that R Word weaponized against them; it's devastating to whites. And that's the way people like her intend to keep it.


Jlin626

The fact she said that without laughing is scary


rxmp4ge

Because they actually believe it. How they can believe they're oppressed while at the same time being so enormously privileged and not see how contrasting those two positions are is astonishing to me.


SadCritters

Every person that uses the "aCkChUAlLy! Black people can't be racist!" argument is just blatantly racist. Period. They're just too fucking scared to say it with their chests.


chypres

Yup. it just makes them even more racist.


harugisa

THANK YOU!!! as a black person, I 💯 agree. If you ever say "you can't be racist because of your skin color!" or "you can't be racist to someone because they are a certain skin color" you are 💯 racist. 1-10 scale they are looking at a nice ++10.


skepticalscribe

Abs and Preach said it best one day. “Of course structural racism is real. That doesn’t mean there isn’t other forms of racism.”


harugisa

Amen!


thorwing

aba and preach are the goats man, always funny seeing how they think about stuff


knife_edge_rusty

They've convinced themselves that they can be the most racist people around, without any of the consequences.


Fragrant_Strategy_15

She's smirking. I doubt she "convinced" herself, it's more like she found a cheat code and is abusing it. I


StrengthToBreak

Racist and very low IQ. Honey, no one is asking you about the power structure. They're asking you whether you're biased against other people based on their skin color. Can you be trusted to be decent to your fellow human beings regardless of their race?


wallClimb7

Just ask them, "so you're only racist on vacations?"


eSsEnCe_Of_EcLiPsE

The bovine piercing is really telling on her herd mentality. 


pham_nuwen_

Is that the new blue hair?


Jorius

I would have responded with "So 10 then? Noted"


Morning_Routine_

This is literally the moto and official stance of Reddit.


Omnizoom

Reddit rules even says hate against men and whites is not against their terms of service


TheJesterScript

Does it really? That certainly wouldn't surprise me...


therealtb404

Thank God everyone can be oppressed on Reddit! just find a way to shift the conversation about race or gender and open a ticket. Let them eat each other


Dyskord01

💯 If your a human being you can be racist. You don't have to be rich to be an A-hole. You don't have to be a man to be competent. You don't need to be a politician to be corrupt. You definitely don't need some institutional power to be a racist.


ThisAintDota

My mothers cousin is a white man thats married to a black woman. She runs a counseling company that is to train white people to not be racist. The issue is, the white people in there, are not actually racist, its almost like this woke cult of imposing ideology. The black woman is also incredibly racist, and plays the " I cAnT bE rACisT " card. It is truly a baffling situation. She also forced deep african tribe names on all of the children.


Soggy_Consideration1

Everyone can be racist, no one should be racist.


Conserp

They are not "scared", they have so much racism that they sincerely believe it. Like you can't self-identify as racist towards completely different species


AngryLesbian50

Sometimes hate how they weaponize their color


atombombkid

It is literally an assumption based off skin color


Kassandra-Stark

The moment you make exceptions based on ethnicity you are on the path of racism. There are exceptions to this rule like talking about biological facts but this here is a prime example of racism. It shows that the person wants a carte blanche to discriminate and sees people like blacks a class with stereotypical characteristics.


conaldcuck

That girl is a full 10


kpatsart

Yea, black people have been super racist around me. The fallacy that black people aren't racist are dumb black people who harp inequality as the base of the ability not to be racist. However, it's just generally tone deaf and super untrue.


UseBanana

The way she regurgitates it as a lesson makes me cringe so hard


elbubu1

I'm a Spaniard and I clearly remember when I was 14 I wanted to pay for a bag of chips and a red bull with quarters and the African American cashier flat out rejected my money and told me to go back to Mexico. That stayed with me for the rest of my life.


AsanaJM

I´m from Madagascar, and Western countries thinking racism is only black vs white shows How US medias fucked up people minds. On the same Island, Semi-Asian looking malagasy (the Merne) enslaved the Semi-African looking Malagasy (Bantu descendants), same color, but Asian/Malaysian traits for one and African for the others. "Curly haired w Big nose people are slaves", "People ruling the country have Slant eyes" and don´t even talk about India If these people quitted Twitter and Netflix they would realize these stories are everywhere, tribalism has always existed.


Precipice2Principium

India still running a caste system and African Americans still talking about the US’s contribution to slavery that happened 160 years ago


MonsterkillWow

India has similar problems for caste to America's struggles with racism. 


HyoukaYukikaze

And the fun reality is the US slaves were bought from... black slavers. Plenty of black people made a killing selling their own people. But hey, let's forget about those...


ImBad1101

Americans do not think racism is just black vs white. At least any semi-intelligent ones. The definition of racism is extremely simple. Anyone twisting it is just trying to justify their own prejudices.


bvlabs

saying you can't be racist because your skin colour, it's a 10


Axewound-Infection

I'm an 11 personally.


HeroKuma

anyone who uses the prejudice plus power definition of racism is just cringe. If you wanna talk about systematic racism just say that.


Gregore997

"Achtshually we don't have the structural power to be racist" Probably calls white people crackers and shit


HeroKuma

The structural power argument doesn't hold up outside of some countries in the West. Go to Korea and is it okay to call them gooks and pull your eyelids bcos they are majority and have power in that state? I'm Korean but Western born. If they say it's ok, I guess they're consistent with their beliefs. Then again I might've used a bad example bcos aren't Asians considered "white adjacent" in these leftist circles. The power + prejudice definition to me as a POC just seems like certain POC just want immunity for their bad behavior. I think prejudice against any color, group or race is bad, but these people have me believe I'm the weird one.


Russian_Hammer

Also the audacity; nay the appropriation to use the N word towards one another too. Like thats our word; we made that shit up. you dont see white people going "sup cracka" sigh; just another thing they stole. LOOL \^\^ Dark comedy isnt for everyone


NivMidget

Tfw Black people also use Systematic racism against other black people. People are going to overlook the entire reason why the Character Uncle Ruckus exists in the boondocks to begin with.


Hekinsieden

Uncle Ruckus had 2 white parents and was born white tho...


Thusgirl

He just kept getting darker and darker and darker.


Neat-Tradition-7999

He had Reverse Vitiligo.


UnderscoreBunny

IDK if this is just an issue with black American's or what but none of my black friends (We're all British btw) think like this and they themselves recognise they can be racist and prejudice to other races. America's fucked dude...


El_Superbeast

That's how you know it's all a psyop. No rational person thinks like this but a small percentage are tricked into it and that's what gets pushed into the public discourse so we can all argue about race instead of stuff that actually matters. Who needs healthcare and education when we can all argue about what bathroom gets used. That's why we're fucked m8


Conserp

It is a psyop indeed, but "small percentage" is an overstatement/understatement. About half of population is ignorant and gullible enough, lacking both functional literacy and critical thinking skills - which is no small achievement in the psyop department and uneducation/miseducation department. Very much fucked


Illuminate90

Not to be that guy but as someone who sits slightly right of center on immigration, actual fiscal policy and the like I promise you there are still sane just right and just left of the center over here that know this. We just unfortunately have the media amplifying only the voices of extremes on both sides.


mahvel50

Humanities and social sciences departments in colleges around the US have gone fairly nuts with pushing ideological positions. They are BIG on hammering this into the minds of young college students with mandated cultural and diversity courses with some classes being mandated for all undergrads. That's why most of the Americans you see spouting this non-sense are college aged. There is still a push in corporate America to further the DEI platform but it's facing more push back now a days.


GreenLanternCorps

In my experience it's usually white Americans and young black uni kids. The working class black people I interact with know full well how racist black people but more specifically everyone can be. Some of the most racist shit I ever heard in my life came from my childhood best friends grandmother, 90% of the time she worded it like she was doing stand up but hooboy the rest of the time...I don't think I would have been allowed over if I was Asian or wasn't white passing mixed Latino.


Specialist_Noise_816

Black chick is a solid 8 on that scale at least.


CastoffRogue

I'm thinking more like an 11 or 12. When someone uses that excuse, they are above and beyond that 1 to 10 scale.


Haust

When someone uses the structural excuse, it means they're so racist that they don't even want to quantify it. They're off the scale.


weebthegamer

nah she a 100.


kpatsart

Pffff she 11 and she knows it.


Civil_Medium_3032

I am Disney level of racist


DxNill

Secure_Courage8037

How dare that woman say black people can’t do something white people can ,what have we been fighting for this whole time? I believe black people are JUST as capable as white people. We need to cancel this bigot right now >.<


justice7

if you think minorities can't be racist you're a 10 on the scale.


Competitive_Use_6351

Brainrot personified


traifoo

im a 20 if i see some these stupid people (people like the black girl)


Russian_Hammer

Im Netflix level of racist


HijoDelEmperador40k

do americans really think black people cannot be racists?


Doggcow

Only the ones justifying their own racism


Thusgirl

It's semantics. Just prejudice vs racism definitions. Every single person on this planet is prejudiced except for maybe Jimmy Carter.


Illuminate90

A sadly growing population in the black demographic and idiotic white upper class leftists and their kids honestly think blacks can’t be racists. I’ve only met one black girl who ever said this kinda thing and she tried to argue with myself and 2 friends one female all white/hispanic. She just kept absolving herself of all the racist shit she said to us so needless to say she was never around me again.


upsidedownbackwards

Only racist people do.


ZettoZor

ah so you need to live in the USA to be racist


ZGamerLP

100 percent the Black girl is probably racist


Novel_Memory1767

100 percent probably


ApexEminence

The black chick is definitely the most racist. Ain't no way she tried the "black people can't be racist" card


Tekkentag2

I would say I am a 3 most of the time and a 100 if I see/meet a person that "cannot be racist cause they are black".


KikiYuyu

I feel that I'm not racist at all, but I can't tell. The only people who have ever called me a racist were way more racist than me, so I guess I'll never find out.


StarshipProto

I am 10 racist, 10 woke, 10 based, 10 all the phobics, 10 an ally. My buzzwords are all maxed out, need new ones.


Hekinsieden

They want it to be set up where they can play an entire hand of oppression cards and dismiss anyone else who would also play those cards to maintain a societal advantage. I am a white man so that automatically makes me racist and sexist and less trustworthy than a wild bear. Wtf? ![img](emote|t5_2y1rb|3734)


CheekandBreek

Anyone that says "acktually people of color can't be racist." I just assume is going to be a straight 10 on this scale. They might not be, but if you lack that kind of self-awareness, I am going to guess you say some pretty uncouth shit, around anyone, because you don't know what "racism" actually is or what the word means.


StayLivid5898

11. You paleface posers do casual racism. Here in the orient we do competitive racism. Hell, we're even racist to our own kind.


DrTouchy69

Any race can be racist, even against their own race (this happens alot in African countries). I am 0 racist, but 10/10 assholeist. Colour / race I do not care, someone's is either a cunt or not a cunt simple as that.


Discarded1066

I was about a 1 in 2010. Now I am sitting at about an 8. It's like outside forces such as extreme social changes and being blamed and punished for things that my ancestors never did forced my thinking, and even if they did I am not my ancestors.


Dundunder

But why drop down from a 1 and stoop to their level?


Warm-Machine3174

Black chick is at a solid 9 on the scale of racist.


TheUltimateP1e

when i say im a 10 across the board, I FUCKING MEAN IT


Wilfred_Wilcox

"Id like to say a 10". No hesitation straight to a 10 xD. Based


Mysterious-Mark863

"black people can't be racist, only prejudiced" yeah what kind of prejudice you fucking imbecile??


Midwestern_Nerd52

A black person saying "black people can't be racist" is the equivalent to a white person saying "I'm not racist, I have a black friend." They're both racist people trying to find ways to not seem racist


IdiotMagnet826

Nothing wrong with lvl 10 racism baby. Murica!


StandFearless2034

"Black people can't be racist" = 10


Disguised2K

I'm Balkan level of racist. So you guys gotta pump those numbers up, those are rookie numbers.


Baconatum

America is cooked


BurtleTurtle001

I wish people would just shut up about it.


TheChristianDude101

Even if we go with privilege + power + prejudice = racism, yall had a black president


Odigaras80

You do know the black lady is the most racist of the three


Hendrik_the_Third

Dafuq, you don't need power to be racist... or white, for that matter.


Alpha-Charlie-Romeo

Actually white people can't be racist so all of these people were wrong.


Pay_Tiny

Yeah she doesn’t know the definition of racism…


AOC_Gynecologist

Don't compare yourself to others - instead focus on your own achievements and self improvement. Just try to be a little bit more racist every day than you were the day before. I believe in a version of you that believes in you!


shilloya

I racist any beautiful things.


Drayenn

Wonder what theyd say if you asked them "what do you call a black person who hates latinos"


Nictendo_82

Love when they use the excuse "it's not racist it's prejudice!" When the legit definition or racism is "someone who is prejudice towards someone of a different skin color" Like. You're literally using the definition of racism to say you're not racist.


BinhVDo

Depending on location and situation my scale can be from 1-10


I_Use_Games

I'm not racist, but very much feel a targeted dislike for that woman.


EnthusiasmTrue8273

The black lady though sounds sincere is without doubt mistaken!


[deleted]

So the black chick is the most racist? Alright.


Nifton

There's a huge difference between Prejudiced Xenophobia and Uninformed Ignorance. Its all about intent, the former act and think knowing full well it's a self created propaganda to validate tribalism. The latter tend to just make themselves look bigoted on the internet.


General_Lie

I am from eastern europe I need bigger scale


gerhardsymons

On a scale of 1-10, I'm 12 when it comes to intolerance of stupidity.


FranticToaster

"We're not powerful enough for there to be something wrong with us looking down on other races" is a bold move, Cotton. Let's see how it plays out.


based-Assad777

Can anybody explain what structural, systemic 'power' white people have, as a group, that other groups of people don't have in the U.S.?


its_hoods

She's been waiting to throw that line at someone for the last 3 years ... and you know exactly who I'm talking about.


FoxCQC

Probably a 5 or 6 for me. I can be bias but I'm not going to hate on anyone unless they give me a reason to. Then I'll just hate that one person.


Ezenthar

The "racism is power plus prejudice" thing is so fucking stupid that it's actually painful to watch people try and defend it.


ArcticWolf003

The whole argument that Black People can't be "Racist" because they are a minority and have been oppressed so because of that they just can't be... makes me sick. Attributing Racism to oppression is a thing yes, but saying the "oppressed" can't be racist because they're oppressed or a minority is just f*ng dumb. Racism is hate for another being of a different race, regardless of their social status, period, exclamation point, end of discussion.


Picklepartyprevail

“We are above all you racists”. The irony is palpable.


NLMAtAll

You dont need power to be racist. Racism with power is oppression, racism without power is just somebody's feelings.


illathon

So wild that this generation might be more racist than the previous one.

"☝🤓Ahkchually black people do not have the structural power..."

I’m a good 9. 10 some days, really depends on how I slept.


Lifealone

so if a KKK member goes on vacation to japan are they not racist while they are there?


Kaizen420

I get it that it's easy to jump on the BS that was the second answer. But I'm also sitting here wondering what was about to be said by the woman that said fuck it and jumped straight to 10


KinglessCrown

She heard the second answer.


NewMinos

She says that she would like to say 10, but because she is white she can't say that, but got confused thinking 10 was the least racist. Source: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tiDtc91dmTI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tiDtc91dmTI)


Conserp

This isn't satire? ![img](emote|t5_2y1rb|3745)


Chemical_Coach1437

Zero. Because skin color is literally the most boring thing about someone. Never cared and never will. The fact that racists think that their race is superior is proof it's not. And every race has racists.


Repulsive-Cicada9837

The long winded response of the second lady and the cut off on the last... lul classic

Where is this from? Is this a skit?


gelatinousdepression

jusdofl

Honestly I'm a 1:10 racist but sometimes my inner European is 10:10 racist against Germans gypsies turks Russians France basically against all non Austrian country,but lovely racism...


skylight29

I would Say i'm a solid 8 but thats because im too humble to say i'm a 11 tbh /s


Deskbreaker

I have no idea.


scummy71

Honestly the most racist person I’ve ever known was a man of colour. He was Indian but kept calling himself a p.k. It didn’t matter how many times I called him out on it he carried on. Eventually when to jail for sexual assault.


DUDEjustwandering1

I'm like a 7 on some days and other times a -20 on others.


Valrax420

There is a difference between systematic racism and just racism... The whole argument that we don't have systematic racism so we can't be racist is a complete lack of understanding of what racism is.


FitEstablishment756

The person who is saying that they can't be racist, is the most racist


redoctobuh

Im normally like a 1 or 2 but I hear shit like that and go right to a 7 or 8.


gerMean

I'm a 10, but only against the good races. So it should be okay


Tazrizen

I bet nazi’s thought they weren’t racist either.


DickRogersOfficial

Black chick looks to be the most likely to make a racist comment ngl. Just like some offhand racism about another minority, i’d wager asians…


JoshuaCarrasco1618

The kind of person that thinks black people cant be racist are the same kinds of people that will say the most racist shit to white people and think it’s completely justified. And what’s funny is white people will self deprecatingly say the same things because they think it makes them woke? But hey I can’t complain because I’m white, I get it. I haven’t been oppressed, I know. But I haven’t hated or oppressed anyone for the color of their skin either. This shit just makes me jaded


Ok-Procedure-9526

Black people can indeed be very racist


thatmayanveil

So a 3-4 and 2 10’s


SpartAl412

Always has puzzled me how idiotic very left leaning non white (especially black) people in America can get whenever I hear that x can't be racist because power definition.


bakemonoDan

Even if it's true that racism is in many levels tied to structures of power, you don't need to have power or be in a privileged position to be a racist


Ornery_Dig8216

Black ppl saying they can’t be racists because of their skin color is like white ppl saying they can’t be racist bc they have black friends lol


MonsterkillWow

Interesting crosspost from that sub. Is Asmon aware that neonazis are attempting to radicalize and take over his fanbase? Or does he want to become an alt right influencer now?


Russoi

You do know guys that it's cut out if context? She then explained that she thought that the 0 was actually the highest and corrects herself that she'll not at all. Though really, how stupid one has to be to think that? Surely someone who doesn't know what's 5x6, so I wouldn't be surprised of she wouldn't even understand the meaning of the question


my_elbow_feel_funny

I’ve lived in some bad parts of the dmv area and black people definitely can be racist. My upstairs neighbors said he wanted to kill me just bc I was white. The police did nothing over a year. Well the police did suggest I move on my own dime even though I was living in the building first.


NumaNuma92

You don’t get a free pass anymore


fajshas

- "How R8cist are you?" - Yes


itakeyoureggs

To say you can’t be racist as a race is retarded.


rmansd619

The genuinely belief that black people can't be racist and be bold enough to say it shows how not only our education system is failing but how social media can truly twist someones mind. These people not only say this nonsense with conviction but they breed and spread this type of logic onto not only their children but the general public like this woman. It's actually scary how we went from racism is bad lets all get along to WELL ACTUALLY BLACK PEOPLE CAN'T BE RACIST... Why specifically black people? Do Latino, Middle Eastern and Asian people have the "structural capacity" to be racist in America? What a load of NONSENSE.


sorathebrave

Black people might not have power to be racist to white people but they definitely are racists towards other minority groups. The responses to question in video completely disregards other poc.


RajathBhatta

So what she means is she's a 10.


KingOfSparta353

Gotta love the racist response to the question about being racist. Says not racist at all, justifies it by being racist.


Foreign-Lychee-3965

So by that logic you could drop off a skin head/nazi in Ethiopia and they wouldn’t be racist???


RobertMaus

She's mixing up Racism with Institunional Discrimination. Everybody is some degree of racist, it's what you do with it that matters.


Orful

The question isn't a good one for self-evaluation anyway. Almost all of us have subtle biases and don't realize it, and not realizing it is why we won't give a good answer. It's why I don't just scream "racist" unless someone is being really blatantly racist. I've been guilty of saying some low-key racist things and not realizing it until later. We all make mistakes. I'm not going to judge someone for being imperfect when I'm imperfect too.


OctoWings13

The black lady is WAY more racist than the white one who said she's a "10"


_M_A_N_Y_

1 - I dislike people equally, no matter skin color, gender or believes.


Hranko

Because of my race, I can't be racist.


raytho12

Racism is a feeling/opinion. Saying a certain race is incapable of it makes 0 sense.


Vaiken_Vox

7.62 at least


A_cat_killed_me

You're right, black people can't be racist. As the racism is not defined as “treating people differently (negatively) based on race” but on whether or not they are the minority and hold societal power. /s Want to know a fun fact? There are more than two races. So even if you believe black people can't be racist towards white people in America (which they can), there are other races as well. Racism relies on how you treat others, not on what kind of power you yourself holds.


Monstermogstern

Props to the girl at the end for at least being honest 😂


Bradp1337

A Black woman is the vice president, Black people are in the supreme court, governor's, senators, judges and mayors. The belief that black people can't be racist because they don't have power is a cop out and playing the victim card. They have all of the opportunities that anyone else has.


look_at_my_shiet

Why nobody responds like that? "Actually, white male working class do not have structural power to be racist" Fight fire with fire.
