    she sent a like, and agrees with the guy that said, everyone can be racist. Which I don't believe personally.
    But thought was funny, so I liked it as well. lol.

    If she thinks that everyone can be racist, then that means she is a racist as well.

    Me, I think it's wrong to judge someone by the color of their skin.

    I've had first generation mexican friends, I've had black friends. I didn't see them for the color of their skin, but "for the content of their character.".

    Everyone is racist, is like democrat voters and their cowardly Politicians apologizing for "White Privilege".

    What about Black Privilege? lol. i mean, if there is white privilege, isn't there black also? or does that only go one way?

    If you believe also, that everyone is a racists, does that mean you admit that you're a racist as well?

    I'm not a racist, nor do I believe that everyone is one.

    so, you're not going to answer my question? are you a racist? You think that everyone is a racist, correct?

    Just own it. It's ok. It's part of your "white democrat privilege".

    I generally don't feed troll gas lighting posts. If you can't understand what a non sequitur straw man gas light is, that on you and it's defined as disingenuous since it was reference to a post of yours.

    I understand that there has been some conversation that black people can’t be racist. There is an article here with an explanation.
    https://www.pambazuka.org/governance/black-people-can’t-be-racist
    Why not discuss that instead of calling each other racist?

    It’s a thread called “Racists” on Political Forum.com. Normal threads here turn into either tit for tat racism or Orangeman bad, so a racist thread is sure to have finger pointing and name calling. Like one side is better then the other. Or one person knows from reading posts on this forum that someone else is racist.
    What we have here, as in all the other racist type threads and posts is a pure unadulterated load of crap. Enter at your own risk. Jesus would be considered a racist on this forum.

    Wait!!!!!!! So you're saying that people actually talk about racism, on a political site, and it goes both ways?
    Like an actual semi-objective debate or something?? how weird is that? lol.

    That's not possible! Everyone knows that only Republicans in America are racists. duh. Geesh! lol

    While I do think that anyone can be a racist, no matter what the color of their skin, I don't agree with other comment in this thread, that everyone is a racist.

    Oh, yes. Africa belongs to Africans. Asia belongs to Asians. The Americas belong to the Indians. Europe belongs to Europeans. Everyone else should go back to their racial origins and stop being racists. There! I finally said it! Now get moving!

    No no no. Wrong!!! Tit for tat dude. Calling a person one ver meet and don’t know the first thing about a racist. That person in turn calls the other person a racist. Never, ever reach any conclusions or significant
    Findings……just insult hurling of the worst kind.

    Uuum what? "Americans belong to the Indians"? lol. Is this like a reverse psychology slave type thing or something?

    I do like one thing though. Not only Americans can be racists. Considering that, blacks sold blacks back then, and America, didn't have the most slaves, when they went to buy them. They were actually further down on the list of slave buyers. That still doesn't make it right. But there were, and still are, a lot of really bad countries out there as far as racism goes. A lot worse than America.

    But since, it's part of the Democrat Politicians agenda in America to divide people threw their Racist Agenda, it will always be a huge issue for them, as long as it can rile up their far left wing Anarchist base, and even their average voter base as well. Since they stand for nothing, it give their base something to talk about.

    that sucks. I personally, think that the liberal Agenda is to divide Americans buy using racism. I'm trying to show some of the Democrats this. How contradictory their politicians are, and how fake the democrat politicians can be, to their own causes.

    bill clinton, saying something to the effect, to a Kennedy, you know, just a couple of years ago, obama would have been serving us our drinks.

    And it's easily not just with one of their activist groups. How many voters, and activists, and actual contributors in politics, have switched over, from the American Democrat Party, to the Republican one, because of all of the first hand hypocrisy that they've seen? alot over the years.

    Blacks have seen racism in the Democrat party and switched over, feminists and gays have seen the hypocrisy and switched over.
    Women have seen Sexism in the Democrat Party threw porn, and human sex trafficking, having women addicted to drugs to keep them skinny. materialism, and runways, telling women if they're not a size 0 with a big fake chest, then they're not pretty. That comes from liberals.

    Then they support mental health groups, when they're the ones that cause most of the mental health in American in general. Making what is cool, and in, and popular. Saying what people should wear, and how people should act in public.
    The most materialistic places in America are liberal ran cities and states. Chicago, New York, California. And a lot of these places are known to be very liberal, and very corrupt, for over 100 years.

    Materialism is the root cause for a lot, if not most things in America. Drugs, money, sex, power, greed, king and a queen, get that money, make that money, mtv, vh1, disney, ABC, NBC, CBS, Baby Daddies, welfare check, drug dealers, popularity contests, and the list goes on and on. depression, anxiety, low-self asteem.

    I think the semantic clarification is a valid point I for one would be happy to work on that basis and change my core statement to "Everyone is implicitly prejudiced, if only subconsciously.". It does have the advantage of reflecting how that tendency can have impacts beyond discrimination on the basis of race alone.

    The problem with that article as a whole is it's limited focus. It is written from the point of view of South Africa. There is an obvious justification there for the to desire acknowledgement and resolution for generations of racism against all non-white people in South Africa, and the colour-based power dynamic was most probably more blatant there than any other modern nation (including the USA).

    The OP question similarly focused on the idea of people of specific political parties in just one country (albeit the only major parties in a large country with lots of racial division). The responses that have got us here (including my own) were primarily about pointing out that racism (or prejudice if we prefer) isn't fundamentally limited to any type of person, certainly not to any political party nor (after it was brought up) any specific racial group.

    While having authority is generally necessary to implement racist actions or policies, "authority" can be wide ranging, contextual and potentially short lived. Dominance in government isn't the be-all and end-all. A manager in a company, a teacher, a police officer, a soldier, a doctor, a bigger group of individuals or just one individual who is physically stronger or better equipped. In any of those scenarios, people in those roles could act with some racist intent (consciously or subconsciously) and clearly people of pretty much any defined group (racial, political, gender, class, religion, orientation...) can be in any of those roles, especially in a world-wide context.

    Physiological projection afflicts about 25% of the population. Pretty sure they voted Trump and yes, your response to my post you originally quoted in this thread was a gas light knee jerk reaction straw man to it, my post, being spot on. It's fits your posts "well".

    yes, the American Democrat Politicians, have been psychologically projecting, that anyone that doesn't agree with them, is a racist. Especially, Republicans, and or Trump voters, and Trump supporters.

    It is a very biased point of view, and they do it, to try and get people angry at each other, and divide Americans, and the Whole World.
