Can white people experience racism? (Page 2)

Question

I have had people tell me that blacks can't be racist since they are oppressed and that whites can't experience racism because they are privileged. I honestly think that's the dumbest thing I have ever heard of.

WhereAmI · Answer

That's BS. Try walking around downtown Atlanta sometime in your life. Hell I live near Boston and just have to go to the Blue Hills Ave area or anywhere where your in a black neighborhood standing out like a sore thumb.

That is not the dumbest, but a racist thing itself. Of course, white people do experience racism. Just travel to South Africa: there, the government has laws that an incompetent black person has a right of way over a qualified white person when it comes to working in a parastatal company (like the national electricity provider or the national rail companies)

AleDeEurope · Answer

Yes, we can experience racism. And blacks were oppressed, but aren't anymore.

I don't want to answer this... yes, blacks can be rascist, and people who claim they can't are ridiculously retarded.

vonasaurus · Answer

bigotry is not, and has never been, exclusively white.  racists (and other idiots) come in all colours, unfortunately.

Racism works all ways. If a person of another race were to insult a white person with some comment about being white, then they are being racist.

I was walking down the hood and a couple of jacked buff black dudes came up and started saying "look at this whitey" It took me a while to convince them that I was a nigga. Had to call @mistnigqa808

It absolutely is! Ever see a black movie? I mean if a white movie said some of those things it would be the end of the world! The day a black president was elected was the day black people lost that argument!
