Why do some people call others racist but never observe at their own racism?

Isn’t everyone technically racist in some way?

[RolandCuthbert]

No. Everyone isn't technically racist in some way.

Look at the issues between Russia and Ukraine. Would you make the claim that Russia is being racist against Ukraine, when they not only are the apart of the same make-believe race, they have obvious cultural similarites. The issues with Russia and Ukraine has to do with culture and history.

Race has nothing to do with culture or history. Some fools thought it made sense to claim folks who had different skin colors had different behaviors, beliefs and abilities. And should be grouped that way.

That's totally different than any other ethnic conflict on this planet.

[Asker]

Does everyone make friends with any ethnicity? They truly don’t so that shows that everyone is a little racist

[RolandCuthbert]

Again, that doesn't make any sense.

Scots and Brits are the same make-believe race. They can dislike each other over historical issues.

A racist does not dislike "Black" folks over historical issues. A racist claims that "Black" people are inferior to his race. A racist doesn't even have to be motivated by hatred. Even while they are lynching "Black" folks because they don't consider them to be fully human. Think Jewish Holocaust. The Nazis didn't hate the Jews. They just considered them to be a problem that had to be eliminated.

The Nazis truly considered that Jews were not really human beings.

As the man said. . .

"Our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite idea; its foundations are laid, its corner-stone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery subordination to the superior race is his natural and normal condition."

[Asker]

I have never seen an Asian have Jewish friends does that make them racist?

[RolandCuthbert]

Again, racism is not about your feelings. It isn't about who you like or who you dislike. I am certain William Shockley had many "Black" friends.

He just never considered them equal or being worthy the title. . . Human Being. . . .

You are letting your feelings get in the way.

In case you cannot read his most famous quote;

Nature has color-coded groups of individuals so that statistically reliable predictions of their adaptability to intellectual rewarding and effective lives can easily be made and profitably used by the pragmatic man-in-the street.

They dont perceive it as racism if you are not a minority apprerantly. Their mindset is weird. They can't comprehend the simple concept of "reverse racism". Facts, events, politics, sociology , historic background none of them matters , minorities are always right. Thats how their brains work. I always say , people who claim to oppose racism are always the most racist people you could ever meet. Many right wingers are racist but at least they acknowledge it , leftist are not even aware of how racist they are actually which makes them more dangerous.

As a black person, I always try to think about it through the story of bully and victim. The victim hates the bully but only because the bully treats the victim with zero respect. Whereas the Bully treats the victim less than because they believe the victim is less than. Now I'm not going to try to justify the victim hating the bully because the truth is... you're right. 2 wrongs don't make a right. And perhaps some don't understand that.

The key is to learn to hate the idea of racism and not the racist themselves. When you can hate the idea in the man and not the man himself... You have power to change the world.

The left believes that racism is only targeted at black people and make it okay for them to do racist things against white people. Some just can't tell that they are the ones bring racist because they can only see one side. Just like Antifa thinks they are fighting against fascism when they are the ones behaving as fascists.

[Guy13]

Because they are stupid and one can’t work with that….

[242plusInfinity]

They are just not conscious of it. Humans aren't conscious of many things about themselves.

[Guy13]

Preferences are not racist. People like and dislike. And if you dislike their like it does NOT mean they are racists OR that you are wrong. You people have lost any sense of cogency wrapped up in your animistic feelings run Nature...

[TroyDT]

The claim of "racism" has become little more than an attempt by people who are losing a debate to shut the other person down.

[Waldoe]

I do not "Hate" any one because of their cultural heritage... but I do have problems with assholes of any color

[Anonymous]

Sadly, the people who are racist against white people are so used to get away with it they don't bother taking a look at themself.

[BarryLiverstone]

They believe others are blatantly racist

[OddBeMe]

They can't see their own racism. Its ingrained.
