[quote]I don't believe black people can be racist. Being racist implies having a certain level of power to hinder the success of those you hate. In the US, blacks don't have this power. Now, I do believe we can be prejudiced. There is a difference. [/quote]

Honey, you need to get a better understanding of the term "racist" because "having a certain level of power to hinder the success of those you hate" is no where in the definition.  What you "think" has no bearing on the actual definition which is 
" The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others."[/quote]

You need to go beyond the definition. Superiority is tied to power. Please educate yourself. [/quote]

A perfect example of the Blacks as Victims mentality. We have a Black president. We have a Black AG. We have Black people running major local governments all over the country. Yet somehow Black people can't ever be racist because they don't have the "power", no matter how much hate they are carrying with them. What rubbish. You are no different than anyone else in this country, regardless of your skin color. If you think that being black somehow absolves you from being racist, then you are in fact the most racist of them all.[/quote]

How does her vocabulary make her racist? She is holding to terminology that some agree with and many don't. Please connect the dots on how that makes her racist?

Also, what does a black president have to do with the point you are trying to make?[/quote]

She is saying Black people can't be racist. I am saying that belief is itself racist.[/quote]
