I too am waiting this definition they are referencing.  If I were to entertain the "power dynamic" argument which is nowhere in any credible definition I can find of racism - I'd refer you to the race of the President of the United States (who is the Commander in Chief of the United States Military) as well as the race of the woman in charge the entire United States Justice Department.  What group is it that's in power?  What group is in power in Baltimore?

All that aside, the power dynamic argument (not a definition) is weak and can certainly be seen as a racist argument in and of itself.  It is an argument that was created to excuse bad behavior.  Racism "by definition" can absolutely run many different ways.[/quote]

Good grief. 500 years of structuring North American society to take power away from non-European-heritage people is irrelevant, because the US president and US Attorney General are both black. Yay!

If only.

But yes, racism by definition can run in many different ways, depending on who has the power in a society and who doesn't. Which society are you talking about? [/quote]
