Are only white people in the US capable of racism?

What is the point of recognizing the existence of different racism while ignoring the differences in its effects? Maybe the point is to discount those differences even though the harmful effects of racism are the reason racism concerns us.

Does any of that change the answer to the question? nope.

Lol, white people didn't invent racism. That's not something that was "invented" by anyone. Anybody and Anyone can be racist, doesn't matter the skin color.

To me, racism is not what you think or know. It's what you do with it. Refusing to let blacks on a bus is just as disgusting and letting them on it ahead of other races because they are black, aka affirmative action.

On a personal level, racism may be a necessary means to survival. When practiced to achieve this goal, racism - treating one person of a race on the basis of the action of other members - is a positive thing. A Korean store keeper in a mixed part of town who was robbed 10 times, and all 10 times by blacks, will develop a statistical data base that no amount of race shaming will make invalid. As a result, next time when four customers walk in, two white and two black teenagers, he will very likely check where his gun is, and not because of the white kids. In this scenario, his racism is totally justified, and to the extent that he is prepared to defend himself, his racism is good for him and his family. That fact that the two black teenagers may be the nicest kids around does not change things for that shopkeeper if he doesn't know them personally.

What the professional race baiters like Sharpton and Obama want us to accept is that anyone who feels and acts like this fictional store keeper is a bad racist and that all "racists" are bad people even if their "racism" is a tool of self-preservation.
