What an idiot. Smh, just cause you're a minority doesn't give you a right too be racist
I agree that certain people think that because they redefine a term, it in fact then becomes that definition. :naughty
However, "true" racism is not measured by power dynamics.
It's meaning when first defined was simply this: "a belief or doctrine
that inherent differences among the various human racial groups determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to dominate others or that a particular racial group is inferior to the others."
There is no need for a power dynamic for someone, or some group to be "racist." All that is needed is the above system of belief.
Now, this belief can permeate a culture such that it becomes institutionalized by law and custom. But even without government support, it can still be expressed systemically by subsystems within that society.
In fact, this is the basis for my arguments regarding "Paternalistic Racism."
Starting shortly after the Civil Rights Act in 1965, it is my belief that certain elements of the Democrat Party sought to twist the situation into a political power game. This, coupled with sincere desires on the part of many Americans to "make things right," led to several "social welfare" actions which created the very issues we see facing America today.
Welfare laws, Housing exceptions and provisions, educational exceptions, etc., all created by many who thought these actions would repair a hundred years of harm in a few decades. Instead they resulted in the "prejudice of low expectations." Black's remained "ghettoized," only now in HUD developments. Black's lost the ideal of family units, because welfare required "need" and if there was a breadwinner available, it was harder to qualify. Then there was the added bonus of additional funds based on the numbers of children.
Schools were not required to hold Black students to the same standards, frequently resulting in many of those students having the lowest reading, writing, math, and other skill levels we see today.
Colleges were required to meet quotas, and allow entrance for Black student with significantly lower SAT and other scores used to demonstrate academic capability. Even today we've discussed stories where Black student's can postpone or even be forgiven requirements to test or produce work product...but still get passing grades and degrees with no real understanding of the subject matter.
I could go on and on, but after 50 YEARS of this kind of systemic "paternalistic racism" what is the result? We Black Americans as a class still represent the least socio-economically advanced segment, per capita, of any group in American society.
That is reflected in all this noisy, destructive, anarchic activity we see repeating over the last 20 years.
