Right, a black person cannot escape unjust discrimination; they must live with it every day of their life, in every aspect of life. I, however, am never and will never be affected by unjust discrimination in any meaningful way.
"Individual racism" is an individual act of racism (racial bigotry which is supported by the majority power and the system). "Individual racism" =/= bigotry.
to me personally? It will never affect me. Complaining about it, on a personal level, is totally BS. Is bigotry a bad thing in general? Of course. But black racial bigotry has no impact on my life and it never will.
Can you understand that it's different for blacks? They can't ignore it, because it does have meaning. It does affect them; their whole life.
So, if you can grasp that difference, then you will understand the social aspects of racism as compared to racial bigotry.
Since you are rambling uncontrollably and repeating yourself (to no better effect):
So you can ignore racism. That proves nothing.
A black person cannot? That is debatable but they can be impacted by individual racism as well as anything imposed by the state.
Your 'highly educated' limits are showing......
