On a personal level, anyone can be prejudiced.

It takes a system of prejudice to make racism.

Anyone who has to spend time splitting those hairs is probably both.

rac·ism = prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism by an individual, community, or institution against a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized

prej·u·dice = preconceived opinion not based on reason or actual experience.
"prejudice against people from different backgrounds"

brainworm2028.bsky.social•23 days ago

Racism is a form of prejudice. You are thinking of institutional racism. People can also be racist/prejudiced on a personal level as well. In that case, no 'system' is necessary.

It is racist to say African-Americans can't be racist.

grizzo13.bsky.social•23 days ago

so you didn’t read the article??? or perhaps you think experiencing racism wouldn’t be that hard

Black people can't really be racist towards white people because of a power imbalance. Saying they can not be racist in any way, is ridiculous.

eons89.bsky.social•23 days ago

You're talking about prejudice. Not racism.

sifrmoja.xyz•23 days ago

Nope.

eons89.bsky.social•23 days ago

You seem like you got it all figured out. Must be nice to be so confident. I've met a lot of racists who were very confident they weren't racists.

eons89.bsky.social•23 days ago

Oh, okay.

brainworm2028.bsky.social•23 days ago

You sure about that?

I was saying that in regards to America.

Racists never admit they are racist and claiming 'racism doesn't exist anymore' or claiming only certain people can be racist, is just rationalizing racist beliefs. There are many types of racism. It is hardly limited to specific races. https://unitedwaynca.org/blog/levels-of-racism/

Yup @sifrmoja.xyz we see you

sifrmoja.xyz•23 days ago

This you?

talibkweli.bsky.social•23 days ago

You think your racism gets a pass because you got a kid? Nope. You're a terrible example for him too. Being a parent doesn't automatically make you a good person. Don't be dense.

talibkweli.bsky.social•23 days ago

Absolutely.
