Anyone individual can be racist because of preset prejudices, but racism is more than individuals thought. It’s an institution developed from a construct meant to create a social hierarchy based on race, which obviously started when the Europeans first enslaved the African based on race. Therefore, the minority as a whole can never oppress the majority as a whole because of the majorities control over the institution.
Saying black people cant be racist because they dont have the power to oppress is like saying women cant be sexist because they don't have the power to abuse
@Superior McCowin black people can be racist and have been racist in the past and even now. If you a white boy and you go to the hood to play ball you will get hate cuz of your color. You are the minority and blacks are the majority hating on you cuz you’re white. That’s Racism. Even in the past in Africa any white people would be hunted and killed because of their skin color. Even if white people invaded first, that doesn’t mean that you attack innocent white civilians because of their skin color.
@Superior McCowin you can still be racist without the ability to oppress, racism is prejudice beliefs applied to a specific race. The ability to oppress comes from the oppressed feelings about the opinions the oppressors have. If i call you a racist word and you dont take offense or feel oppressed, its still racist.
@Superior McCowin you're not explaining why its a myth, and the fact of the matter is racism goes by individual beliefs, no matter how oppressed a group is. If an individual believes a race is inferior that considered racist no matter what race believes it
It's weird when people say "Black people can't be racist, it's prejudice" but to be racist you have to be prejudice, to me it just seems like an excuse. If you have hate towards anybody based off somethin that they can't change about their appearance/ethnicity you can be racist. Add whatever you want before or after it, at the end of the day it falls under racism.
So if i don’t like a big ass mole on someone face i’m racist ?? (btw that was a joke). second. Black ppl can be racist just not to white ppl. and tbh this whole debate is pointless because most of y’all can’t even vote
Women can't rape. They can force sexual advances without your consent but they don't have the power to rape (Its the same thing. Coming from a minority girl myself)

"Being racist towards white people doesnt matter as much" That is literally racism. You are saying that because of someone's race, it doesnt matter when people are racist towards them, which is racist
Facts, at first I thought of it as White Vs Black but its really just Racists vs Anti Racist. Alot of White people on twitter see it as White Vs Black and also Black people. Twitter is just Toxic.
Anti racists can be just as much of a problem as racists., because of the emotional anger that comes with being against racism, similar to the hate a racist might have. Obviously it’s the result of racism, but Anti-racists at the extreme start hating the other group rather than trying to educate and change the racist/prejudiced views. Not defending racism, just saying that anti racism is almost its opposite extreme
It really bothers me when people like to use the systematic and you need to power in order to be racist when in actuality that’s not what the definition says. It’s simple discrimination or prejudice based on race.

Heres how i see it. Stereotyping is literally prejudice just by definition and racism is an umbrella term that prejudice and discrimination fit under. Prejudice is the mental part of racism when we think or say pre assumed things about someone based on race. Discrimination is more of the social racism because its just reducing and restricting someones rights based on skin color. The last part is antagonism which by definition is active hate towards someone so this is the physical racism which includes hate crimes. At the end of the day prejudice leads to discrimination which leads to antagonism which are all fueled by racism just it gets more intense as you go up the line. I also believe that prejudice is something we all have and shouldnt be hate ourselves for bc it isnt until we act on our prejudices via discrimination and antagonism when it becomes harmful to society and others
Yeah but at this point racism is an umbrella term for all those things. When someone stereotypes another person based on their race their interactions with that person will obviously then lead to discrimination due to the preset prejudices they had for that person.
exactly making stereotype jokes isn't racist it might be a little ignorant but people who make stereotypical jokes like my self don't actually think their race is superior to another race and hate that race even if someone says they don't like a person of a different race if they don't hate that race and think their race is superior isn't racist but more ignorant and discriminative
I feel that me being part of gen z and my experience in life so far (I’m 15 and will be a sophomore this upcoming school year) I haven’t met anyone or any particular group my age that is truly racist and has hate and discriminates against another group. I go to a public school in Texas with over 3,000 students of different skin colors and backgrounds and I see mixed friend groups every where I look. And I believe and hope, by the time gen z are grandparents and old that the the new generations socially will not have any racism in them regardless of who they are
There is no power balance on this equation. ANYONE can be rasist, doesn't matter the imbalances or "power" difference. Not a color issue, a human issue. I Hate that people change the definition to fit their narrative. No one, point blank and period, deserves to be judged by their skin color
Racism can be interpersonal or institutional. You can't pull the "I can only be prejudiced" card when prejudice is literally in the main definition of racism.
thank you, everyone in the chat is confused because of what definition they used. if you believes racism happens personally, then racism can be from anyone, but if you're talking about the power imbalance between races, you realize that its extremely hard to be oppressed if you are a white guy, unless you go to ghetto, jail, or a third world country. that is still not comparable to what black people, asian people, or hispanic/latino people face.
people say no because thats not the systematic blah blah blah. but thats the defintion. they have to make a new word for that because that defintion and the classic are so differnt
I grew up in the hood bro and got jumped a few times for being white idk what u call that :/ wasn’t raised knowing people by skin color I was taught everyone is a brother and sister
Bro i get that... growing up white in bad areas you get called “white boy” and like antagonized by everyone in my neighborhood. You get picked on over everyone else because you’re white and nobody else is. Like any differing opinion you have gets invalidated in terms of hip hop, football, basketball, etc. Shit just gets annoying.
@@fiorellidante fax i understand what u sayin now its annoying that it happed to us for years and we where not just jumped,we where killed and sent to jail for just being different they aint even want us to use the same water fountain my guy . Crazy
rac·ism /ˈrāˌsizəm/ Learn to pronounce noun prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized. "a program to combat racism" The literal definition, doesn't include race. Anybody can be racist. Change my mind
muscle head nah i think anyone no matter their race can be racist, it’s just like tai said it’s learned. i’m just saying that the point saying “The literal definition, doesn’t include race.” is wrong that’s all
I dont get why people constantly think racism HAS to be linked to some kind of power status. Racism is just the combination of stereotypes/preconceived notions and the discrimination of people because of those prejudices, no matter of the size of the confrontation (i.e. systematic racism, one-on-one racism). Therefore, saying some people CANT be racist is stupid to me. Sometimes it is the IMPACT of that racism that differentiates because of a difference in power, but even racism without wider consequence is still racism.
you can be racist to white people and dont say "WELL ACTUALLY YOU CREATED IT SO IT'S PREJUDICE!!111!!" It doesnt matter, hating someone for their color is racist
Yes. Im not trying to get robbed when i got to Africa. If you didnt get the joke, i made a racist joke, and this guy said some people use jokes to cover it up, and this joke was trying to cover up that im racist. That is the joke. Elaborate joke, eh?
I hate those people who say I’m racist because I’m white (my mom is sadly one of them) like how tf can I be racist for being born white sure you can bring up privilege but how am I suppose to change what people see me as

Someone is a racist if you have hate towards another group of people just because they look different, have another language, another culture or another believe. So yes, black people can be racist.
It’s proven anyone can be racist, racism doesn’t just happen towards black people. It happens to any other race as well, this isn’t a black vs white, it involves all races as well. It’s like racists vs anti racists. If you know, what I’m trying to say. I’m not saying everyone is a racist, I’m saying every race can be racist. So, with all that gathering up, any race can be racist.
We all have racist tendencies, but if a certain person is prone to showing his racist mind more frequent than the average person, the more that person will be called racist
its simple, the definition of the word doesnt say anything about it only applying to white people. It doesnt matter if its justified or if it happens in our current society because the question being asked is if its theoretically possible for a black person to be racist.
Hella ppl in this stream were saying “it’s just prejudice” but if a white person preassumes that a person is gonna do something illegal because there black is racial stereotyping. So it’s the same for black people to preassume that white people are going to be racist
Bro there aren’t any excuses, shortcuts or corners around being racist, it’s either you’re racist or not, I’m black and I hate when certain folks just assume all whites are racist and just start treating their entire race like shit bcuz the past, just treat others as equals as we’re all the same species
“prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized.” Ayo by this definition lotta the people who fight against racism are racist toward whites (This definition is just the standard google one 6)
11:41 I think (as a white person) that what she’s saying isn’t racist, it’s stereotypical. It’s also true though, white people are born privileged. It doesn’t mean they don’t work hard for what they have (sometimes it does but not usually), it just means that minority’s with the same goals would have to work harder. Love the channel man. Edit: I understand that prejudice is a form of racism, but I feel like in this situation above it is less so.
Literally anyone can be racist 😂 It’s really not even a debate?? I’m white, and I accept that I’m privileged for sure and I understand that my race has done horrible things but that has nothing to do with me and someone shouldn’t dislike me or have a prejudice against me for it. My parents taught me that the best way to use my “white privilege” is to help those that don’t have it and are being judged, harassed, or attacked because they don’t have said privilege. Like if a cop randomly asked my friend to step out of the car and put their hands above their head and not me when we get pulled over then I’m stepping in cause that’s complete bullshit to assume things about someone just because of their race. DO BETTER PEOPLE
That’s like saying Jewish people can’t be racist. Racism is hatred towards a race/ethnicity for no reason but their race/ethnicity. Just cos there was a history of racism against black people does not mean that it’s impossible for one to be racist
Where does it say anything about power or systematic oppression in the definition of racism. If you hate someone because of their race youre racist. SIMPLE
I understand that sometimes people will have unintentional stereotypes about people but it’s good that a lot of these people recognized that it was bad for them to think that way and didn’t like that they did.
In my opinion I think that any race can racist, as the idea of racism is that you believe that your own race is superior to any other race. I think that everyone can make fun of their own race and backgrounds. However, it’s pretty antagonistic to do that to other races or backgrounds that you aren’t familiar with. But that’s just me, feel free to share your opinion
If you hate another race you are racist doesn’t matter who you are. You shouldn’t hate a race, some people say risky jokes about other races without racist intent which I think gets misconstrued.
But yo even though I wish this was a question that wouldn’t have to be asked, I appreciate you bringing up these conversations so everyone can educate themselves and understand everyone else. No matter how you see things there’s always more room for perspective
Yes and no honestly I think no groups will experience what jews and blacks went throught but if you hate someone just because of their skin color it is racist 🤷♂️
Hello Yes lmfao Jews got reperations and went throw Disney lad compared to blacks in history Jews are the most powerful people in the world economically
Laura you Jews went through worse for a 10 year span but overall not as much as black racism because they had the support and financial resources to dig out of their hole fast unlike blacks who have been held back by racist legislation like redlining, aka systematic racism.
there's so many valid viewpoints, i just think there's a difference between racism and systemic racism and i feel like these two got mixed together which made the question more complicated
Racism by definition is judging or having prejudice towards someone or a group of people based off of their skin color. There are racist individuals in every race there always has been and hopefully someday we can all just be normal and civilized.
Someone gonna get offended and be like “UMM WELL ACTUALLY WE NEED DIFFERENT WORDS TO REPRESENT DIFFERENT PEOPLE LIKE I CAN SAY THE N WORD BUT THAT DOESNT MAKE ME RACIST BECAUSE MY MOMS UNCLES BEST FRIEND IS BLACK SO DONTAI NEEDS TO SHUT UP”
I’m so confused about the people who try to separate “prejudice” and “racism” if I hate you because you’re black that’s racist, but people are considering it prejudice when they ain’t someone just because they’re White. If me and my White friends excluded my black friend for being black, that’s considered racist. If my black friends excluded me from a group because I’m white, that’s considered prejudice. There’s no difference other than the roles being switched. Therefore, prejudice would be a form a racism. Even if they were different things, being prejudice should still be looked at as bad as racism is. It should still not be okay.
People are confused about the chick who said I'm racist because I'm white, some whites feel that way because they are constantly told that we are, so we feel that in some way you have to be, because if what your grandparents did. It's ridiculous but is pretty common. Especially in communities where whites are the minority, constantly being told your racist for expressing a simple opinion or saying something about some one who happens to be a different color. Even though the comment itself is unrelated to color at all.
So if a black male and a caucasian male are yelling slurs at an Asian or a Mexican is the white guy the only one being racist? bullshit. It's not about race it's about not giving people of ALL races the respect they deserve.
Okay, so deep down, I’m chill af with every race I got every color friends but when people in game chat go start calling me the hard r and a slave, that shit pisses me off and I might say something racist off, but I’m not justifying being racist.
Ayo the chick saying she “needs to work on that” about white people I would say that’s racists, because if a white person has a prejudice against a black person that would be called racist.
I dont think u can say ur race is immune to being racist because the system is designed against u. That just means the system and institutions are racist and the people who built the system and institutions are racist, but it doesn't automatically make every person of the race that benefits racist. On an individual level, we should all be held accountable, and no race should be excluded just cuz of the color of their skin.
from my quick thought, I thought prejudice was putting a label onto a race or group and racist is discriminating that race. For example, saying "Dang, a lot of black people do drugs" is prejudice because you're saying a majority of black people and not picking out the whole black community but if you said "Dang, black people stink!" is racist because you're discriminating and picking out a whole race for a personal distinction.

Not exactly true, I watch some of his videos but sometimes he will say something that’ll make you think “This is not it” and this is one of those videos because he’s asking his chat for validation and Dontai’s chat is like a bunch of 12-year-olds trying to be funny.

the idea of any race being above racism is assuming superiority, anyone can be racist and there any argument is likely racist
some people dont realize theres a difference between stereotyping and discrimination
Heres how i see it. Stereotyping is literally prejudice just by definition and racism is an umbrella term that prejudice and discrimination fit under. Prejudice is the mental part of racism when we think or say pre assumed things about someone based on race. Discrimination is more of the social racism because its just reducing and restricting someones rights based on skin color. The last part is antagonism which by definition is active hate towards someone so this is the physical racism which includes hate crimes. At the end of the day prejudice leads to discrimination which leads to antagonism which are all fueled by racism just it gets more intense as you go up the line. I also believe that prejudice is something we all have and shouldnt be hate ourselves for bc it isnt until we act on our prejudices via discrimination and antagonism when it becomes harmful to society and others
Yeah but at this point racism is an umbrella term for all those things. When someone stereotypes another person based on their race their interactions with that person will obviously then lead to discrimination due to the preset prejudices they had for that person.
exactly making stereotype jokes isn't racist it might be a little ignorant but people who make stereotypical jokes like my self don't actually think their race is superior to another race and hate that race even if someone says they don't like a person of a different race if they don't hate that race and think their race is superior isn't racist but more ignorant and discriminative
That’s actually so true but at some point they do cross
holy shit, facts.
All I gotta say is that just because your a different race doesn’t mean you CANT be racist
Just because ur a different race doesn’t mean u should be racist
I feel that me being part of gen z and my experience in life so far (I’m 15 and will be a sophomore this upcoming school year) I haven’t met anyone or any particular group my age that is truly racist and has hate and discriminates against another group. I go to a public school in Texas with over 3,000 students of different skin colors and backgrounds and I see mixed friend groups every where I look. And I believe and hope, by the time gen z are grandparents and old that the the new generations socially will not have any racism in them regardless of who they are
Everyone I know from Texas uses the n word more then any other word
@@mellowmut3521 doesnt mean they are racist, if there is no intent
There is no power balance on this equation. ANYONE can be rasist, doesn't matter the imbalances or "power" difference. Not a color issue, a human issue. I Hate that people change the definition to fit their narrative. No one, point blank and period, deserves to be judged by their skin color

Racism can be interpersonal or institutional. You can't pull the "I can only be prejudiced" card when prejudice is literally in the main definition of racism.
@@quota2.0 No one of prominence is saying that tho.
and even so all races can be racist either interpersonally or institutionaly
thank you, everyone in the chat is confused because of what definition they used. if you believes racism happens personally, then racism can be from anyone, but if you're talking about the power imbalance between races, you realize that its extremely hard to be oppressed if you are a white guy, unless you go to ghetto, jail, or a third world country. that is still not comparable to what black people, asian people, or hispanic/latino people face.

Obviously thats racist if it was just off of your appearance
Bro i get that... growing up white in bad areas you get called “white boy” and like antagonized by everyone in my neighborhood. You get picked on over everyone else because you’re white and nobody else is. Like any differing opinion you have gets invalidated in terms of hip hop, football, basketball, etc. Shit just gets annoying.

There’s a difference between racism and systematic racism. Black people can be racist by just hating a race. But they can’t be systematically racist.
Well it depends where you're talking about
Respect to Dontai for this one, you can’t change definitions to fit you’re narrative

I dont get why people constantly think racism HAS to be linked to some kind of power status. Racism is just the combination of stereotypes/preconceived notions and the discrimination of people because of those prejudices, no matter of the size of the confrontation (i.e. systematic racism, one-on-one racism). Therefore, saying some people CANT be racist is stupid to me. Sometimes it is the IMPACT of that racism that differentiates because of a difference in power, but even racism without wider consequence is still racism.
When that lady said Asian people can’t drive I was like
*What did I even do*

wtf is this
Everyone can be racist. We need to stop looking at the group and look at the individuals that are🤷🏻♂️
Someone is a racist if you have hate towards another group of people just because they look different, have another language, another culture or another believe.
So yes, black people can be racist.
It’s proven anyone can be racist, racism doesn’t just happen towards black people. It happens to any other race as well, this isn’t a black vs white, it involves all races as well. It’s like racists vs anti racists. If you know, what I’m trying to say. I’m not saying everyone is a racist, I’m saying every race can be racist. So, with all that gathering up, any race can be racist.
We all have racist tendencies, but if a certain person is prone to showing his racist mind more frequent than the average person, the more that person will be called racist

@@xangelmoonx "yes and no" implies "yes" on certain points and "no" on others
its simple, the definition of the word doesnt say anything about it only applying to white people. It doesnt matter if its justified or if it happens in our current society because the question being asked is if its theoretically possible for a black person to be racist.

Hella ppl in this stream were saying “it’s just prejudice” but if a white person preassumes that a person is gonna do something illegal because there black is racial stereotyping. So it’s the same for black people to preassume that white people are going to be racist
Bro there aren’t any excuses, shortcuts or corners around being racist, it’s either you’re racist or not, I’m black and I hate when certain folks just assume all whites are racist and just start treating their entire race like shit bcuz the past, just treat others as equals as we’re all the same species
“prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized.” Ayo by this definition lotta the people who fight against racism are racist toward whites
(This definition is just the standard google one 6)

11:41 I think (as a white person) that what she’s saying isn’t racist, it’s stereotypical. It’s also true though, white people are born privileged. It doesn’t mean they don’t work hard for what they have (sometimes it does but not usually), it just means that minority’s with the same goals would have to work harder. Love the channel man.
Edit: I understand that prejudice is a form of racism, but I feel like in this situation above it is less so.
I have no thoughts on that question lol.
Literally anyone can be racist 😂 It’s really not even a debate?? I’m white, and I accept that I’m privileged for sure and I understand that my race has done horrible things but that has nothing to do with me and someone shouldn’t dislike me or have a prejudice against me for it. My parents taught me that the best way to use my “white privilege” is to help those that don’t have it and are being judged, harassed, or attacked because they don’t have said privilege. Like if a cop randomly asked my friend to step out of the car and put their hands above their head and not me when we get pulled over then I’m stepping in cause that’s complete bullshit to assume things about someone just because of their race. DO BETTER PEOPLE
That’s like saying Jewish people can’t be racist. Racism is hatred towards a race/ethnicity for no reason but their race/ethnicity. Just cos there was a history of racism against black people does not mean that it’s impossible for one to be racist
13:56 when that One dude just commented "no neck beck" 😂😂Im sleep
Where does it say anything about power or systematic oppression in the definition of racism. If you hate someone because of their race youre racist. SIMPLE
Racism doesn't mean being prejudicial to black people. There is no such thing as reverse racism. Its still racism. Every race can be racist.
I understand that sometimes people will have unintentional stereotypes about people but it’s good that a lot of these people recognized that it was bad for them to think that way and didn’t like that they did.
In my opinion I think that any race can racist, as the idea of racism is that you believe that your own race is superior to any other race.
I think that everyone can make fun of their own race and backgrounds. However, it’s pretty antagonistic to do that to other races or backgrounds that you aren’t familiar with.
But that’s just me, feel free to share your opinion
My man forgot about uncle ruckus
Bruh, why is this even a question? *Yes, we can!*
If you hate another race you are racist doesn’t matter who you are. You shouldn’t hate a race, some people say risky jokes about other races without racist intent which I think gets misconstrued.
But yo even though I wish this was a question that wouldn’t have to be asked, I appreciate you bringing up these conversations so everyone can educate themselves and understand everyone else. No matter how you see things there’s always more room for perspective
Yes and no honestly I think no groups will experience what jews and blacks went throught but if you hate someone just because of their skin color it is racist 🤷♂️
Hello Yes lmfao Jews got reperations and went throw Disney lad compared to blacks in history Jews are the most powerful people in the world economically
Campbell Dynasty IMO jews went through worse but for a shorter time. Black People went through worse but only because it’s been going on for longer
That's such an ignorant pov lmao
Laura you Jews went through worse for a 10 year span but overall not as much as black racism because they had the support and financial resources to dig out of their hole fast unlike blacks who have been held back by racist legislation like redlining, aka systematic racism.
@Joseph Martin Irish weren't as oppressed as blacks. They had legal rights while anyone who was black didnt.
there's so many valid viewpoints, i just think there's a difference between racism and systemic racism and i feel like these two got mixed together which made the question more complicated
Racism by definition is judging or having prejudice towards someone or a group of people based off of their skin color. There are racist individuals in every race there always has been and hopefully someday we can all just be normal and civilized.
Someone gonna get offended and be like “UMM WELL ACTUALLY WE NEED DIFFERENT WORDS TO REPRESENT DIFFERENT PEOPLE LIKE I CAN SAY THE N WORD BUT THAT DOESNT MAKE ME RACIST BECAUSE MY MOMS UNCLES BEST FRIEND IS BLACK SO DONTAI NEEDS TO SHUT UP”

I’m so confused about the people who try to separate “prejudice” and “racism” if I hate you because you’re black that’s racist, but people are considering it prejudice when they ain’t someone just because they’re White. If me and my White friends excluded my black friend for being black, that’s considered racist. If my black friends excluded me from a group because I’m white, that’s considered prejudice. There’s no difference other than the roles being switched. Therefore, prejudice would be a form a racism. Even if they were different things, being prejudice should still be looked at as bad as racism is. It should still not be okay.
White against black, black against white, white against white, or Hispanic against Asian. Doesn’t matter what race is against another, it’s racist

White boy is white boy, you act like it's a slur to identify you by your race, stop trying to paint ppl as villians.
That's not how racism works. Rasisim is when you think your race is better than someone others.
There are people that think they can use any slur against you Scott free but you can say shit to them because everything is racist to them
“no neck beck.” I’m crying😂
People are confused about the chick who said I'm racist because I'm white, some whites feel that way because they are constantly told that we are, so we feel that in some way you have to be, because if what your grandparents did. It's ridiculous but is pretty common. Especially in communities where whites are the minority, constantly being told your racist for expressing a simple opinion or saying something about some one who happens to be a different color. Even though the comment itself is unrelated to color at all.
So if a black male and a caucasian male are yelling slurs at an Asian or a Mexican is the white guy the only one being racist? bullshit. It's not about race it's about not giving people of ALL races the respect they deserve.
Okay, so deep down, I’m chill af with every race I got every color friends but when people in game chat go start calling me the hard r and a slave, that shit pisses me off and I might say something racist off, but I’m not justifying being racist.
Ayo the chick saying she “needs to work on that” about white people I would say that’s racists, because if a white person has a prejudice against a black person that would be called racist.
Anyone who said no to the first question dontai asked, you’re part of the issue
People see that prejudice is in the definition of racism and choose to ignore it
I dont think u can say ur race is immune to being racist because the system is designed against u. That just means the system and institutions are racist and the people who built the system and institutions are racist, but it doesn't automatically make every person of the race that benefits racist. On an individual level, we should all be held accountable, and no race should be excluded just cuz of the color of their skin.
Feel like they are forgetting about other races like Asians and Mexicans etc...
I know I’m late but Mexican not a race
I love the Chappelle mentality in comedy, everybody can get it. That is what comedy should be and why he's so funny.
I don’t care if any other race say the n word long as they not saying it to be racist, I think no race should say the hard R no matter what race u r
from my quick thought, I thought prejudice was putting a label onto a race or group and racist is discriminating that race. For example, saying "Dang, a lot of black people do drugs" is prejudice because you're saying a majority of black people and not picking out the whole black community but if you said "Dang, black people stink!" is racist because you're discriminating and picking out a whole race for a personal distinction.
