Furthermore, based on this def, can you tell me where Black people as a race has any power to set up a system that would allow them to set up a government, policy or system to impose these beliefs.


a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others.


a policy, system of government, etc., based upon or fostering such a doctrine; discrimination.

That is exactly what has happened in South Africa and Zimbabwe.

We all discriminate. I don't think there is any denying that. all of us has the power to descriminate, but only people in power have the ability to impse their beliefs. Just as an example. You ever heard of redlining? this is white bankds would keep blacks from moving into certain areas. When have you ever known blacks to have the power to do such a thing. Back in the day when Blacks couldn't go into certain parks, pools etc. That's imposing your beliefs as a race based on race. Now does that say all white folks are racist? No, infact, there were many whites that died during the civil right's movement that are left out of history for whatever reason. it took whites to put Barack in office. So the question is not are all white people racist, the question is what race has the power to impose their beliefs on another race. I think people today are better off because people with the old way of thinking are dying off and it's making for a much better place.

No, that was an uprising...pretty much like what you saw in South Central. Those people there are tired of being f'ked over and that is just the end result of a corrupt system. Can you imagine really what it would be like here for White people to out number blacks but Blacks be in control of everything and in all the decision making positions for the last 200 plus years? Sooner or later something is bound to jump off.
I will say this. If Blacks were in control the same as whites have been, I don't see anything that would stop them from doing many of the same things to whites as whites have done to blacks through the years. The question right at this moment though is this. Do Blacks have the power in this country to to do whites what whites have done to blacks. The answer is clearly no. So the question of can Blacks be racist in "this" country? I say no. If they were given the same power would they be? I don't see anything that would lead me to bellieve that Blacks wouldn't be racist. That's why you need diversity.
