Your Opinion: Black People Can't Be Racist Towards White People, just predigest

The other day in Honors English we had the discussion about a time when my teacher was in college and her professor said that black people can't be racist towards whites because white people are the dominant race so therefore blacks can only be predigest towards them. I just want other people opinion.

If one is prejudiced because of the perceived race of someone else, that is racism, no matter how you dance.

@DashDynamic,
That was still incorrect. You should have written 'guys, I meant prejudice! I was half asleep!'.

Not like wiki is the ultimate authority, but looking at a few definitions I don't see where racism has anything to do with being the predominent group....

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racism

I think your English teacher is just playing with words, and putting his own spin on them.

A black person can be racist against any other race, just as any race can be racist against any other.

Prejudice is just that, pre-judgement.

What are your thoughts on this subject dash?

You should have capitalized "Guys".

I honestly don't know what to think. I honestly don't understand it because racism is based upon race while prejudice is based on most topics such as black males, Mexicans, or religion etc. Prejudice isn't just about race

Ageed. Man is man. Language separate groups, culture, religion, countries, etc., but when it comes to emotions regarding different ethnic groups, there is absolutely no difference. Blacks are just as racist as whites. But let's be logical; blacks hate whites not so much for their color (which is what whites dislike about blacks) but simply put, because of the way the white majority has savaged and mistreated them down through the centuries. Sure, many blacks will smile generously when kowtowing to whites, and many whites are deceived by this outward show of "respect." Make no mistake, racism is an equal opportunity emotion.
