We have it from no less an authority than Dr Jeremiah Wright that blacks can't be racist because they don't control the institutions of power. Apparently only those in the majority can be racist. In fact, to do so he throws the term 'racism' out in favor of the term 'white supremacy' . (Apparently that will make black racism go away, if there is no term to describe it. Sound familiar to anyone?)
Quote:
"Racism," in Baldwin's opinion, is too nebulous a term. It
is slippery and has many different meanings for many
different people. I have even heard misguided (and
ignorant) pundits like Rush Limbaugh and Tom DeLay
calling Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney and other Black
people racists. I have heard the term "Black racism" and I
have also heard the term "reverse racism."
The misuse of that term ignores the fact that Africans do
not control the military, the police, the legal structure or
any of the means to enforce their race prejudice. To try to
get misinformed whites and blacks to understand that fact is
a waste of time.
You end up trying to make a blind man see something that
he is physically and biologically unable to do. The use of
the term "racism," therefore, makes one enter into an
exercise in futility and causes you to come away from that
discussion frustrated, angry and wanting to do like
Langston Hughes' Jess B. Semple and smash something! The term "white supremacy," however, is much more
accurate. White supremacy undergirds the thought, the ideology, the theology, the sociology, the legal structure,
the educational system, the healthcare system, and the
entire reality of the United States of America.....

Remember this is the man whom Obama revered as his 'mentor', and allowed his children to be taught by.

i've heard that before. but i don't really buy it, because it's a flimsy outlook based solely on the black/white dynamic in america.

there's a lot of different kinds of people in the world. it's silly to think that white americans are the only ones that have any racial prejudice despite evidence to the contrary.

I agree with you. My point is that Obama was taught the opposite for 20 years and brought his kids along for the ride.

Many Americans are ga-ga over a guy whose POV has been shaped by the idea that only whites are racists.

Indeed, his view of the 'typical white person' (by his own admission) is embodied in his white grandmother making racist statements 'that made me cringe'.

His minister, Jeremiah Wright , wanted to replace the term 'racism' with 'white supremacy' to get away from the concept that anyone except whites could be racist.

It's kind of a 1984 way of approaching language. Get rid of some troubling words so that the concepts they represent can't be discussed, debated or thought about.
