        Many scholars in sociology and Black Studies define racism not just as personal prejudice, but as a structural system that requires power to enforce racial bias. This framework argues that for prejudice to function as racism, it must be backed by societal power which leads to real-world consequences and material disadvantages for marginalized groups. From this perspective, a society where institutional power is held by white people, only white people can enact racism.

        Anyone, regardless of race, can hold bigoted or prejudiced views, I do in fact hold prejudiced views of white people as racist.

          Prejudice implies it’s an unfair characterization when it’s really not, but that might be the prejudice talking

                  Feel free to try to convince me that hating on a group of people based on the color of their skin isn’t racist. I don’t buy this argument that one group of people can do it to another, but that group can’t do it back.

                  I won’t bother because you’re an idiot
