I Didn't Do It, It Wasn't Me!!!

Where do we start. I was listening to a program and the moderator was talking about how he wasn't racist. Will a white person ever admit that they are racist. What will it take to get a white person to admit that they are a racist. Why do most whites say something when the discussion of racism is brought up. If you are not racist, why do you find it necessary to come to the aid of racist.

Lets say for example that the Obama race card is played during a conversation. And it is pointed out the the TeaParty racist are at it again. And Phil the non racist is listening, why would Phil come to the aid of the racist Tea Partier, as if you called him by name. His first argument is why are you playing the race card, then we have the disclaimer about I'm not a racist and then he goes about assisting to argue on the racist's side. Is it that you identify with being white so much that you consider any attack on a white racist is also an attack on you or is it that deep down inside in the parts that you don't have those discussions that there really is a racist inside and you feel his pain.

Let us define racist, racism, discrimination, bigot, bias, prejudice. From my understanding, prejudice is having a judgement without information, bias is knowing some information about but still having a negative opinion, bigot is not liking a person of another race, discrimination is making a choice based upon one's likes or dislikes, racism is thinking that one race is better than another race, and racist, an individual or entity based on their racial preference who has the power to negatively affect one's outcome based on their bias', prejudice, and discriminatory objectives.

So next time there is a conversation about those racist drug laws, see where you fit in before attempting to protect laws that give blacks more prison time than it does their white counterpart. Or the next time a TeaBagger comes up and says something stupid such as "those people need to get out and find a job, and get off welfare", when referring to inner city blacks, be careful because they might make you sound like you would be a racist if given the chance.

Finally, can black folks be racist. No. according to the definition blacks can't keep white people from getting a job, buying a house, starting a business or going to a school. But white people control jobs, housing, business, and schools and as such control weather blacks have access to these things.
