Yeah, no racism is social. Systemic racism is systemic, you can go to any country and call someone a slur whether or not there’s a system in place that will protect you over them

As someone who is half white, with white skin, but doesn’t look “white enough” or “Asian enough” in both places of my origin, shit sucks

the word "racism" in and of itself is, by definition, referring to systems. the suffix "-ism" literally refers to schools of thought or theories belonging to a class or group; ie. a manifest system of belief

i think colloquially saying you can be racist against white people is fine because people just mean any discrimination based on race, but fundamentally racism is systematic. the word "systematic" in "systematic racism" is redundant and only serves to clarify that which is commonly misunderstood

racism cannot exist on an individual level. racism is not actually just racial discrimination. racism is a system originally created for the sake of distinguishing blacks from whites. it does not exist on an individual level and never has

Just because something is systemic doesn’t mean it’s reduced to the system of a country. Black people can be systemically racist towards white people regardless of whether the system of the country they live in is. You’re selectively restricting the definition of the word system

restricting? no. you are wrongly *expanding* the qualifications for the label of racism for your own intellectual and moral comfort

Within the confines of a black-run system absolutely. Just because it’s not THE system doesn’t make it not a system

Love how your first example is a provocative sentence out of someone’s mouth and not something like genocide, police brutality, medical gaslighting, employment discrimination… Really shows the difference in what’s salient for “anti-white racism” frameworks lmao

What’s irrelevant or a hypothetical about black-run institutions? That sounds pretty racist for you to deny the existence of

What’s relevant about them? Is that a description of the United states legislature? No. The majority of hiring or admission boards? No. The majority of medical institutions? No. The justice system? Certainly no. The police? No. There’s not a “black-run institution” that materially lowers your quality of life due to their “anti-white bigotry,” and so the hypothetical of one is irrelevant. Next?

If you want to say racism only exists within systems, then why must it only be one specific system for you? You keep bringing up one example of a system and then using it as a proof that other systems don’t exist. If I’m talking about black-run institutions as an example why would you bring up non black run institutions?

Lmao I listed half a dozen of many real institutions and you respond with “why does only your one count?!!! doesn’t my hypothetical that doesn’t exist count!!?”

Bro knows there’s not a black-run institution with power over his quality of life, but wants to imagine one is out there to justify his fake-grievance and “elevate” his bitching from “bitching about nothing” to “just as, if not more valid than black people’s racial grievance.” It’s horribly transparent

Where in your dictionary definition that your entire basis stands on does it say that the system needs to have “power over your quality of life?” A system is a system. If the system exists, and racism exists, then racism can be within that system.

Oh. Well go ahead and explain how these hypothetical black-run “systems” (that you still haven’t identified) are fundamental (key word) to a predominant (key word) social, economic, or political practice. It’d be pretty hard for them to, given black people are minorities, but I digress

A black owned business with a discriminatory hiring practice is the simplest definition of a racist system. I don’t understand why you’re so adamantly wrong about it only existing in a gov system. If a white owned business with discriminatory hiring practices meets your criteria or racism, then the flip side literally meets the same definition. The employer runs its own system under racist pretenses that affect socially AND financially. And oh look you added your own word again “predominant”
