<p>The problem with Jellybae’s thinking is:</p>
<p>1) He or she seems to think that only actions are eligible for the “racist” tag. That is wrong.</p>
<p>2) He or she thinks that all such events are covered/reported equally. Hence his or her belief that checking the web would deliver reliable and valid results to support those claims.</p>
<p>The KKK is a racist group</p>
<p>…but so is the Black Panthers and some members of the NAACP.</p>
<p>My main points are:
- Racism is a thought, a word, and an action.
- Nobody should receive a free pass for racist thoughts and actions.
- Racism knows no color – it knows all colors.
- The only way we’re going to move past this is to become color-blind. </p>
<p>Well thats obviously racist but you dont have to compare everything racist to black people. Calm ur nips people.</p>
<p>Someone equated the black panthers to the kkk. This is it. CC has truly come full circle. I’ve seen it all on here. Wow.</p>
<p>@realtwinkie you want me to educate you but in this day and age you could literally just google something and learn by yourself what are you 5??? </p>
<p>@Jellybae
Most of the research articles I searched repeat your point but say the definition of racism by the dictionary isn’t true. Racism doesn’t specifically say anywhere that it adheres to or excludes one group. You can be white and experience racism based on the dictionary definition of racism but people who argue the opposite say the definition needs to be changed to exclude white people. At this point, if you are correct,then screw the dictionary and the English Language. I’ve learned from you that every single word about racism has become invalidated like laws regarding hate crimes: invalidated. If you want something to exclude white people regarding racism, go make up your own word.</p>
<p>@TheAtlantic im AA too and you were ok until #2 now I’m just shaking my head because you are sad. Idk how people look at predominately white schools and basically say “there should be more white people at this 60-80% white school just look at all these undeserving 600 SAT scoring 2.0 gpa having blacks and Hispanics trying to get an education they shouldn’t be here more white people should” and then say they’re not racist but I’m sleep tho.</p>
<p>The dictionary gives a brief definition. Racism has much more depth to “discrimination by race” and you should know this. If you did a research paper would you simply cite the dictionary for a source or find a source that goes in depth with historical background?? Common sense is a blessing pls utilize yours @realtwinkie </p>
<p>Btw Twinkie you’re supposed to be educating yourself you don’t need to notify me with every discovery you make… </p>
<p>@Jellybae If college professors have written papers about how white people cannot be victims of racism, then they lose all legitimacy as academics. I’m calling you on your bs.</p>
<p>And before you tell me to check Google (as helpful as that is), please realize that you can find crap sources that seem to back up any ridiculous argument (Holocaust denial, the belief that dinosaurs never existed, to name a couple examples), so it’s important to use credible sources.</p>
<p>Several credible sources back my claim lol. I’m just telling you to use google to realize I’m right but you clearly don’t want to. I’m not forcing you to believe me I’m just making sure you know that I know your views are bs lol @spencerg011 I love how anything that discredits you is suddenly not credible loollll</p>

College professors don’t determine the definition of racism. If they want a word regarding discrimination that excludes whites, they ought to make up their own word before changing the definition of an established word and telling the world what the definition of racism is. The subject of racism can affect any race. Arabs are considered white, what about them?</p>
<p>@realtwinkie “Arabs are considered white” nope I take my previous statement back. NOW I’ve truly seen it all on CC</p>
<p>The US Census defines Whites as European, North African, or Middle Eastern origin. Look it up on the government website. Do people of Middle Eastern or North African origin ever experience racism?</p>
<p>“Whites as European, North African, or Middle Eastern” nvm I take it back now I’ve truly seen it all on CC</p>
<p>Courtesy of the US government who you can argue definitions with since you seem to like arguing definitions.</p>
<p>Jellybae, you are simply wrong.</p>
<p>Yes, the Black Panthers are racists.</p>
<p>The KKK says “White power!”</p>
<p>The Black Panthers say “Black power!”</p>
<p>They are <em>both</em> racist by definition.</p>
<p>If you can’t see that, it underlines your own racism.</p>
<p>Several middle easterners and North Africans have protested against the bureau for inaccurately labeling them as white. The bureau is currently trying to accommodate the protests but it’s not confirmed if it will change by 2020. This has been going on for a decade now. Guys come on how many times must I remind you that google is your friend #-o </p>
<p>Your hatred for white people makes you a racist… such a double-standard you have working in your mind… but continue with your delusions.</p>
<p>Nobody gets a pass to speak or act racist… don’t point at the speck in someone else’s eye when you have a log in your own eye…</p>
<p>Prezbucky your posts are so wild idek if I can believe them</p>
<p>Until Arabs have a separate category in the Census, they still are white. Why do you have such a problem with this as they have similar characteristics to Greeks, Italians, and Russians.</p>
<p>My posts are wild?</p>
<p>Exactly which statement does not make sense?</p>
<p>To me, saying that only whites can be racists is a wild (and indefensible) statement.</p>
