Only Whites can be Racist because Racism is based on Discrimination on skin color and feeling superior due to skin color. Colored people can be prejudicial towards whites – but not racist.
Prejudice refers to a positive and/or negative evaluation of another person based on their perceived group membership. Racism on the other hand refers to social actions, practices or beliefs or political systems that consider different races to be ranked as inherently superior or inferior to each other.
Furthermore, racism is socio-economic, with systemic structures which promote one race’s powers over another. Socio-economic being the operative word, I am certain you will agree that black people do not have the resources to impose such oppressive structures which enforce their superiority. White people on the other hand have, and had imposed them on blacks for over four centuries of slavery and colonialism. Black people can be prejudiced, but not racist.
Racism is based on a few things—historical, systemic oppression and power. And as far as history goes, white people have never been persecuted for the color of their skin—so there’s no point comparing their experiences to those of black, brown, and Indigenous folks.
It’s slavery, colonialism, theft all kinds of violations on systemic proportions… versus feelings being hurt.
