Some context:


The video starts in the middle of the conversation, and you don't get to hear what the teacher was saying prior, but it a visible overhead projection shows that the lesson was titled "What Is Racism?" 


 


"You're trying to say that it's just race," the student said. "No. Racism is based on the systematic oppression of people. White people have never suffered that."


 


The student then brings a historical lens to her argument: "It's kind of like you, as a white man, saying what is and what is not racist. And that's what's been happening throughout this century."


 


At that point, her classmates erupt by clapping and finger snapping in agreement. 


 


"That doesn't make me believe you because that's what's been fed to us for so long," the student concludes.

Racism can happen to anyone no matter their skin color, it just differs in how much impact it has depending on how much power the individual holds and power is not exclusive to just white people anymore but I get her point I just wish people could accept some people are and have the full ability to be racist against white people.

If you want the definition of racism, it's:

 

the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races.

  • prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.

Tumblr sjw decided that racism can only exist if it's systematic, which is bs. If you think white people are shit, you are racist i'm sorry. Yes, systematic racism is far worst than a black guy calling you a cracker and u moving on with your life, but racism against white people exists. Stop acting like it doesn't, jfc.

 

And this is coming from someone who isn't considered white, so don't pull that "omg ur a cis white privileged flower so u cant talk~~~" 

 

Edit: Oh and if you want white people who were systematically oppressed, try the Irish.

That teacher looks really dumb and unqualified lol

It's kind of annoying when americans make such absolute claims when they're actually speaking about their country's power dynamics (which are based on a couple of centuries), you know, disregarding any dialogue about how racism has always existed since thousands of years ago, before the pseudo-science divided the world into "caucasian/negroid/mongoloid" people.

 

I just wish people were able to discuss and differentiate between the current power and race dynamics versus history's analysis without going crazy. Obviously it's important to focus on the former since it's about the society they're living in, but really aknowledging the latter doesn't contraddict nor belittle anything.

anyway it's 3am I shouldn't even try to discuss this on the internet lol

The battle on racism has gone too far now, coloured people are just in using this as an excuse to complain about anything now, putting the people who do experience real racism in danger, if they're so sick of it why won't they do something to change that? writing a post on twitter or Facebook ain't gonna do shit, Jada pinkett smith started a war on the Oscars because her husband not being nominated and there being too many white nominees, imagine if a white person said there were too many black nominees!!! They'd be hunted down by a mob!!

White people are scared to speak out about anything to with other races (look at the migrant crises in Europe, they refuse to deport illegals and rapists because it's seen as racist) cos they will be deemed as racist. Of course white people are also victims of racism but we now live n a society where anything bad said towards a white person isn't seen as racist because of 'white privilege'. Anyone who says white people can't be victims of racism are ignorant and prove to be racist themselves.

What is the real racism that you mention? Racism is hidden in little things, so saying that coloured people overreact isnt the best thing to say.

 

No, they cant be direct victims of racism because they are part of the group that opresses people based on their skin color.

 

Oh, too bad white people cant be natural and treat other people without the fear of being considered racists. Maybe white people shouldnt have treated black people like shit for centuries. 

 

And.... NO

If you think racism can only be systematic then you must be really dense
