Who are you quoting and why should I take their political opinons as my own?
Funny how sharks aren't more likely to bite you if white.Same with shark attacks but I still go to the beach anyways.
Google's dictionary function, that’s what it says the definition of racism is.

Dictionaries are publications like any other, and merely state the views of the dictionary compiler as to how words are being used. They certainly don't capture every aspect and nuance of the meanings of words. Besides, I'd say that definition implicitly involves questions of power.
I’m looking at the definition and I don’t know how you are getting an implied power out of that. It’s anazes me that anyone would hold that position to be honest.
If I’m understanding you right a black guy and a white guy can think the exact same thing about each other (that the other is dangerous because of their skin color for example) but only the white guy would be racist because of “power”. That doesn’t seem a tad absurd you you?

Would the black lawyer be unafraid to deliver a package in an inner city black neighborhood? Statistically, compared to the story in this thread, where are his chances worse?
But THAT never makes it to the news. I wonder why.
Yes I know why
This thead seemed to have died lol. I am curious how Asians stack up, are they able to be racist or only half racist?
I'm willing to bet that most here that agree with the Dad would also be too afraid to go into the area you describe..
The projection is strong in this one.
Asians are capable of being racist. They can also be fat but there are far less of them then the white population as a percentage, IMO.It was stated that people that aren’t in a position of "power" aren’t able to be racist. I’m trying to understand that logic. Follow up questions was regarding Asians because they fall somewhat in the middle on the power structure, so are they capable of being racist? Feel free to explain it to me, my fingers aren’t in my ears.
Can Asians be racist? Or since their “power” lies in between blacks and whites I’m guessing it’s possible for them to be racist towards blacks but not towards whites?

No rational person would say that would never happen, but it's far less rational to take the exception and claim it's the new rule. It's only the rule in your mind because you want it to be so to back up your preconceived notions.Did I mention for the 5th time the 14 year old kid who was shot at because he was lost. Yet that seems to be lost on you why you continue to cry "that would never happen"
Is that your brain defect or just willful ignorance? Maybe its the Trump "facts don't matter" thing again. U orange too?
Well, some prefer white meat and some prefer dark meat.
Sharks universally avoid Asians, though, because they know that they'll just be hungry again in about 30 minutes.
I never said it was the rule. What I say it is an increased risk solely on the basis of being black.No rational person would say that would never happen, but it's far less rational to take the exception and claim it's the new rule.
