Yes, Virginia, Blacks Can Be Racist

A few days ago, I came across the following YouTube video:

There’s no evidence that the black thug in the above video murdered the white Uber driver out of racial animus. But let’s suppose he did. He murdered the Uber driver because she was white. If the Uber driver were a black or Hispanic woman, he would have just robbed her.

In my mind, a black person who harms someone just because they’re white is a racist. But that’s not how our Woke Overlords see it. They tell us that blacks can’t be racist towards whites or any other demographic group because blacks don’t have political power. Blacks are only 13 percent of the population, and in a constitutional republic that selects representatives by majority vote, this means they don’t have the votes to make the government a black supremacist government. Blacks are therefore absolved of any responsibility to ditch tribalism and forgo racist behavior.

How convenient. Our Woke Overlords define racism in such a way that makes a group they despise (white Americans) accountable for racist behavior but not a group they worship (black Americans).

In one sense, our Woke Overlords got it right. The definition of racism should be based on the variable of power. But not just on voting power. It should be based on all manifestations of power—especially the power to put a gun against someone’s head and pull the trigger. So if you have the power to ruin someone’s day, and you act on this power solely because you don’t like your victim’s race, you’re a racist.

Okay, groovy freedomist, that’s all I got. What say you? Can blacks be racist? Or do you believe the woke propaganda that blacks can’t be racist because “they don’t have power?”
