If a black person has a white friend

according to liberalism, that is correct. Liberals believe black people can't be racist in any context because racism = power + prejudice, and because black people do not have institutional power, they ergo cannot be racist to white people. I didn't make your sides dumb rules, but that's how it is.

It means, you're racist no matter what.
What it means is that any righty who reply's to your thread will be accused of being a racist.
According to many on the left, blacks can't be racist no matter what they do or say.

The left doesn't believe anyone but whites can be racist because whites are the majority and hold a majority of the total elected positions in the country. They tend to ignore that in many localities, especially incorporated citied, blacks hold a majority of the elected positions.
The left believes in the nonsense concept of white privilege yet refuses to acknowledge privilege through the law (i.e. - affirmative action) is just that. They call it leveling the playing field. However, when leveling the playing field involves using something to benefit that would be considered racist if used to deny, it's just as racist. The manner in which it's used doesn't change WHAT is being used.

Some do look at it that way. I'm not one of them. Anyone can be racist, and act on it -- whether it's as petty as a clique in the work place, or treating customers in a place of business differently (i.e., pretending not to see them waiting at a counter) because of their race. All races are capable of behaving that way. You can argue that the store employee has some sort of power over the customer, I suppose.
I don't know any lberals - they died out around here in my Great-Grandfather's time - but the 'race' fantasy only matters when it is held by those in power. surely? Victims almost always respond in terms of their bullies' nonsense. What else are they going to do - try talking sense to the KKK? If a lot of you are bullied for being 'black', you tend to organise as blacks, I suppose.

You know, when I first came to New Orleans (1965) I picked up a Paper and was looking for an Apartment to Rent. I knocked on this one door to inquire about the Apt. for Rent. And she opened the door, took one look at me and said "We don't rent to white people". I smiled and began to laugh (being from SoCal that sounded hilarious) and I said "That's illegal." And she said "We don't rent to white people." and slammed the door in my face. hahahahahahaha ...
Then ... I walked down to the corner bar and asked for a Beer. ... and the guy said "I can sell you the Beer, but you can't drink it here." hahahahahahahahaha ... I said "What the fuck is going on around here?" I told him the story of what just happened to me. Then, with this puzzled look on his face, he said "Where you from Boy?" I told him California. He said "Have a seat". hahahahahaha ...
Anyway, he sat there with me and told me that blacks treat whites like whites treat blacks. It was like they were still fighting the Civil War down there.
You should have tried getting somewhere to rent in Bristol, once upon a time, if you were 'Welsh'. It was almost a relief when 'black' people moved in to be picked on too! And we have 30% foreigners, mostly English, living over here! Duw, aren't we tolerant! But it's a relief to get down to Cardiff and mix with some decent Welsh Muslims!

Thanks, iolo. It's good to know that all the Idiots are not just here in the US.im glad that you see it that way, I agree. I think identiy politics only serves to divide us. I hope you can push back on some of those elements within your political philosophy. It'll be good for everyone.

Occasionally I do make my POV on that known, if the person appears receptive. I also think that those who see themselves -- and everyone else of their race -- as victims are doing themselves a disservice. If you schlep through life feeling victimized, well then you just handed all your power away. This same attitude is becoming more and more prevalent in this country among whites, esp. older white males, and among Christians too. For some reason they see the ascendance of others as somehow draining them of power, thus making them victims in some way. Once again, if you think that, it becomes true, to you.

This range of people that you have presented portrays white people as the smartest, while other races are idiots. You are a racist for making this statement.
