The Myth of Reverse Racism In America

Can white people experience racism??? Well, today I going to make some people mad but hey that comes with the territory. Today I am dispelling the myth of "reverse racism", a thing that many white people claim when they feel they are somehow being discriminated against when instead they are experiencing a prejudice that does not affect them on a large scale. I explain how racism is a system that has been ingrained in this country since the introduction of slavery and that due to the many institutionalized structures that have been set up to keep people of color inferior pertaining to the societal, economic, and political landscape, white people can not experience racism. I know this will ruffle a few feathers but I feel this is a necessary conversation. Let me know your thoughts in the comments.

Frankly for a black person who speaks in a formal tongue…….the ignorance of the hype gets around from their own people who speak ghetto, and live the urban street life. We are tlalkin’. white’. It is all in immature hype, and street talk on holding their pride. It is all foolish……Black People should come to the awakening of their potential, and find ways to enhance it.

Racism is judging a person by their specific origin. for example if a person from nigeria says that a person is a criminal just because he is from Somalia is considered racism, judging a person by ethnic or cultural traits is considered racism and everyone can be racist with everyone no matter if they were enslaved in the past

I enjoyed this! And really appreciate the breakdown/explanation of racism and prejudice. I feel like one of the barriers that white people have when addressing racism is that they are working with an overly-simplified definition of racism that doesn't account for systemic factors.

It was crazy how you defined racism correctly as, essentially, racial based prejudice and then said "lets go deeper" and re-defined it to be prejudice plus power.

You already acknowledged that racism is prejudice towards based on racial reasons. Thats it. That's racism.

You spent the rest of the video claiming racism means what "systematic racisms" already means.

By your logic, if i go to Japan and start calling everyone there "slopes" and said "i hate slopes, they're an inferior race", that would be prejudice but not racist. Because i dont have power in that society. No, it would be racist as fuck.

Prejudice is racism though. This whole video was horrible

So I watch this purely out of curiosity and I'm asking this question out of pure curiosity because I truthfully don't understand this. I'm not racist by any means. But I'm white so therefore I'm probably racist in one aspect or another because of something outside of my control. But my question is this: if we are to say end racism how would it look at the end of the day for you as a person what would the end goal look like?
