It obviously depends on how it is being used, but generally no. It's related to race, but that's not the same thing as it being racist.

Hmm regardless if it is technically racist or not, it's definitely a controversial and offensive term. Best not to use it ever. With that said, I am the type of person who would most definitely shame anyone who would deny their background and their heritage. I wouldn't call anyone a race traitor but yeah you should be proud of where you come from.

The term is frequently used by other black people, though. It's not really racist in that case, but it's an example of toxic racialism. Anyone who thinks people should act or think a certain way because of their race -- and tried to shame/insult them if they don't -- have deep-rooted racial issues themselves.

Anyone who thinks people should act or think a certain way because of their race -- and tried to shame/insult them if they don't -- have deep-rooted racial issues themselves. As much as I hate to admit it, I agree. The above is a major part of the reason that i have always disliked the term. Also, most of the time I see it used, its just used as a way to ostracize/dismiss the person, which effectively ends any potential beneficial rational discussion. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

It implies you need to think and act a certain way to be black so it seems pretty racist to me To me it implies you shouldnt sell out your fellow slaves to get a few more crumbs at the masters dinner table. It may have originated with race but its basically a term to call out those who betray their people for petty personal gain. Like Judas. --- UnfairRepresent: "wut? who are you?"
