Black people can be racist towards individual people, but they can't be racist systemically.


What TC is actually talking about is bigotry or prejudice.

Anyone can be bigoted against another race, religion, gender, ethnicity, etc....Nobody on the left has ever disputed this. It's super basic.

Racism has a technical definition that's a bit more nuanced involving systemic or institutional injustices.

Here's a post from someone else who considers themselves an authority on the subject. Which of you is right?

A very common discussion is the predominance of white mass shooters and how theyre treated by politics and the media compared to violent criminals of other races.

Chris Rock isnt not racist because hes Black, but because the joke itself is very likely playing off of that dynamic.

If he said something like all white people suck that would be racist.

And race has always been a part of his comedy. How many people complaining about this have the same complaints about his black people vs n-word routine? >_>

Lol, why do they always try to instigate in news articles lately? Just cherry pick responses from each side that they know damn well will irritate people. Also, Chris Rock has been used for this far to many times. It's his style of comedy. He never made comedy that sensitive white people could enjoy. That's not his audience. Just like Bill Burr isn't a comedian for sensitive women. Coming at comedians acts for being insensitive is the ultimate fun police move. If it doesn't make you laugh then move the fuck on. He's not a revolutionary that is motivating a crowd to take up arms. He's making jokes

. Black people cant be racist because they have never exerted and forced their power and will over other people deemed lower than their race,


How quickly we forget.

Or the much more egregious example of Benin (ex Dahomey)

The kings of Dahomey sold their war captives into transatlantic slavery.[21] They also had a practice of killing war captives in a ceremony known as the Annual Customs. By about 1750, the King of Dahomey was earning an estimated 250,000 per year by selling African captives to European slave-traders.

Of course the Croatian who thinks criticising Donald Trump for racist remarks is oppression and that new age slavery via incarceration is fine has a list of stuff like this to drop into conversation!

I don't find it offensive. He's kinda right... And I say that as a white dude.

But

Black people cant be racist because they have never exerted and forced their power and will over other people deemed lower than their race, a Rock fan fired back at a commenter upset with the star. You dont understand and just wanna cry about the unfairness of your privileged life.


is so fucking tiresome and stupid.

Not in America on the level of creating and maintaining black hegemony at the expense of other groups through the courts, law enforcement and societal norms for centuries.

What's happening in South Africa is only racism if you discount the decades of policy that was used to appropriate the land in the first place. This is literally just returning what was stolen.
Its gonna be interesting when mass starvation kicks in because they don't know shit about farming and they start begging the West for aid. And they should get nothing.

The dude is a comedian and I dont care about who he makes the butt of his jokes. But there is no need to hide behind the woke and fake definition of racism.

Lol.

Same people that nod their head in agreement about his "black people vs n-word" routine are all of a sudden super offended.

And why am I not surprised people in here are trying to lump in the Dayton/El Paso type of mass shooting in with gang related shootings.

Meh. Just Meh. There is a big issue with white male Americans today commiting mass atrocities. I'd say that even though there's more white males than maybe any other demographic in the country, it's still way disproportionate how many mass shootings are caused by them. And ultimately, he's a comidian, a vet at that, and he's not going to ever hold back.

And the funny thing is that any other time there is a disproportionate amount of something negative that has to do with non-white people, people LOVE to point it out, which is why they always point to violence in places like Chicago. It's also why they try to lump in gang related shootings with this particular type of mass shooting, so that they can still point and say "See, it's not just white males doing mass shootings", and it's disingenuous as all hell.

Fact of the matter is this particular type of mass shooting (usually lone wolf but sometimes done in tandem, walking into a public place indiscriminately shooting at random innocent people and trying to rack up as many kills as possible) is disproportionately done by white males. Chris Rock is just playing the odds here and pointing it out.
