black racist???

webster defines racism as any program or practice of racial discrimination or segregation. victims of racism cannot themselves be racist against their oppressors because they themselves have not the power to do so. it is therefore categorically impossible. so why then, every time a black person speaks publicly about this government’s tactics to become a world power, is S/HE then labeled a racist? i ask because i’ve been hearing the buzz (really, just another tactic to slander) about obama’s preacher’s ’racist’ remarks. so i search to find out exactly what he said. well, come to find out he’s saying the same shit i say er’day. but i can’t understand why white folk get so mad; it’s not like they’re being lied on...message: if you are ashamed about the shit ya do, quit doin it!! and if it ain’t you doin it, quit supporting other folk when they do it. that applies to all creeds and colors. when it comes to white folk tho, if YOU are really not the racist that you so hate being called, denounce all the benefits that have come to you because of slavery. not only denounce them, but reject them and give them away to a black person, or a native person, or a mexican person--if you are sitting up on their land some where in cali, arizona, texas or new mexico. now, i know that there are a few white people who readily acknowledge the reality of a white american existence--privilege and protection at the expense of poor people and people of color. a few are even ashamed (as they should be) and that’s good for them. but there are so many out there who act as tho black people should be grateful for being america’s step children. no thank you. and saying this does not make me a racist. it makes me a realist. in my life time, i have witnessed this global campaign to just sweep the american systems of slavery and apartheid (the processes by which white power was achieved and maintained) under the rug. and even worse, to shut niggas up for talkin about it. there is also a blatant refusal by white folk (and many black folk) to connect why the descendants of the victims of these systems are so troubled, angry, frustrated and confused. whites continue to deny the roles that these systems have played in the destruction of black people (and in the advancement of themselves), because by denying these truths, the ’niggas are just sorry that’s why they and got shit’ position can be easily maintained. it then does not have to be publicly accepted that the conditions under which many black people live, even today, are the residue of chattel slavery and jim crow. for white people to accept this truth wholly and publicly requires a pay up that this government ain’t ready to unass. but just how do these all these facts continue to go unscrutinized? simply; reverse psychology. any time a black person remarks on the policies, programs and techniques used by white folk to abuse black people; said black person then becomes the racist. this is some sick shit y’all....
