Why Reverse Racism isn't real.

-“I got bullied in school for being white. You can’t tell me that’s not racist!” No, this is called you being picked on by a mean child.

-“Someone called me cracker!” This is someone calling you by your privilege.

-“People can be racist against white people too.”

No, they cannot. This will NEVER be true. White people cannot experience racism but they can experience discrimination. Discrimination is different from racism.

Why? Well,

First off, an itolernace or hatred of another race is not racism. Sorry but the dictionary is wrong this time. Accept it and get over it.

Ready? Okay.

Now, Racism IS when an intolerance is implemented into laws, attitudes, and ideals of an entire society and is deemed as normal and no one even realizes it's happening.

Now, I will explain why reverse racism doesn't and can't exist.

Racism = prejudice + power. POC (people of color) can be prejudiced against white people. But they can never have power, (a whole system of structured support that backs them.) White people don’t understand how much power they have. Just ONE white person has more power to do actual harm to a black person than one hundred black people do to that white person. A white person can KILL a black person without any consequences, while if the situation was reversed you can bet the killer wouldn’t see the outside of a prison cell for a very long, long time.

When white people complain about reverse racism, they are not complaining about losing their RIGHTS. What they are complaining about is losing their PRIVILEGE.

White people can never call someone else racist against them because that ‘someone else’ does not have the power to OPPRESS them. The person has the power to be mean.To hurt feelings.But not to OPPRESS.

THAT is the key difference. When a POC is mean to you, they are JUST being mean to you. Their entire society is not ACTIVELY discriminating against and oppressing you.
