Can Black People be Racist?

[Notanumber]

You're welcome to contribute something substantial to this debate, once you've calmed down and no longer verbally attack people for calling out racism. We've already agreed on the principle of equality, now try to put that into practice with your own speech.

I was only stating a fact.

I was only stating a fact.

Where were you stating facts, exactly? Could you point them out to me, along with supporting evidence?

You have kept referring to it.

So you don't remember?

In the news....
Looters who hit L.A. stores explain what they did: 'Get my portion!'

I didn't get to use that picture for quite a while:

I wonder if sometimes it isn't looting so much as salvaging.
Because a huricane creates inaccessibility, damage to goods,
& impending spoilage.

Here in the UK we have two black Members of Parliament that are notorious for their racism.

Have you any examples of racism from these two?

Being childishly bitter over Brexit and suggesting Africa doesn't need more white saviours doesn't amount to racism, imo. Is that it?

What about Abbott?

Did you take part in the poll and see the result?

Did you read the comments?

I read a few. Why?

The poll asked – Do you agree with David Lammy’s comments?

At the time that I voted, 28% said Yes and 72% said No.

I would class this as fair comment rather than a rant - "What has colour got to do with any of this? So you're well meaning and you think, 'Oh well, I can't go there because I'm white', 'I can't do this charity video because I'm white'. That in itself is racist."

Are you saying that people are racist if they believe that white-on-black racism exists?

Do you believe that black-on-white racism exists?

 

[Tambourine]

I will tell you after you've answered my question.

 

[Notanumber]

I will tell you after you've answered my question.

I can guess your answer.

 

[Tambourine]

I can guess your answer.

Yea, I kind of expected that you'd rather make stuff up about me, than actually try and answer a question of mine.

I disagree with his comments, too. I just don't think they're racist. I haven't seen the comic relief clip but I have seen Stacey Dooley docs before and I think she's a decent person who genuinely wants to help folk.

But let's say I was to give you this one and say, ok maybe there's some racism in his comment, would you agree that they don't suggest he's harbouring a prejudice against white people in general?

Is there more? I don't mean to be nitpicky but that hardly seems like enough to be notorious for his racism.

You also said Diane Abbott was notorious for racism but I haven't seen anything to suggest that's true.

I will do some more research for you when I get the chance.
