I’ve been thinking a while about how to write this blog. Different scenarios have surfaced.<\/p>\n
On MySpace I used to frequent the blogs of TCOOO. TCOOO was a reggae\/ska band from Jamaica. No matter what he blogged about someone would show up and start a racist rant. Frequently they would start out with \u201cI’m not racist, but\u201d or \u201cI have black friends and I think\u201d.<\/p>\n
Sometimes they would come on as totally innocent unknowing \u201cI don’t know what racism is, it seems that all races can be racist, can you define it for me\u201d.<\/p>\n
People sometimes confuse the two words \u201cprejudice\u201d and \u201cracism\u201d. Prejudice has a two meanings. It can be against or in favor of something. Racism only has one meaning, one’s race is superior to another.<\/p>\n
Even in the 60s, the Black Nationalist did not think they were superior to white people, they proclaimed they were equal to white people. That scared a lot of white people.<\/p>\n
Anyone claims they do not know what racism is or claims that black people can be equally racist as white people are liars. Racism implies power. Until there are black CEOs of Fortune Five Hundred companies, until there are Blacks as presidents of major banks, until Blacks control the majority in all offices of government, they will not have the power. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
