by definition, yes it is racist

but the fact is, the pedestal that society has placed white women on over black women

massively outweighs any magazine or award show

you would never find a white woman that would be willing to become a black woman if she had a chance

because they know we are looked down on

so people like you can complain all you want

but don't expect any sympathy out of us

Look, you need to spend less time on YouTube and work on getting your GED. You simply are way too ignorant to even try to have this debate as you're failing miserably. Find me ANY dictionary definition that states racism can only be perpetrated on an "oppressed" person group. Laws and simple common sense reject that asinine suggestion. Only a moron would even suggest that.

@tony666ism i would love to be the victim of that kind of racism

[tony666ism]

@crhood2166

well this must be the frst form of racism in history were

the "oppresed" come out on top

[crhood2166]

@tony666ism

You're the one claiming that black on white racism is fine because whites are on a "social pedestal". So, you're either a hypocrite, a moron or just don't know what the word means. I've got news for you, though, you are a racist. Period.

@crhood2166

what the hell are you talking about

you sound crazy

i'm not blaming anyone for anything

i'm just stating how it is

don't shoot the messenger pal

[crhood2166]

@tony666ism

Okay, so at least know we know you're just an idiot. You won't find a definition of "racism" ANYWHERE that fits that asinine criteria. Keep hating, though...that way you always have someone else to blame for your failures.

[tony666ism]

@crhood2166 that group can have a right to claim they are being treated unfairly when they are no longer on their social pedestal

[crhood2166]

@tony666ism

Why won't you just admit you're a hypocrite? You're not even trying to make an argument here. And now your position is "It's okay to be racist if you envy the race you're treating unfairly". Either racism is okay for everyone or no one. You don't get to pick and choose what suits you best....unless you're a hypocrite.

@crhood2166

you are way more upset about this than the white celbrities actually are

they aren't missing out on anything

they don't care

you are trying to make seem like we got it so made

let me ask you something

do you know one white person who will be willing to become black if they had the chance
