    I have heard blacks can't possibly be racist as they have no power to act in racist and discrimanatory fashion. So no blacks hold elected positions? No blacks are supervisors and bosses? Obama never happened?

    What a ridiculous notion. If this were true, no poor folks of ANY color could be racist. Being able to abuse power and influence over others is not required to be racist. Just imagine you are superior by virtue of skin color.

    Here's one well known example of a racist black. Farrakhan
    https://yellowhammernews.com/top-10-farrakhan-quotes-anticipation-return-alabama-weekend/
    1. White people are potential humans – they haven’t evolved yet.
    2. “The Jews don’t like Farrakhan, so they call me Hitler. Well, that’s a good name. Hitler was a very great man.”

    Someone please explain to me how he cant possibly be the racist he obviously is.

    I see, no one can deny the obvious.

    Straw man. Nobody said it was impossible for black people to be racists. And using one or two people as totally representative
    of an entire group is just a moronic argument.

    The obvious is that this a troll thread based on a straw man argument. Have fun, dude.

    Yes, some have claimed it. So your "strawman" accusation is a projection on your part. Also, I never claimed a couple people (who you in the same breath, claimed never said it) represent an entire group. That's 2 srawmen.

    If the thread makes you uncomfortable to address, feel entirely free to find another to try and derail.
    For your further reading, if you care to broaden your horizons.

    Not all lefties make this claim, but I have yet to see one NOT on the left, make it.
    Glad you agree blacks can be as racist as any. That's progress!

    In my experience blacks are one of the most racist races

    Some of them certainly can be, but I think East Indians might take first place.

    Does @Esau have any thoughts on the racism of blacks? Perhaps @Moriah has some insight?
