Thank you!

Imagine going up to someone who says that Communism is the best form for government and every nation in the world should become communist!

Then you say, "So you're a communist."

And he responds, "Oh, no! I can't be a communist, because communists have never been in power in the United States!"

That's exactly like saying black people can't be racist. "Oh, I can't be racist, because black people don't have systemic power in the United States."

The suffix -ist means "believer in the aforementioned philosophy." A Darwinist is a believer in Darwinism. A communist is a believer in communism. He doesn't have to live under communism.

If I am a believer in God, and I were living under a government that outlaws religion, and forbids those who adhere to religion from holding office. I would still be a theist, even if I live in an atheist society. I could not say, "Oh, I can't be a theist, because theists have no institutional power."

The belief makes the -ist. Not the system we live under.

So, even by the dubious definition of "racism" forwarded by wokeists and professional grifters like Robin DiAngelo, black people can certainly be racist. All they have to do is promote systems of power and privilege based on race. Do you believe in reparations for slavery? That would be an institutionalized privilege based on race. Consequently, it would be racism. And anyone who believes in it is a racist. What about safe spaces on college campuses for non-whites? The black caucus in government? Affirmative action? Black student governments? Black segregated communities, such as dorms on college campuses?

All racist by the very definition that wokeists subscribe to.
