I think I’ll just call it decrimination, because it can happen to anyone regardless of who they are… these extra words just makes matters unnecessarily confusing

Are you trying to say “reverse discrimination”?
Yes
Then yeah, discrimination is discrimination.
It’s about how one person treats another.
But when people talk about racism, they’re talking about how society treats a person based on their race.
Still no reverse, but different races are treated differently by the same society. So racism against an Asian, someone Black, and someone European would all be different in the same society. It’s all bad, but rarely all equally as bad.
There is “institutional racism” and that is how the group in power treats people outside of their race. That’s the only time “reverse” needs added. But that’s when other races believe it’s racial when most of the time it’s about wealth.

LBJ wasn’t saying that as a plan, he was commenting on why Republicans were latching on to racism.
Lol, quoting LBJ about racism…what a racist bastard.
At a time when 80% of Republicans in congress voted for the civil rights acts, and only 40% of Democrats did.
And LBJ only signed them because he was backed into a corner.
“Reverse racism” is never correct. Racism isn’t one-way.
Pretty problematic comment there bud let’s work through it.
Ok, so he was not great before his presidency, true, but what part of that antiracist quote do you disagree with? It’s scary that you would disagree.
True.
False. This one is just downright misinformation. 😳😬😳 Per Wikipedia, “In his first address to a joint session of Congress on November 27, 1963, Johnson told the legislators, “No memorial oration or eulogy could more eloquently honor President Kennedy’s memory than the earliest possible passage of the civil rights bill for which he fought so long.”[26]” Bro wanted this act passed, call it bad faith, whatever, but “backed into a corner” is not it.
Agree I guess, but this term is really poorly defined across contexts so don’t quote me on this
Only true if you utterly and intentionally ignore institutional racism. Institutional racism is one-way. Other comments here have expressed this key distinction better than I could. So I’ll leave it there.
Oh, shit! Receipts!
(This comment is intended to be humorous, but I do appreciate the correction of bad information.)
The internet needs more people like you to explain what institutional racism is. Plenty of well meaning privelaged folk who just don’t get it and stick their feet in their mouths because of it. Thank ya 👍
