Ok, so if I say “man these Black criminals are ruining our city”, then it’s alright to backpedal when confronted and say “oh obviously I only meant specific Black people”?
Or, different example in the same sphere. Is it okay for a Black person to be racist against white people?
I’ve had it with your ridiculous strawmen. I’ve told you what you need to know (that white people aren’t inherently racist and it’s therefore not racist to call out racism, including racism specific to white racists) and you keep trying to twist it into something it’s not.
I don’t know if you’re a racist yourself, if you’re just a pedant, or if you really believe that you have a valid and important point, but you don’t. Not even close.
I ask because, in the first example, that’s basically your use of “caucasity” but with a different race. The second example is a classic one that proponents of the “punching down” philosophy use - people have told me they believe it’s actually impossible for black people to be racist against whites, because that’s “punching up”.
No? Isn’t the whole idea that it’s okay to say things about white people that it isn’t okay to say about other races?
Nope. The idea is that it’s okay to say things about white RACISTS that it would make no sense saying about any other people, white or not.
“White racist” isn’t any more a race than for example “black embezzler” or “Japanese bigamist”
