      "But racism is prejudice + power, not what you read in the dictionary." "SEMANTICS," he shouted as he pulled on his My Little Pony t-shirt.

      @AngryBlackLady Power is they key bit. And that isn't in the dictionary? It should be.

      Power is situational. Imagine being a white kid bullied in a school of black kids. It happens. The minority-majority labels are flipped. While the "racism is prejudice + power" definition still applies, it runs counter to the narrative. That's why I don't like this definition.

          “Power” means systemic power. Even in the situation you’ve described, the white student is protected by institutions which do not protect the black bullies. The bullies might be prejudiced, biased, or just assholes. But racism doesn’t apply here.

          That institutional privilege be true over a sweeping average but not in every individual case. The "systemic power" definition is not nuanced and that's my problem with it. It's used too often as an apologetic for bad behavior rather than actually improve anything.

          Literally that is what systemic means, “over a sweeping average.” And yes, what affects the sweeping average does affect the individual. This does not mean there are no downtrodden white folks. It has never meant that.

          Yeah. White people aren’t systematically oppressed because of race. Class, sure. Education, sure. But not race.

          I don't find this "systemic" viewpoint fruitful because there are countless systems/institutions. Power+privilege are contextual. It's bogus to say "X can't be racist because X isn't 'systemically' in power." Is the system a single static pyramid to represent the nation?

          It may help to understand that racism is not a thing one group does to another but something a society does to itself, systematically valuing one set of characteristic over another or one group over another. Racism is the systematic over valuing of white people over POC.

          Even African Americans will test positive on implicit bias tests *against African Americans* because they're the recipients of all the same societal messages that white people are. They do tend to have lower implicit bias levels, though, as they have more chances for counter msgs

          Racism is simply part of being socialized in the United States. It's our culture. We can only change it by actively fighting it. And you can't do that by imagining hypothetical white kids being oppressed at black schools.
