The big picture IS all forms of racism, not just what you perceive to be an "oppressing" force on a certain race.

"So the racism of Blacks and the racism of Whites is NOT 50/50, because for the most part, Blacks are not in a position to ACT on that racism in ways that negatively impact Whites financially, professionally or socially.  So racism+ the power to do harm is a much more toxic combination than racism as a member of a group that is a social, political and economic underclass."

That's such weak sauce, thats implying (sorry that's flat out saying) that blacks & or other minorities are being harmed or repressed somehow today, that somehow whites are acting from a position of power to do harm because of a racist agenda.

 There may be some racist minorities, but Whites, as the majority in America and the politically and economically dominant ethnicity in America, have a power to do broad harm to other ethnic groups with their racism.  No ethnic group's racism call harm Whites collectively.  That's obvious, and to deny that is to align yourself with the KKK and Neo Nazis.

Straight up, Fuck you, I disagree with you and you say because of that I'm aligned with the KKK or neo Nazis. again because I dont want there to be confusion about this, FUCK YOU ASSHOLE. Racism is destructive in so many ways, the emotional and social deterioration that result from racism is very real and just as important as any political, economical concerns. In fact racism is not only harmful to the race targeted, but to the people consumes by racism. Racism among minorities should NOT be underestimated or dismissed, its counter productive. Its not something that should be tolerated just because "its the whites turn" or because politically or economically aren't being harmed as a whole. Its an absurd standard toward race issues.
