  1. (This is more me trying to wrap my head around all of this than an attempt to get answers from anyone, but feel free to reply if you want. With all the ugliness and ignorance of late around politics and the conflict in Gaza I've turned off my reply notifications for a bit so I won't know if anyone does, but I'll probably check back in a day or two to see if anyone had anything interesting to say. Cheers!) I feel like what "racism" is keeps changing. I used to confuse racism with racial bigotry and racial bias until I was educated that they are different. I was corrected that racism is the systemic oppression of non-whites in the White dominated socio-economic structural system, so that only a White person can be a racist but anyone of any racial group can have racial bigotry and bias. And that all White people, but only White people, are inherently racist by the fundamentals of their birth and the societal structural system we are all born into. Thus, until that societal structure changes, and Black and Brown people have equal levels of status, control and equity within the societal structure, a White person can be an anti-racist ally in the struggle to make that happen but they will always still be a racist. So as a White person I have no choice but to be a racist and the best I can do is strive to not be a racially bigoted and intolerant White person as well. But in this discussion it sounds like they are saying White people might not be racists - or can somehow chose to not be racists? Or is it that now Black and Brown people who are "White on the inside" are racists too so that it's actually not only White people who are racist after all but also anyone from another racial group who is enabling and profiting from the existing socio-political and economic system? And why does it sound like the goal is not to end racism but to create a new social structure in which White people are no longer the racists but either Black or Brown people (it probably wouldn't be both as realistically only one group at a time can be in the seat of of power and control) are in the power position benefiting from being the dominant racial group and becoming the new racists in that structure? Is it that there will there always be racism but Blacks wants to be the "masters of the universe" over the Whites and other People of Color in that new structure? And why at other times in the program are they using the word racist when it sounds what is actually talking about is White racial bigotry, White racial bias, or White supremacy? As a side note here, it's always odd to me how the subjects of economic class and class warfare are never part of this conversation. I've always been acutely aware that I have more in common with another Black or Brown person of my economic status than I ever will with a White Person like King Charles or an Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos billionaire - or someone who isn't White but still crazy rich and/or powerful like Mohammed bin Salman or Xi Jinping.
