Black People Can Be Racist As Well
If you asked someone what the definition of racism was, they'd more than likely say a white person being either verbally or violently discriminating a black person. Black people can be racist but because it is unusual we don't identify that. I'm completely for racial harmony and peace and all that but I'm just putting it out after being asked to by my sister.

All Black People Are Racist!!!

Ironic jokes aside, yes, anyone can be racist. Non-white people can be racist towards each other too. It's just not considered as faux pas for some reason.

Anyone, regardless of race, gender, or sexual preference, can be racist. Its not just limited to one group of individuals.

Black people can be just as racist as White people or any other kind of people. Race has nothing to do how racist you are.

Anyone can be racist, and anyone who says differently is racist.

Yes, of course. Persons of each race have equal chance of being racist as all others...the colour of our skin doesn't define how "racist" we are, or whether we are racist or not in the first place.

Like athling said, this has been posted several times before. BUT that's ok I suppose. Oh and like athling, I have recently posted a comment concerning this exact thing. Look it up. Being that I am a person of "color"...I know that racism in the black community exists. It even exists within our communities against ourselves. It is shameful. A person is too light skinned or too black...it is ridiculous. I knew a guy so black he looked purple! And others would always tease him about how black he was. Weird stuff.

 I think it is more to do with prejudice, as you say it happens within our own races.
You are at one with, or counted as one of us, and anyone else is either a rival or not one of us.
If one moved away he/she, (but mostly he) is then considered a traitor, and became one of them, or just an outsider.

Anyone could possibly be a racist. Racism has many forms, and disguises, and should be defeated every time it raises its ugly head. In fact it should be stamped upon. Martin Luther King sums up the best stance against racism: ''I have a dream that one day this nation will live out the true meaning of its cree": 'we hold these truths to be self-evident; that all people are created equal.' When we let freedom ring, when we let it ring for every village and every hamlet, for every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, 'Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are Free at last!'

This has been posted several times already! I do believe folks here are getting tired of it.

However, yes...I agree. Look at my other replies and comments to similar posts.
