Frankster, you completely read me wrong. I was agreeing with you.
The sentence meant that 'yes' there is racial prejudice, and 'no' there is no black racism by that definition. I'm not sure how to make it clearer, but my post was supporting your statement, not arguing it.

I knew you were agree with me , but I was unsure as to your definition of racism , And still is !

Also, saying that blacks in a similar situation could be guilty of racism IF the situation came about is in no way at all an apology for todays racists. In fact, I find it even offensive that you would compare me to an "apologist" in any way shape or form.

When the real world examples makes the proposition of "blacks with power potential racist" a lie(though not impossible ) , then to forward the idea is an attempt to obfuscate , hide or minimize the obvious reality of how racism is practice and by whom by . Spreading the guilt or sharing the blame is an apologist tactic .
My apologies for comparing you to an apologist , but if you are using their weaponry , then you must understand my assumption .

Predjudice is natural... it's part of human nature. It is hard to change that, but racism born of predudice is not acceptable and shouldn't be tolerated. It is a fact of life right now, but we do not have to accept it.

True it is Natural and a fact of life and hence we
have to accept it , anything else is to live in denial - that only helps those who profit from racism . If in a society racism is being practice it is being tolerated , as for one to be racist one needs societal and political support .
