Right. Something is either racist or it's not. "Reverse racism" makes no sense. It's a stupid PC term without meaning. If you hate white people you are not a "reverse racist", you are simply a racist.

Well in that case, I'll come inside now.


And JP, as pretty much everyone has explained (and as I clearly explained in my original post) there is no such thing as 'reverse racism'.

Actually, "reverse racism" makes it sound like the person is not racist.

What, an "I'm rubber and you're glue" kind of scenario?

I personally think we ought to give a smack to whoever came up with that one. It's just some way to confuse people to the fact that racism is racism, regardless of who is doing it.

Reverse discrimination is real. I don't know why y'all can't understand. Affirmative action is reverse racism. It's not anti-white, it's pro-minority. It's not fair, but it's not racism. A person can be for AA and not be a racist.

You can only discriminate. You cannot "reverse discriminate". It's either discrimination or it's not. It makes no difference what color is doing it.

Discrimination does not have a specific direction, therefore there cannot be 'reverse' discrimination. No matter where it comes from, or who it is aimed at, it is discrimination.

Look at it this way. You can discriminate because of your own racism, or because of other people's racism.

The motivation behind the discrimination doesn't matter. It's still just discrimination. Even if you dress it up to make yourself feel better, you can't change the true nature of it. You could spice me up in some nice pretty woman's clothes, but I'd still just be a nasty-a$$ dude.

Default a few missing pieces

the fact that most rape cases don't have DNA evidence doesn't matter because most rapes involve one person. But for her to be fighting several people and scratching them and not one hair strand, not one skin match, absolutely nothing out of all those guys? As most experts have said, that falls somewhere between highly unlikely and impossible.

I don't think it was racism as far as the case goes, although I do think it's racism when a crowd listening to her brother speak starts cheering when they say "how come these rich boys haven't been arrested?" Or start making accusations that if the reverse were true they would be in jail already. That is racism, race baiting, whatever you want to call it. The fact that much of the crowd cheered in support doesn't speak well of them either. Atticus Finch in reverse.
