Saying that it’s impossible to be racist against white people is borne by the notion that it’s impossible to hate white people.
So he’s saying it’s possible to hate all people apart from whites, because they’re not hate-worthy.
Racist logic imo.
As for Jo Wiley, I truly cannot believe she’s thrown away her legacy like this, very sad to see. Clearly we all have good days and bad days with these unprecedented times but someone needs to throw an arm around Jo and help her get better.
Has any white person on this board been subjected to racism?
Shut up you honky
Along_the_Wire constantly. my wife’s brothers are always commenting on my complete lack of rhythm on the dancefloor.

Actually, the most common “argument” used to try and claim such a thing is borne of “woke” social “science” circles trying to change the definition of ‘racism’ in recent years - they claim that racism is actually not the most commonly understood definition of prejudice or discrimination based on race, but that this prejudice or discrimination must also be supported by “power structures”. Therefore, because the entire world is supposedly all structurally white and only white people have power, only white people can be racist.
It’s a very convenient attempt to try and get away with making what are clear racist statements (often hate-fuelled), while claiming not to be racist because their newly made-up doublethink version of the word means that they couldn’t possibly be.
Never mind that their desired definition even fails on its own merits given that many black people, including Wiley with his (what were) 500k Twitter followers and decent level of wealth, do indeed have power; or never mind that white people wouldn’t really have much power in, say, Saudi Arabia or China (or even if they found themselves lost on their own in a bad part of Chicago).
Their desired definition also fails on its own merits because even if it did come to be adopted in any widespread way then it would be proof of their own racism - they claim racism should be prejudice based on race plus power supported by structures/institutions. They also claim it is not possible to be racist against white people (or correspondingly as per Wiley’s tweet that black people can’t be racist).
However, firstly claiming it’s impossible to be racist against white people is in itself a comment which is prejudicial based on race. Furthermore, if the definition becomes accepted e.g. included in the dictionary and/or used by the MSM, then they would have demonstrated that they themselves in fact have power and are supported by structures/institutions. Thus, they will instantaneously become ‘racist’ even by their own new definition (and given the extent to which it has already gained ground in some left-leaning institutions this could be argued to have already occurred).
The German ZDF message I posted above echoes this exact same bullshit argument.
Here’s a UK example of the same claim being made (and there are loads more):

This article points out a few additional ways in which the concept is fundamentally flawed:

I’ve been called a white mother fucker and the like from moving vehicles a fair few of times. Being 6′5 with Thor-esque hair in Oakland means I do put a bit of a target on my back. I’ll persevere.
Some aren’t too hot to trot with me having a hot Black lady, but that’s their problem.
jonattonyeah have you found life difficult as a result of being white? I’ve had ‘Ginger cunt’ shouted at me 100s of times - that isn’t racism, it’s not something built on centuries of persecution for starters.
Having said all that, I am a ginger cunt.
Along_the_Wire I am a ginger cunt
Collecting ammo for the upcoming live stream.
I get called a good looking bastard all the time.
The persecution is real.
Along_the_Wire And you had a go at me for being ginger lol
Hursty No I haven’t.
Along_the_Wire i think that falls under the “it can’t be racist if it’s true” category.
Along_the_Wire that isn’t racism, it’s not something built on centuries of persecution for starters.
Yeah I know. I was just joking around, really. And I am a mother fucker so no harm no foul
