Thank you. In part of the world I live, PREJUDICE is just like RACISM and is not accepted in any form. Took some time to settle terms prejudice and racism. So when prejudice is part of racism, is it true anyone holding prejudice can be racist with given power to oppress? (Hypothetically)

You: "In part of the world I live..." That's fascinating. You say I should understand history and attack me about #facts I mention when it comes to the States and how slavery has affected our society, like I don't think slavery happened worldwide. That still doesn't justify your explicit racism.

The hierarchical structures that have only cisgendered white men on top actually don’t serve anyone. Even the men on top can end up sick or disabled, find themselves unhoused or mentally ill, etc. These systems serve no one. We have to break them. None of us are in the club. We’ve been fooled.

Just like women can’t be sexist towards men. We can be prejudiced. But our judgements about men will not change the outcomes for men. You won’t lose rights because of us. But we lose rights because of men all the time. Men can be sexist. It’s all about who has the power to hold other groups down.

It seems the question I asked is hard. The terms are settled, prejudice / racism, no need for other examples. What I would like to know is, if anyone white/black/red/yellow/pink holding prejudice to white/black/red/yellow/pink people can be racist if he/she has tools of oppression? (Hypothetically)

You become completely unserious and ridiculous when you started mentioning colors like that. The question you asked isn’t hard but I answered the way I chose to. I cannot be an expert on this as I am white. So, just like it’s my responsibility to seek out answers and learn, it is yours. Fucking read

Is it fair to ask chatgpt? Important was “anyone”. Colors were there just for illustration. Sorry.

No - you can’t just explain away saying shit like that. It’s a problem. When you can so flippantly address these issues, it speaks to something deeper. Take this away. Do some reading. Don’t ask Chat GPT as that’s lazy and dumb. Read some literature. There’s tonnnnnnnnns.

Yes - prejudice is a part of racism but racism isn’t necessarily a part of prejudice. It depends on which groups have the ability to use prejudice to change the outcomes for racial minorities. Power structures. In North America (and most of the word) that’s us with white skin. We uphold racism.
