To be honest, I don't remember writing this. But if you want a summery, I guess it would go like:
Racism isn't entirely a man-to-man kind of thing, it is rather a confusing blend of history, culture, government, and what else we can think of. Being said, we can't judge what is and isn't racist just on what "feels" racist, and especially if someone tries one of those
"if he was black instead of white, then the situation would be way different, gotcha!"
Being said, nothing specifically wrong with the original post, I AM critical of the narrative that often comes with it, though.

The only thing that is racist is racism itself. Anything else is a product of racism. To which, technically if a black person where to say something that sounds mean, based on race, It can't be racist, because racism is an institution. Other words, it is a sociological custom that is ingrained in many repeated cultural behavioral sets of our country. In particular, cities where white people were historically in power, but an influx of minorities occurred,(do to the mass exodus of ex-slaves, for example). In these areas, the poor, black and white alike, heavily completed for wages.(Bosses favoring whites people, obviously). You could understand the rest anyways.
