My friend from school said she is gonna give me this painting. Trying to figure out where to hang it.

I suggest a truck stop glory hole.

There is no systemic power reinforcing negative prejudices of white people so words like cracker aren't offensive and hurtful in the same way that depicting a black man as a monkey is.

Also, i believe your history of the word cracker is wrong but i might be mistaken. I had always heard it was used for the poor whites who worked as slave drivers, the crack being the sound the whip makes.  

Nope, that's a rumor. I found no historical evidence doing my random research on racial slurs.

Also any politician who makes a habit of calling a woman with some native American ancestry "Pocahontas" in an effort to delegitimize her gives up the right to not be called cracker, so even if there were a systemic form of prejudice against white people, mister trump has said it's okay.

And fwiw I told my friend she should paint an anus lol  

That's just shitty logic. It's okay to be racist towards racists? No, if some black dude starts ranting about killing all the whites I don't get to call him a cotton picking nigger then turn around and tell other black people I'm not racist. You're either racist or not, no exception or justification.

You can't be racist against white people because there is no systemic oppression of people because of whiteness. 

A black person saying white people deserve to die is doing so within a constant state of oppression, a white person saying that black people deserve to die is doing so within a position of power where black people do die simply for being black. Every single day. The two aren't even. The context matters. 

If they were even, which again they aren't, then opting out of common decency the way trump has would make it ok. 

Imagine for a second that you were a Jew in nazi Germany. You would likely say awful things about the nazis. This would not make you "just as bad" or "racist against racists". It makes you an oppressed person who is upset and angry, and afraid.  

The definition of racism doesn't change to fit your narrative. Racism is still racism no matter what and it's wrong no matter what.

Now, a black person resenting white people is more understandable while a white person hating black people seems more despicable. But facts are facts and they don't change because something feels more wrong than the other. It's all racism and it's all immoral. End of story. No changing the rules around.

And your Nazi comparison is also shitty logic. Because Nazis are not a race. The are a political party that believes in killing Jews. Bigotry towards Jews is in the very definition of being a Nazi while being bigoted towards blacks is not in the definition of being white.

I hear Steel Panther is playing Trump's 2021 inauguration.

Haha. That's so fucking dumb.

It isn't dumb. Racism is an inherently systemic issue. POC experience racism as a collection of actions against them. Calling a white person cracker isn't part of a larger system of oppression and therefore isn't equal to calling a black person the n slur. The two are just completely different.

Whiteness only exists because a group of people decided that anything not white was a savage that needed to be slaughtered or forced into chattel slavery. 

Think of it like, if you're in a room and a guy has a gun to your head. If you say "you should die" it carries a lot less weight than if the guy with the gun says it. Systemic oppression is the gun. The history of racism is the gun.   

Yes it is dumb, Rob. Hating someone because of their race is what racism is. You can use racism to oppress and most oppressors use some form of bigotry/sexism/racism but those words are not interchangeable. You can be racist and not oppress.

Trying to blur the line on what words mean to fit a narrative is a reoccurring problem with you that I hope you can fix sometime. Believe me or don't but I don't say that with any malice for you. You have some valid points and you're trying to do good but you go about it wrong quite often. Words have meaning, man. You can make your arguments without pretending otherwise. 

You're right. "White" (or whiteness, if you prefer) is a slippery term that means different things across the world and it can be used to capture the weak-minded into one form of tribalism or another. You know what doesn't make that go away though? Pretending that POC can't be racist. Telling white people that they've never experienced racism without knowing their story only adds fuel to an already ignorant, bigoted, violent, bloody fire that should have burned out a long ass time ago.
