    Kinda sounds like in that example, the reason for humans that are not white old men to be racist is those white old men. Sorry if I’m being ignorant here, but I always though racism is common among every demographic. I though it’s more of a thing that’s imprinted onto you and just not challenged because you don’t interact with enough people you have prejudices against. I don’t want to misrepresent your point, but from what I see, a racist black woman can exist without the white man to be the reason for that

      And if we were living in the black matriarchy, we would be having a different conversation. But we live in the white patriarchy, so we are having this one.
      But regardless, sexism, racism, homophobia, and every other types of descrimination have basically the same root, so there is no real way to get rid of one without getting rid of the rest.

        Sorry, I’m just not that informed on that subject, but what is the same root? The old white men? So if we locked all of them up we would be living in a utopia?

          Lmfao, and I get called obtuse… How about do even the most superficial research in to racism and sexism and why they exist before you demand other people do the work for you, that you promptly disregard to continue pushing your own deliberate misunderstanding of the subject you clearly care so little about ? Sealions be sealioning, while those who can spot you miles away and refuse to feed your bullshit get called obtuse…
