I ask because Ive taken courses where the teachers contended that racism against whites doesn't really exist because here in the US, mostly whites are the ones who run things.
I think this is complete BS. Racism involves prejudice against someone because of there race, simple and plain, regardless of "whos in power". It cant work only 1 way, and to say otherwise is a cop out. I think that the definition that my teachers have used is pretty laughable and honestly can't see a reasoning to it other than they are just biased themselves.
Do you agree with me or am I a racist bastard?

I would file a complaint about your teacher not only to the university, but to local news and civil rights organizations.

The higher ups would just agree with them. Theres alotta self hating white folks here. Seriously, this is the attitude of educated people employed by colleges here in California and probably all over. Its hard to believe they can say something so racist in itself to define racism. Irony at its finest.
I was in class with some dipshit 1 day and he told a story where he had a black friend who said he never experienced racism and didn't think it was a big deal where he was from. He then proceeded to tell us that the black guy "didnt know it was going on and was wrong". So someone cant even have their own opinion on this issue, even though its subjective. Its like the Republicans and the terrorist boogey man but for the liberals.

Really? Honestly how many people have you seen or heard that really, really hate Obama because of his black half? Im not talking about using a racial slur thrown out there as a pejoritive and not racist context.
Im also not talking about someone on the news from Bumfuck, Idaho on his white supremacist compound.
Also, am not saying people arent racist and dont hate obama cause hes black, im just questioning the prevalence of it.
