You're racist for thinking that the word "black" used to refer to something as bad is at all related to dark skinned people.

It's only racist if you are a racist. You brought up skin color where it doesn't matter. Work on yourself.

You're racist

Actually, you're a racist to the bone because everything you see is "very very deep" racism. You turn everyday words into labels that divide people. You just can't see that etymology of a word can have nothing to do with race. You probably can't see that the pain of our black brothers and sisters may, just may, also have come from poverty, prejudice, or in general just class struggles.

You're real racist because you automatically label people from different cultural background as racist, without considering if they have racial bias. Italian has Mano Nera, Japanese has ??, multiple languages have "black market", Chinese has ??,???. Are they all racists? Are they all guilty of slavery of African Americans? If you're not a racist, then you're nothing more than a Jacobin to the bone. When are you going to call for Guillotine on people who disagree with you?

Shame on you.


If they think darker==bad, they are the racist that should be reported

Pardon my ignorance, but what's racist?

Agree, the use of the colour black is also racist too

It's not possible to be racist to black people. It's not racist by definition.

(For context, this is a response to the now-removed parent that said this of Whites.)


When being referred to in the manner described, it's being used as a proxy for race, so that was indeed racist.

You are the one thinking in racist terms not the OP.

You're racist.

You're racist.

You're racist.

It’s still racist to use a group’s skin color as a “shorthand” for problems with a country’s institutions.

It's like you're using the N-word and blaming me for assuming that you are racist.

I’m not racist, I’m just biased against people with dark skin?

You're being racist.

"Racist because it uses the word black negatively"

All blacks are racist too. It's not a big deal. We're not trying to tell you you're a bad person. We're trying to say "this is normal and you're not worse than anyone else, but we do need to acknowledge the problem so we can mitigate it."

You really like using that word, racist. The problem is that's just your opinion. But you seem to be heavily focused on it. I think this is more of a you problem.
