>Racism= race prejudice + power.
Agreed. But as TW implied, "power" is difficult to define.
>Because, in this country, people of >color do not have (I >shuld say it to be >clear) _institutional power_ people of >color are _incapable_ of being >racist.
That's flat-out wrong. Of course, people of color don't share the same amount of "institutional" power that affluent white men have, but it certainly exists.
The African-American Church has a great deal of power. AND, in my opinion, that power has been used many times in a racist way.
That's one example, but there are many. Our society conditions towards racism, and it conditions everyone.
So we all (including people of color) have a to fight it in others and in ourselves, because we're all susceptible.
>And it is no sin for >people of color not to >like or to even hate >the dominant culture from time >to time.
I, of course, disagree. For the reasons above, along with my respect for freedom, common sense, solidarity, etc.
>At least I >don't think so because that >kind of emotion is _healthy_.
Yeah, MC Ren. What a healthy person .
I'm assuming you at least would condemn acting on hatred, right?
