100% correct and support by the definition of the words racist and racism.
"It's not that the word racist – meaning a belief that one's race is superior to another – doesn't adequately define the feelings of certain people in the world. Racial prejudice and racism, is certainly alive and often thought to be rising in America and Europe. But I refuse to believe the word "racist" is an adequate characterization of everyone and everything that it has been attributed to as of late."

Debate: The words racist and racism are used too loosely in society | Debate.org
1.) It has already shown that part isn't needed
2.) Even if it was, how is thinking one's own race doesn't possess that flaws of the other races not the same as thinking ones own race is superior, thats just silly.
Anyway by definition the correct answer is C and nothing can change that. Do people use those words improperly and are there people who cry foul when there is none? Yes of course but in THIS example both men are racist and practicing racism.
Jesus Christ! 4 people actually think that the black guy is not a racist!!?? ****ing unbelievable...

I'm sure your "feel" that way and you have that opinion it just doesn't make it so :shrug: I'll be sticking to the facts and you are free to have your feelings.
So you have no facts, and can't refute the facts I presented you with. But you do need the last word? Just want to confirm.

You haven't presents ONE single fact that make the two guys in the scenario not racist. Thanks.
Simple question. Which guy is racist and practicing racism?
A.) Black guy owns Ford Dealership, he won't hire whites because he thinks all whites are dishonest
B.) White guy owns a Ford Dealership, he won't hire blacks because he thinks all blacks are lazy
C.) Both A and B
C of course since based on your question its the only right answer, claim otherwise is a purely dishonest, uneducated and retarded claim.
You desperately want to believe a black hating whites has the same social impact as a white hating blacks. It doesn't.
When a black says he hates whites, it means nothing to me, as a white. I don't need to worry about the perpetuation of injustice or disadvantage against whites as a whole. It's pissing in the wind. I can safely ignore it.
When a white says he hates blacks, it's a threat to blacks as a whole. It supports the perpetuation of injustice and disadvantage against blacks as a whole. It cannot be safely ignored by anyone, it harms society.
This is why criminal elements of whites do not riot at instances of perceived injustice. There is no threat to whites as a whole with which to rationalize rioting as an act of protecting the group.
Thus, racial bigotry is an individual act whereas racism is a social construct. Racial bigotry does not rise to racism unless it supports a system of injustice.
