Ok..QQ...so why are you using this as an example of how Black people can be racist?

OK, THAT EXPLAINS IT...MY APOLOGIES I-KHAN. I seriously thought that you were smoking something, but now that I know your age it explains everything. You have much to learn young brother. We have not been at war for 500 years as many would mislead you to think. Our people have been at battle for close to 3500 years with the Islamic slave trade being the longest unspoken and ignored slave trade up to this very day.
Only amongst themselves, as was indicated in OLDIES' sorority example. But even that "power" is self-defeating, and illusionary at best.
uplift19 said:I disagree with the idea that there is a such thing as racisim within any one "race." How can black people be racist among themselves? The brown paper bag test was discrimination based on complexion, not merely because one is Black. Hue is the factor, not "racial" identify.
Someone told me once he was discriminated against by Black people (he is mixed, a whole 'nother story) because he went into a shoe store, looked at some expensive shoes, and was told to look at the price on the bottom. How is that racism??? Classism, maybe. Ageism, maybe. But the factor of judgment is not race.
