Anti-Majority Racism

The practice of denigrating the Race or Ethnicity of those who are a majority of the citizenship, a civilization or a Country!

Example: An African American who's Ethnic population is only 13.4% (2022) Referring to a 76.3% (2022) white majority member of the ethnic group in the United States as a Racist and uses words such as white supremacy, white supremacist, white rage, cracker, etc. and who teaches Critical Race Theory.
That is "Anti-Majority Racism" for calling me (white man/woman) a Racist!
I am not a white supremacist! That is "Anti-Majority Racism" for calling me that!

Late anti-racism

The advanced stage of unmanaged anti-racism in which the activists of previously oppressed groups, being no longer finding anything that really oppresses these groups, begins fabricating and creating fake oppression to continue the need for their own existence. Often to the determination of the groups who previously held power and members of said previously oppressed group who are against the fake outrage.

Features: Unjust firings, discrimination in the work place, creating ineffective social services, restricting the sale of "offensive" cultural & national heritage, riots, invasion of people's personal lives, and punishment (and ultimately enslavement) of the unbelievablers.
A: Did you hear that Alexanderia is burning down the court to build her new fortified megamansion?

B: what, she's using to outrage to further her self interests?

A: Yes, another example of why late anti-racism is a horrible ideology live under.

A: Did you know that Karl Marx statues are getting taken down because he was a racist?

B: Haha, late anti-racism strikes again!

Racism

Racism is a system in which a dominant race believe they are superior and benefit from the oppression of other races - whether they want to or not.

We don't live in a society where every racial group has equal power, status and opportunity.

Yes, white people all over the world throughout history have experienced slavery and persecution but have not been enslaved, colonised or forced to segregate on the scale that black people have. They do not face housing or job discrimination, police brutality, poverty or incarceration at the levels that black people do. This is not to say that they do not experience things like poverty and police brutality at all but again, not on the same scale - not even close.

Racism also crosses religious and cultural boundaries. Islamophobia is racism mixed with cultural intolerance. Islamophobia targets markers of moslem identity. Evident in how perpetrators of Islamophobic hate crime disproportionately target visibly moslem women, in the same way that racism often targets people for the colour of their skin. Islamophobes often target Sikhs because Sikhs wear turbans, wrongly believing only moslems wear turbans.

Racism isn't one race hating another, that's something you tell kids, i.e. when kids ask where do babies come from, you explain it at a level they understand, you don't get too technical.

Unfortunately many people never look into racism and their understanding of racism never advances beyond the kindergarten definition.
Racists implement systems that privilege the dominant race at every conceivable social, political and economical opportunity.

When black people are rejected from obtaining loans they cannot build wealth for future generations. When they are refused home loans to move into white neighbourhoods, they remain in poor neighbourhoods with depressed infrastructure, their kids go to underfunded overcrowded schools, drop out and with no job prospects, many end up in jail. Upon release they cannot get decent paying jobs, they remain in poor areas, their kids go to underfunded overcrowded schools, the cycle of poverty continues generation after generation. That is the reality of racism.
