Thise maybe tough to understand but help me out here. Backwards racism is when a race (usually white people) is shown no "special" treatment. As in they are considered basic and therefore have no heritage etc... Don't believe me? Think about this:ever see any sort of heritage events for white people? Ever see any sort of special clubs at school for white people? If you try to start a club and they ask what you are, white won't be an answer. White is considered the basic and therefore deserves nothing extra. Another thing, if a white person says something like nigger or even black guy, he's racist, yet white boy is as bad as those two, considered normal. White people are a race and should be treated like one.
White people are to race as white is to color:how many times have you heard someone say:white isn't a color?

The act of insuating that people the likes of Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcom X, both civil rights activists, as well as organizations such as the NAACP, are racist.
The irony of this argument is that it is usually applied by those already harboring racial prejudice, as the subjects in question were a product of, and necessitated by, racial injustice and motivations to correct it themselves.
This may yield the argument that it is injustice that pro-White organizations cannot coexist, but there's a problem with this argument for three reasons:
1. Europeans/Caucasians have never been historically disadvantaged by racism; the irony is that America itself was founded by the extermination and subjugation of other races.
2. As a result of #1, the dominant race of America was European/Caucasion, leaving other races a minority factor and this has not considerably changed in today's day and age in spite of its more multicultural population.
3. Pro-White organizations have a notoriety for asserting the ideology of White supremacy. White Nationalist organizations that have surfaced after the steady decline of the KKK are contended to be a sanitized face for White supremacy, since violent demonstrations of force were no longer acceptable.
This is usually applied by those identifying with the political far right, who are historically anti-civil rights, as the KKK themselves were far right. It should also be noted that moderate conservative Abraham Lincoln caught a lot of flack for his civil rights views by his own party.

reverse racism in action:
Person 1: Isn't it racist that the blacks have the BET channel, i.e. Black Entertainment Channel?
What if white people had a "White Entertainment Channel." Blacks would be screaming about it! Let's make this fair! If we're going to pick and choose, then we need to look at both sides of the fence!
Person 2: Stop bitching. Mostly everything else on tv is targeted towards white people.

When white liberals blame the evil white man for everything, usually for the problems that their failed policies created.
William: "Damn, my property taxes are going up a lot." Josh:"That's because of systematic racism." William:"But I'm white." Josh:"Then your a racist bastard" William:"You're white too. What are you." Josh:"I'm jewish, how dare you cause me of being a racist you Nazi."

Predominantly occurs with Asian females.
Predominantly occurs with Asian females.
Internalized racism involves using racist terms against other members of the same racial/ethnic group; placing higher values on members who appear or act more like the dominant group, i.e. valuing people who appear more 'white'.

A term coined by people of an ethnic or cultural majority to demonstrate the fact that they don't understand the adversity that minorities truly face on a daily basis.
Billy cried "reverse racism" when the black boy called him a 'cracker' since it was not acceptable for Billy to call the boy 'nigger'. It's hard to understand how Billy was offended since no ancestor of his had even been called a 'cracker' as he was savagely whipped by a black man who owned him.
