Like the guy says whites are the only group that you can speak pure hatred about and not only not be punished for it, you might even get praised 

Leftists extremists have really lost their minds.

Virtually every single "race" has held slaves of other races at one point or another in history however virtually worldwide only "whites" are criticized for it.  Slavery still exists in many parts of the world today yet "whites" are not perpetuating it. 

I'm not downplaying what AA's or other races have went thru regarding racism in the US however claiming only one race can suffer from racism is simply absurd.  The phrase "reverse racism" is a oxy moron.

Kid tells me white people are racist, blacks can only be prejudice.  

Well that’s because the term racism implies systemic prejudice where are the term prejudice implies individual bias. Since this is a white dominated country with institutions developed by whites it stands to reason as it relates to the USA only white people can be racists while all races have people who are prejudice.

Implies.  :lmao:  I don't see the word systemic in the definition. 

Name some systemically racist laws that exist today?

I'll give you a one.   Affirmative action.

I'll grant you that portions of it have been but that's not specific laws.   Very sexist against men as well.   Women get off easier than white men.

It’s a system designed by white people to negatively and disproportionately impact persons of color. That is by definition racism.

White people forced blacks into ghettos , white people made sure they stayed poor and white people focused the majority of our police presence in these ghettos. Then once in the system those without means are unable to afford the same level of adjudication in the system. Without money to pay blood sucking lawyers the system swallows you up for good. It’s a perpetual self serving beast that keeps itself full feasting on poor disadvantaged minorities.
 

Persons of color are far more likely to receive stiffer penalties for identical  crimes than whites. The end
