acism is about more than sheer majority though, for instance, during South African Apartheid the whites were the minority yet they were still able to significantly oppress the black majority.I had asked a long time ago if on a microscopic level, if a neighborhood, or even city where the majority power was controlled by blacks (i.e. Baltimore; 60%+ Black) if it was possible for a race other then whites to be racist---according to this philosophy. I disagree with DD's assertion but if that is his belief then it has to run both ways.... right? While white population may by the majority population for the time being, trends tend to indicate that won't always be the case. And the day it isn't, then is it safe to say that white's can no longer be racist? Or would they have to give up all power?
There are plenty of areas and industries where the majority of the "power" and "influence" is not held by white interest. HBCU's and hip hop would be two examples. Can the people within those "habitats" be racist towards non-blacks? Or do they just fall under the guise of "hate" and "ignorance". And if that is the excuse----I would like a clear definition of what exactly racism is because too often I see similar actions defined differently depending on who is responsible for them or where they occur.
Further, while you're seeing the public face of hip hop being mostly made up of blacks, there still significant control behind the scenes being wielded by white producers and executives of the record labels.
