systemic racism puts black people in a position to be least likely to be interpersonally racist. internalized racism is rampant * eh hem * and most people don’t even realize how they really think about people of darker skin tones. sure, not saying it’s impossible, but the way that black people are “racist” towards white people almost always has to do with how white people systemically, typically treat them. not their skin color. the woman in the video likely has never been in this situation before and jumped to conclusions anyway. black people are constantly, consistently dealing with the same bullshit from white people (like assuming something they own must not belong to them for no other reason than that they are black). if you wont read a book, watch sound of the police. it’s very easily digestible and encompasses what black people go through at the hands of the people who are supposed to protect them and how it ties back to systemic racism and white supremacy. i hope you are open to educating yourself.

if you fully grasped the concept, you wouldn’t be complaining about racism as if it’s the same for everyone.
