In order for Blacks. Latinos, Asians, and Native Americans to be racist we have to have power. And we never really had any power to impose our views against whites.
3 things that males racism:Impostion, Institutional Arrangement, and Idealogy.
Imposition:Forceing yourself on someone or a group of people culturally, physically, and mentally which white people have done in the past.
Idealogy:A set of ideas used to justify impostion and instutional arrangement. For example Slavery. the One Drop Rule, Jim Crow, and the Anit-Miscongentation laws.
Institutional Arrangement: A system of social structure which gives an advantage to one group over the other.
There is no such thing as "reverse racsim" all that is bullcrap. In order for there to be racsim against whites Blacks would have to put them through slavery and discrimnation for 400 years. And racsim is not words, so just because someone uses a racial slur doens't mean that they are racsit that means they are a bigot.

Sure, non-whites can be bigots and be prejudice but we can never be racists.

Awesome! Thanx for posting.
I am so tired of this question being asked!
Although I do feel for people who ask these questions I wish they would become more educated. I wish they would put all that effort they use in complaining towards education or fighting for something that matters.

That's not true. Anybody can be racist. Racism is discriminating against someone because of their race, and plenty non-whites do it. Racism is not having power or putting a race through horrible things like slavery. I do agree, "reverse-racism" makes no sense. But that's because the reverse of racism would be tolerance. However non-whites can be racist against whites, or even other types of non-whites. When I was in kindergarten I was one of 2 white girls in the entire school. The rest were black. And let me tell you, there were some racists in that school. Don't try and tell me it doesn't exist. I lived through all kinds of torture and discrimination because of my skin color.
And please drop the slavery thing. Yes, it was horrible. But it happened waaaaaay before you were even born. You've never worked a cotton field in your life. You did not live that life and nobody in America has for a long time now. You can't continue to resent an entire race (whites) for something their ancestors did to your ancestors. It just doesn't make sense and continues to breed intolerance. I suggest you stop being so ignorant. Look around you. We aren't living in that time anymore. In fact, you never did. Get over it already.

Explain then the racism I hear of that doesn't even involve a white person... That sure isn't love.
I think you are confused. Or rather young still.
