Don t try to redefine a word

You got called out for being racist against a white guy earlier today. Your defense? You pulled mental gymnastics trying to redefine the word to excuse your behavior. You absolutely panicked and I'm not going to lie, it was fun to watch. Thinking was never your strong suit growing up. I thought I saw smoke coming out of your ears.
"Radical discrimination!" You cried. "Not racism!"
Nope. Circle definition. And how is that any better? Honestly? You just told on yourself!
Then you pulled the 'whites have power' card to define racism. When I asked you to find a definition of racism with the power structure thing involved, you told me your phone had died so you couldn't. Likely story considering you always freak out about keeping it fully charged. No problem considering I had my phone on me and showed her the definitions myself. I'm also waiting to hear the definitions you claim later when you have access to the internet.
And, let's face it, even if you found a definition that included the power structure thing, it would not negate the fact you just discriminated against someone for the color of their skin. Singling someone out because of their skin color is racist. Attributing beliefs, good or bad, to a person because of what other people did is racist.
Also, YOU'RE WHITE, and with that power structure excuse, did you not think that one through? You are an individual that is not in a position of power. That guy probably wasn't either. You have no control over what people in power can and can't do. You can only account for yourself. Being nasty to other white people isn't going to change anything, nor does it make you a good person. Stop being nasty and treat others the way you want to be treated.
(This was my sister, BTW. The 'WOKE EXTREME DEMOCRAT'. I just call her crazy and misinformed. She's probably seething somewhere right now trying to figure out what to send me.)
