I was having a conversation with a few of my friends last night about what exactly defines racism. There was a debate about wether or not racism existed outside of systematic racism, and if so, what that looked like, and what the implications of that would be. As we were discussing, one of my friends, a white male, started to get upset that he felt no one was on his side or shared his opinion. He then said quite sarcastically, "Damn.I guess white people don't get to have an opinion about race then".
