Black People Can Not Be Racist

It Is Systemic and It Will Not Benefit Them

EXODUS 1:8-15
8 Then a new king, to whom Joseph meant nothing, came to power in Egypt. 9 “Look,” he said to his people, “the Israelites have become far too numerous for us. 10 Come, we must deal shrewdly with them or they will become even more numerous and, if war breaks out, will join our enemies, fight against us and leave the country.”

11 So they put slave masters over them to oppress them with forced labor, and they built Pithom and Rameses as store cities for Pharaoh. 12 But the more they were oppressed, the more they multiplied and spread; so the Egyptians came to dread the Israelites 13 and worked them ruthlessly. 14 They made their lives bitter with harsh labor in brick and mortar and with all kinds of work in the fields; in all their harsh labor the Egyptians worked them ruthlessly.

15 The king of Egypt said to the Hebrew midwives, whose names were Shiphrah and Puah, 16 “When you are helping the Hebrew women during childbirth on the delivery stool, if you see that the baby is a boy, kill him; but if it is a girl, let her live.”

As we read in the Bible the Israelites were hated by the Egyptians they were treated unfairly they worked for nothing and were enslaved,  They were a strong nation of people and they grew stronger in number because of God.  Pharoah became very fearful of them growing stronger and he decided to put more pressure on them by increasing their workload and putting slave masters over them, that were of their own people to help keep them under control.  That was for their own benefit so that they could build them stores to keep them rich and in power.  They thought with such harsh work and labor their number of people would decrease in population but instead they increased so much that Pharaoh decided to kill every male child of the Israelites to decrease the population.  This way Pharaoh  and his people could remain rich and powerful.  We as black people can't be racist because it will not benefit our people, we have no control over money, government or resources to where it would cause us to alter the lives of people.

Beverly Daniel Tatum, PH.D. from her book "Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria?"  states from the ' "Portraits of White Racism David Wellman argues convincingly that limiting our understanding of racism to prejudice does not offer a sufficient explanation for the persistence of racism.  He defines racism as a system of advantage based on race' " "In illustrating this definition, he provides example after example of how Whites defend their racial advantage-access to better schools, housing, jobs-even when they do not embrace overtly prejudicial thinking. Racism cannot be fully explained as a expression of prejudice alone".
