idk how it even came up in the comment section, but it is not a thing. don't worry i will absolutely explain why, so please listen, this is important. firstly. do not confuse racism with prejudice. the two are SEPERATE. prejudice against white people exists, it absolutely does. but with BIPOC( Black, Indigenous, People of Color) prejudice against white people does not from a place of ignorance and misguided superiority. ours comes from a place of FEAR and knowledge of the actions of white people against different races throughout history. BIPOC have never and will NEVER be able to force racist experiences onto a white person. racism is upheld by institutions and structures created BY WHITE PEOPLE, for the sole benefit OF WHITE PEOPLE. there are BENEFITS to racism when you are the oppressor enforcing it. white people cannot suffer from something they BENEFIT from. ALSO. a white person getting called a cracker is not oppression. there is no historical value to the word cracker. cracker does not categorize white people as subspecies, it does not name them as only 3/5. human. it's intent is to shock white people by putting a negative aspect over the whiteness they get praised for. that's it. if u have genuine confusion over this, i am absolutely willing to explain, but people need to stop conflating the actions of BIPOC and white people as if they hold the same impact and consequences, because they do NOT. i, as a black person, will NEVER be in a position where I can use privilege given to me by the system that governs my country to dehumanize white people. that system that upholds racism works for them and ONLY them.
