y'all are annoying so let's clear up some things, white people can not experience systematic racism in the US. no matter how poor or abandoned a white person is, it will never be due to oppression or racism. it's literally impossible here.
BUT you can be insanely prejudiced towards a white person. regardless of history, if you tell someone you hate them automatically bc of their skin color, they're probably not going to take it well.
We have to acknowledge that saying you hate white people or discrediting someone's argument solely bc they're white is wrong. But also, most of the time, white people hate minorities bc racism while POC hate white people bc of the oppression they face. There IS a difference.
I wouldn't tell my great grandmas who grew up during segregation and the civil rights era that they aren't allowed to feel some disdain towards white people, because racism is all they've seen from whites.
But in 2020 the best way to ease things is not to immediately discredit or ignore someone bc they are white. We should listen to each other first, and then make individual judgements.
