If Kyle Rittenhouse shooting other white people is condemned as racist, then why is a black man mowing down white people with his car not?

Racism is about power and only those with power can exhibit racist behavior. It doesn't matter what color Rittenhouse's victims were, he was white and therefore it was a racist act. The black perpetrator has no power therefore he cannot have committed a racist act. Racism can only flow downward and accordingly blacks are always beneath whites and therefore never racist. QED.

So are you suggesting that the faster we have black people portray historically white characters in television and film the quicker we can call this a hate crime? If so, “color” me enlightened!

Still doesn’t answer all the black on black [BLEEP] we see in Chicago, though.  I’m sure there is a good excuse. Maybe there’s a bunch of racist black people that hate African Americans or vice versa.   Who really knows.  So hard to keep up these days.
