I feel like you're misunderstanding the comment I replied to. Yancy is not saying that you think or act in accordance with the opinion that other races are inferior. All he's asking you to recognize is that you're complicit in a society where white people have advantages due to minorities being disadvantaged. This is a case of different definitions of racists/racism. Yes, telling you that you hate black people just because you're white is racist. But asking you to recognize that your skin color affords you advantages over people of color is anti-racist: the first step to dismantling structures of racism (or second-generation bias, whatever) is recognition of their existence and of our obligation, as their unjust beneficiaries, to dismantle them.
I fully understand what he is saying. He is saying that I live in an advantaged position because of my skin color. I am saying that my skin color is not sufficient enough to describe me, nor would anyone else's skin color be. I also understand that this new understanding of racism has become more popular and accepted. I do not agree that this acceptance is wise. Despite my understanding of the concept, I do not accept it. I think that you are having trouble separating my rejection of the argument from not understanding it.
Right. Both of those things are true. It's literally a question of definition. You're saying that racism should be defined as racial prejudice-- fine. All I'm saying is, don't interpret Yancy's article as though he's talking about what you mean when you say racism.He is saying that I live in an advantaged position because of my skin color. Am saying that my skin color is not sufficient enough to describe me, nor would anyone else's skin color be.
