Is This Racism, Or Not?

I ask because I'm often told by rabid lefties that only white people can be racist, as racism requires some sort of "power imbalance" and no one but whites has any power in this country.

So again I ask, were these texts racist?

Two members of the Boston School Committee, the governing board of the Boston Public Schools, have resigned due to the revelation they had shared racially charged text messages...

At a meeting last fall, the former allegedly had messaged the latter “I hate WR” (West Roxbury), to which Rivera responded she was “sick of westie whites.”

Oliver-Davila replied “Me too I really feel Like saying that!!!!”

ABC News notes the texts were sent during deliberations over whether the city should drop an entrance exam requirement for certain schools.

“Best school committee meeting ever. I’m trying not to cry,” Oliver-Davila wrote. “Wait until the white racists start yelling at us,” Rivera texted back. “Whatever. They’re delusional,” responded Oliver-Davila.

Perhaps there's a difference between "racist" and "racially charged"?

What's even worse is to read the comments made by these race grifters as they got caught. One is a bit remorseful, but the other is unrepentant.

Anyone who thinks only white people have internal biases need to watch this video. I will warn you one guy uses some pretty rough language. But it demonstrates how everyone comes with their own experiences and sometimes you don't know what you don't know.

Remember when everybody listened to everybody's music? I had Willie Nelson, Fifth Dimension, Chicago, Earth Wind and Fire, Tower of Power all on records. Maybe music will save us. Maybe we can start to recognize that we SHARE more than the elites trying to put us in neat little cubbies.
