Learn the definition of the word racism, first.

a policy, system of government, etc., based upon or fostering such a doctrine; discrimination.
Quote:
hatred or intolerance of another race or other races.

Black racists matter, just as white and brown racists matter, ignorance is not limited to one color.

The best part of being a human is that you don't have to play games based on social constructs (which race is).
Just don't acknowledge the construct.

This OP is an example of the bandwagon fallacy.

Bandwagon
Appealing to popularity as an attempted form of validation.

My post in context was not an opinion. Black racists do not matter. They hold no power in America.

A Black person could keep telling themself that racial constructs don't exist but that doesn't mean that they won't experience racism in society. Simply ignoring it doesn't make the problem go away.

I don't think I ever claimed that a black racist ruined my life

I'd love to see you try to explain how a white racist ruined yours.

Don't worry, I'll wait.

Actually, it's just more proof that you're wrong and delusional.

If, as claimed, black racists don't matter then neither do racists of any other race. To allow one without protest just makes you a racist, no matter your race.

Well, I can talk about the time I was pulled over for no apparent reason and had my car searched.

Or the time I was called the n-word by ignorant ****s who drove by in their car.

Nothing as life ruining as some of the black youth getting murdered for looking threatening, though. Tell us how a black racist has affected you.

Nope. False equivalency. Learn the definition of racist.
