This reminds me of that famously stupid remark by Spike Lee that blacks are INCAPABLE of being racist. While he tried to explain that by saying that racism is the inherent use of institutional forces to bring to bear hate based on irrational bases like race, I don't buy it. He reasoned that since blacks do not control instiutions then their hate does not have teeth and cannot be compared with white racist hate.
