Joy Behar: Racism won’t end until black people run everything
[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] The View co-host Joy Behar argued that racism in the United States would not come to an end until systems of oppression were broken down and black people run everything in the country.
Good idea. Let the least successful 12.5 percent of the population run everything.
"When I talk about racism, I talk about a system of racism in this country that affects housing, that affects politics, that affects education. It’s a system of racism," the 76-year-old host said Tuesday. "And if you are a minority in this country, you are more a victim of racism, so it’s hard to be a racist when you are a victim of racism."

"They don’t understand the difference between racism and bigotry. Black people can be bigoted like anybody else, but when you’re talking about racism in this country, until black people are running everything," she said before Whoopi Goldberg cut her off to joke, "We came close!"

Behar added that the systems of racism needed to be destroyed and that the systems were "the concept" of racism.

Behar's comments were a clarification of a statement she made Monday, saying, "It's outrageous and stupid to call a black person a racist."

#1 I'm amazed at the people who claim to be the most enlightened regarding racism, who insist that black people should be held to a lower standard than the rest of us.

#3 South African president Cyril Ramaphosa and his cabinet would appear to agree with Ms. Behar.

#4 Joy Behar is certifiably crazy. Some of the most virulent racists I've ever encountered were Blacks.

#10 #4 yes, that is my experience also. Most but not all. Then if you think you can overcome that title with them, never. They classify skin color among themselves also. Very dark skinned is lower type, light skinned is barley tolerated. They will judge you in a heartbeat. Most of my experience was in DC. I however was around for the riots. The children were quick to act on what their parents were saying or doing.

#11 Racism won't end until Jim Crow laws return, enforced by the state and ensured by citizen militias.

#12 Since according to the Dems disagreeing with a black politician can only be done by racists how would this end racism?
