How can you say someone doesn't have authority over something they live?

It has always annoyed me when something racist has happened, and someone of another race says it wasn't racist. The thing is, if its not directed at you, naturally you are going to be more skeptical and uncaring, because it doesn't affect you.

Ex: when blacks say something that whites did is racist, whites justify the racist act and say it isn't racist, then they accuse the black person of crying racism and playing the "race card", yet white people have no problem themselves crying racism every chance they get...
Telling someone who is of the targeted race what is or is not racist to them, is like telling a biracial person how they must identify.

When you are not of the targeted race, you really have no authority to decide if something is racist to the targeted race. You see, the problem with most in society is that they assume racism must be KKK, neo nazis, and something straight out of the Jim Crow era. Most will be quick to deny that racism is still strong and rampant. Obama did not prove that racism is gone, the racism directed and still being directed at him proves to at least those of color, what they have always known, and thats racism is still strong.

Biracial people have a complex position with racism. They deal with racism not only as a biracial person (meaning from both sides of their races) but they also deal with racism for the fact that in American society they are black, and being black in America, means you got the most shitty end of the deal.

Some biracials are likelier to shake of the racism they get as a black person because most are raised by their white side and are not taught to really know about it...I certainly wasn't, and from what I have seen a good majority are not.
