What I get out of that is ....... Its ok for minorities to be "racist" because they experience racism themselves ..... sounds moronic.

There is a difference between grappling cardio and running/hiking cardio. I'm sure you know this, but just in case, now you know. Next time you're in Utah, we can invite Conan over and we can have a three-way pump off.
Gross.
Riiiiiight.
Fifty bucks says I know what you'll be thinking about when you and your girl Palmala are getting it on tonight.
Thank goodness we have wealthy, white men like George Will to tell us racism is not a serious issue. Otherwise, we'd only have the people victimized by it, as opposed to those who benefit from it.
What you got out of it is moronic. To me, that would have been a clue that I didn't fully understand what was posted, and I would have asked for clarification. Obviously, you don't roll that way.

Well thats exactly what you wrote. So write different words that make it mean what you wanted it to mean instead.
Obviously, it was not what I wrote, or I would not have objected to your characterization.
Your rewrite: people who don't experience a phenomenon and have not studied it are poor judges of when it occurs.
People who deal with it on a more personal level develop a persecution complex. This colors their own views on racism and when it occurs. This often makes them poor judges as well.
In the abstract, it can certainly happen that people who are regularly persecuted will occasionally see persecution where none exists (although more commonly, it would be persecution where it exists but is not intended as such). In the particular context of this discussion, which is about why it's generally not meaningful when white people refer to minorities as being the real racists on a position, it's not a significant issue.
Oof...

This is accurate. People are able to truly step back and distance them from the situation are generally more able to give an accurate perspective on it.
