No it is not. This is not the innocent, pristine untouched garden of eden before Adam and Eve ate the apple. This is a society where the ancestors of one group of people auctioned off the ancestors of another group of people like cattle. This is a society where 38 years ago, the KKK last lynched someone. This is a society, where 30% of all black males in Alabama permanently lost their right to vote. This is a society where you get a slap on the wrist if you are a rich white coke-head but get years in prison if you happen to be black, poor and are caught with a bong.
The counter-example to your argument: Imagine a company with a serious sexual harrassment problem, where men abused and raped female staff. You argue that in such a situation, giving a voice to a female victim is sexism! No!

- Veelox 6y agojohn_alan asserted that hiring where having a specific skin color is required is racist hiring. Your response is black people have been treated poorly so it isn't racism. Your argument more reads like a justification for treating people different based on race rather than this specific action isn't racist. Would you be willing to give an alternative definition of racism?
