President Donald Trump!
racism against whites very much exists.
isn't the "narrative" that whites are the only ones with the capability to be racist?
because racism is a show of power and nonwhites have "less power", therefore they can't be racist or what the hell ever?

Pretty much. I reserve isms for measurable detriment to a group on a large scale. Some people call those systemic isms, but I prefer bigotry as a general term for non-systemic devaluation of people based on their membership in a group.
Individual white people experience bigotry, but except in very limited contexts racism against white people does not exist. We don't experience it most of the time.
So, consider yourself lucky?

He says things that connect with poor and middle class people
Basically playing on the fears of swinging white democrat voters, heck! the same ploy works here in Australia with conservative governments
Those @%#! white people.
Well I didn't imply that?
Oh come on, you have a history of it.

LOL Conservatives are whining about "anti-white racism" again.
Can I be both a socialist and a conservative?

Actually its not just a power differential but incorporates sociocultual historic subjugation and an unwritten class system designed to create an invisible apartheid
Nonwhites internalise this and obviously don't get why we can't see what they are going through

Had to look that up.... Nazis, figures
No, more along the lines of DarthMetaKnight. A few years ago I came up with the idea of money being distributed more evenly and everybody helping everybody else. My teacher told me that's what socialism is. I would rather it be a communal agreement rather than something imposed by government. It would be best if it existed worldwide. A pipe dream that one day everyone would suddenly get tired of both greed and poverty.

What it boils down to is, if you're white and you're not a left swinging liberal, you're a Nazi. period. end of story. That's the ideology, the propaganda, the brainwashing.

That how racism has been redefined. In addition racism now encomposses a lot more hate and prejudice then just against black people.
I will continue to use racism to describe prejudice, stereotyping against a person of another race, and use it for racial prejudice/descrimination only. Society will judge my use the antiquated defintion of racism because I am a privileged, cisgengendered, straight, white male. Nah I am just aspie (sorry, person with aspergers) about defining and catagorizing things.

Which is why I'm of the opinion that pushing niche, ideologically redefined variants of incendiary terms and phrases on people with ASDs can be considered to be a form of ableist abuse.
Racism is racism. Those who want to factor in "power" should consider all forms of power in all relevant circumstances. If your words have the power to affect others, you have power. Period. The assertion that ""People of Color" can't be racist" because "institutional power" is doubly racist. It carries the bigotry of low expectations as well as excusing and promoting genuine expressions of hatred against white people for the crime of being born a wrongskin.
Anyone who peddles that nonsense yet considers themselves to be "anti-racist" is deluding themselves.

Had you proposed this in the 1950s you would have been arrested as a communist
In some instances, perhaps.
Many people espoused these sorts of ideas in colleges/universities even during the McCarthy Era.
It's more like-----if they wanted to dig dirt on you as a famous person with Communist leanings.
An ordinary person probably would have remained off the radar, as long as they didn't blatantly espoused the overthrow of the government.
