The arguments that racists use often contradict each other or would not work the other way round.

1. Racism is dead – Racism is natural and common to all societies.

2. I do not see colour – my best friend is black.

3. Black History Month is racist – teaching white history the rest of the year is not.

4. Whites owned slaves ? They were not cruel and immoral, it was the times! – Whites freed slaves ? See how kind-hearted and moral they are!

5. White scientists measure bones for over a hundred years to try to prove that blacks are closer to apes – Whites have Neanderthal genes but blacks do not? Crickets.

6. That Africans got their civilization from whites and use white inventions shows that whites have more intelligence – that whites got their civilization from Africa and used African inventions proves nothing.

7. High average scores on IQ tests prove whites have more intelligence – whites should be judged as individuals, making general statements about them is racist.

8. High rates of street crime prove that blacks have criminal tendencies – whites should be judged as individuals, making general statements about them is racist.

9. Whites commit most of the crime – blacks are the ones who bring crime into white communities.

10. We know blacks are naturally violent because of street crimes – multiple continental genocides prove nothing about the violent nature of whites. That would be racist!

11. Whites have a rational fear of blacks because of their high murder rate – whites murder whites at a rate six times higher than blacks yet are feared way less.

12. Saying bad things about whites shows that you hate them, that you just want to make them look bad – saying bad things about blacks is merely stating the truth, something that the people on this blog need to wake up to.

13. High rates of out-of-wedlock birth among blacks prove they suffer from social pathologies – High rates of out-of-wedlock birth among whites prove nothing, even when they pass the levels seen as pathological among blacks.

14. Whites got to where they are through hard work – that blacks were slaves for hundreds of years magically does not affect where they are.

15. Pointing out racism is playing the race card – pointing out reverse racism is righteous indignation.

16. White American IQ tests written in English prove that Africans have low intelligence – Tanzanian IQ tests written in Swahili would prove nothing about the intelligence of White Americans.

17. Disrespecting someone because of their race is racist – calling blacks the n-word should be allowed.

18. I got beat up by blacks at high school – police brutality against blacks is no big deal.

19. People should not be judged by the colour of their skin but by the content of their character – police profiling is not racist.

20. I’m not racist but ….

The fallacy behind most of these is that whites can be judged in a different way than blacks – yet the people who make these sort of arguments do not think they are being racist.
