This is true of you David, and true of other Democrats... but the party itself? Not so much

Among other things I took away from the video, why would especially white leftist adults want to dox minor teenage kids when the video showed the Black Hebrews screaming vile things at both the white kids and the natives? The guy answered the question, they are black so they get a pass. I would not call them terrorists unless they commit, plan, encourage, or raise money for terrorist acts.

Nice try but since blacks are the minority and have little power and privilege they can’t be racist or supremacists by definition.
Racism is the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races

That's not my truth. My truth states that blacks can be racists. Also, Chinese, Japanese, Whites, Indians, Hispanics, etc can be racists.

Little power and privilege? Heck, every time I turn on my television there's one staring at me from the tv. I'll admit that that was the norm in olden days (60s to 80s) but brother, not any more. How many Hispanics do you see on tv? Minuscule if that's a number. So don't come here boo-hooing their status.
...and they can be the most vocal racists and they give us their racist remarks on tv on their own shows without repercussions at all.

Not entirely true. What you're describing sounds more like bigotry.
Racism carries with it the additional proviso of needing to be part of a system purposefully designed to afford members of one race with more opportunity, resources, education, upward mobility, etc over another or other races. Apartheid and Jim Crow were examples of racism.
Bigotry and racism are separate things that each fuels the other. Bigotry can lead to racism and racism is always born out of bigotry.
