that's more complicated than many would think; if Amy Schumer had a history of being racist towards Will, I wouldn't bat an eye; rich white women get away with too much crap (and in Amy's case, two self-admitted cases of sexual assault)

racism is discrimination based on skin color... if a white guy has no power over a black woman, how can he possibly discriminate?
I'm not telling you what racism is Tree
you just tell me what you think it is

But you're also saying it's impossible for a black woman to have higher social status(?) than a white man, because of the possibility of him perpetuating racism?

there are lots of categories of social status; finance isn't the only one, and they overlap in complicated ways

So which social status am I not privy to? If a black woman is rich, has lots of friends and family, no problems. What is left?

You're telling me there's not one black person who doesn't face racism? It's virtually impossible?
