Racism is almost always defined by the belief in the superiority of one race over another. It's not defined by "judging people" by making a statement about the generalized privileges of different ethnicities.
Intellectual dishonesty 101.
So if someone says: "those cunning jews control all of the media and shape the public opinion, they are the problem"
Is that racist or not?
It is a statement that is open to empirical investigation and that carries certain implications. One of them is that there is a colllective "the Jews" that are doing some form of controlling by pooling their power together, and that this power serves a "Jewish agenda". Another is that there is a Jewish cunningness -- as if it was an immutable Jewish trait -- which grants them a certain superiority over others. If it turns out that it's not true (that there is no evidence for it), and instead it's an idea that floats around conspiracy theorist groups and racist groups, then we can safely say that it is racist.
It is in fact the case here as this is a common anti-semitic trope. It's in no way equivalent to saying that being white has been a boon throughout history and so has been being a male and that these boons still exist albeit to different degrees than they did at certain other periods in the past. It also doesn't imply that being a white man doesn't carry its own set of challenges or disavantages in some specific situations.

why are you derailing this blog so much.
you and your endless eternal battles in every thread.
I'm not derailing this thread right now, carnism and racism are the focus of this blog entry. Baal is the one who did the derailing early on by bringing up something completely unrelated to the blog. I don't like to be misrepresented so I replied but you're right if you're saying I shouldn't have.

a collective "white men" that are doing some form of controlling by pooling their power together and that this powe serves the patriarchy.
What they do serves the systems that have favoured them, yes. The degree to which this is conscious and organized around is highly debatable. It's only really easy to observe in white nationalist and supremacist circles. Far-right women sometimes come out to say how poorly they have been treated by the men they previously adored.

A little piece of Antifa history and what can we learn from it?
That's some good Toronto antifa history. Meanwhile today in Toronto:

I can actually feel a lot of repressed sexual energy between them, chances are they are both rock hard every time they see the other mention them in their post!
93% Sure!
