>So same color racism does exist?
Yes. If a Black person follows procedures/policies/training/etc. that are rooted in racism. Although it's the difference between systemic racism vs a more blatant sort of racism.
Systemic racism is tricky, because it doesn't involve wearing polo shirts or klan hoods and carrying around tiki torches chanting "we will not be replaced" or some other BS. The systemic variety can be simple prejudice, profiling, or that sort of thing. The only way to combat it is awareness, and spreading that awareness is a fine line to walk as the receptive audience already gets it and those who need to hear it tend to get defensive (especially when the communication is coming from a stranger yelling in your face).
