That's totally valid.

I'm a proponent of critical race theory which makes it easy to agree with what you just said, I just think that people just take it too far in the wrong direction (and are ironically uncritical of their own views once they reach that point, as I love to point out). Instead of saying that African Americans can't be racist, say that racism from African Americans isn't reinforced by social dynamics and as a result, is less likely to go by unchecked.

Or if you're talking to neo-nazis directly, just tell them that white people are just better at racism. They'll high five and be on with their day.
