By arguing black people can be racist against non-whites you’ve already admitted racism exists not merely as a system of oppression, but as prejudice too.
So yes, black people can be racist against white people, just not in the comically evil ways that white conservatives say they can.

No, that doesn’t follow. Oppressed people absolutely can be active and even willing participants in the systemic oppression of their own people.
Depends on whether you’re saying that every act of prejudice is comparable to the historic weight of hundreds of years of racism as a system. A slave being prejudiced against the slaveowner is not an act of racism. It holds no difference to a trans person being prejudiced against a terf.
These acts of prejudice shouldn’t be elevated to acts of hate. They’re the oppressed lashing out at their oppressor.
I’m obviously not saying prejudice is on the same level as hundreds of years of oppression. I don’t know how you could even extrapolate that from my comment.
