Serious question here though, I know you won't be able to keep up.

If racism against whites is admissiable then wouldn't that mean racism against anyone is admissible?

This isn't the 17th Century where African tribes were enslaving their own people and selling them to the Dutch to begin what we now know as the African slave trade.

Why not, right?

A few colourful beads are worth at least ten good slaves, right?

I bet you guys would be the guys that work for the guys that slave the other guys while they think, "he's our colour, why isn't he in chains?"

I guess we won't know until you are property of your local correctional facility.

Ah, another one of my fanboys.

Racist?

Really?

You've been watching too many of Trump's Presidential debates!

Now, you too are projecting your weaknesses!

You guys hate Trump for some reason, I don't know why, you both are the exact same to me.

You are correct. I'm not a bigot, I have friends based on their actions not their skin colour.

I must have learned something from MLK instead of disgracing him.

I wonder what he would have to say, would he feel his death meant anything?

I know MLK would not be happy, I know he would feel his death was in vain.





Racists aren't smart. Look at Trump, you two should be race hating buddies!!!





The only good Nazi is a dead one.





Even MLK thinks he is disgraceful, especially the photo he posted. MLK would never endorse that.





Trump just needs to be impeached and brought to trial. Calling for his death makes you no better than him, in fact you two should be race hating buddies!



I realize that the racial bigots here, regardless of their colour, are the problem. Until they grow up and change thier behavior we will always live in Trump's America.

That's right, your actions are keeping things the way they are instead of making them better.

Sounds like someone is having a temper tantrum, are you hungry?

Maybe you need a nap.
4 paragraphs to tell me how you are totally not racist. i totally believe you.

Racist is defined in this section as someone who disagrees with you on something. Soon the word will lose all meaning.
Oops. One might say your robe is showing.

Racism is the belief that a race is inherently better than another. In order for racism to matter, racists have the power to act against the race or races of supposed inferiority. I use the word racism in context of belief and power. In the US, racism is solely a mental illness of half or more white men and many white women.

One question I have, does support of US systemic racism by speech or deed define a person as racist?

I'm not aware of recent posts where racist was used in the manner you speak. Sometimes that word is misapplied, such as when @Enigma says something about racism against whites. That is false in the US. Probably England too. I'd be willing to debate England, where the biggest canker sore on that society is classism. We have had British post here that falsely claim the two are the same. White Australians who post here are racist as all fuck.

Definition of racism:

rac·ism
ˈrāˌsizəm/
noun
  1. prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.
    "a program to combat racism"
    synonyms: racial discrimination, racialism, racial prejudice, xenophobia, chauvinism, bigotry, casteism
    "Aborigines are the main victims of racism in Australia"
    • the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races.
      noun: racism
      "theories of racism"
Based upon that definition, I'm not sure that African Americans can be deemed "racist" towards whites based on our history, and the constructs of our society. I suppose they could be racist towards other ethnicity's, but not white people.

They most certainly are capable of being prejudiced towards others though. Every race/nationality/ethnicity is capable of holding prejudices. I've pointed out before that a lot of African Americans are prejudiced towards the LGTBQ community. 80% of blacks voted to ban gay marriage in California in 2008. Is that any better than a white person being racist towards a black person? I don't feel that it is, but that view is not shared by many others here.

^agree with all the above.

Some people differentiate the simple definition you list from what African Americans experience as "pernicious racism". They define pernicious racism as the effect a racist has when given power over the supposed inferior race. In any case, I tend to just say racism when I mean pernicious racism. Who cares if somebody harbors a belief of racial superiority when they can do nothing about it?

Is a white person calling an African American the n-word in its full meaning an act of racism? What about racist jokes?

Why is it OK to you that Bernie Sanders says "people are tired of political correctness rhetoric"? We all know that he means white people when he says people.

I don't see why you connect homophobic beliefs with racism. The two are independent of each other.

So, one race can use racial slurs but another race cannot?

So, you're telling me that because of the colour of their skin the can't hate another person based on the colour of their skin?

Are you one of Trump's advisers?

Spoken like a true bigot.

Once in my life I didn't make enough money to live in a neighborhood where people didn't throw dirty diapers in the streets. Living conditions were horrendous.

I was the only Caucasian living there, no one trusted me, everyone hated me.

Little did they know.

It's cool though, I understand what fear can do to people.
That's not racism. Not even close.
