    racism is not someone acting out a prejudice, otherwise iwould be racist for disliking most so- called white americans but being so- called white would mean im not racist towards them.

    Only a change in human consciousness will ever get rid of racism completely. With that said, I grew up in the racist south, and the south is no longer near as racist as it once was. Not even close. I see most of the racism coming from blacks here, not the whites.

    So racism is not near as bad as it once was, which is a good thing. But there will always be racists, for as long as human ignorance and human nature is still with us. But we can see much less of it. And do. I think this is a great thing, to see such a reduction of it here in the south. Something to be proud of.

    But you know, you see something driven by the same emotions when it comes to conservatives and democrats. That has filled the vaccum left by less racism. And like racism it is based on the base side of human nature and ignorance. The US if filled with petty little human beings of this ilk. But given we are not as intelligent in real terms as we once were, it does make sense.

    its Black Supremacist thinking that says that "black people can't be racist".

    I have encountered lots of racist black people in my life.

    every single person on this planet can be a racist.

    a racist is someone who believes that certain races are inferior, and treats those persons negatively based on those beliefs.

    Semites are probably the most racist of all people. They are also more dishonest so project this onto Whites.

    Always carry a weapon. Fire center of mass until the first thug drops. Continue until everyone is down. Be prepared to reload.

    You have encountered lots of Black BIASED people in your life. Blacks are not racist in the way you are thinking. Whites were the ones who controlled the politics, economics and culture in this country from the very beginning. And from the beginning it was decided that this would be a country for White people and Blacks would be slaves. THAT is racism. And Whites created it. Sorry to burst your bubble.

    What if the "thugs" have guns also? :hmm:

    "Always carry a weapon. Fire center of mass until the first thug drops. Continue until everyone is down. Be prepared to reload."
    Are you better off armed when the criminals have weapons? Situational awareness is important. The closest one with a weapon goes down first. Larger magazine capacities are best. Squeeze off rounds center of mass every time. Make each shot count. Do your best.

    anyone who hates others, judges other, pre-judges others, solely due to their skin color, is a racist.

    its the height of absurdity and idiocy to suggest that a black person cannot be racist.

    Anyone who has the POWER to enforce a political ideology, economic system and culture based on the subjugation and domination of people who are a different race are RACIST. It's about POWER; not who you hate or judge.

    sorry, you don't get to re-define a term simply to fit your racist political agenda.

    everyone can be a racist.

    a black businessman who doesn't want to hire Chinese people cause he thinks they all smell and are greedy, is a racist.

    Probably one of the most racist and dishonest of all posts.

    - - - Updated - - -

    That is not a legitimate definition of racist at all. Racists =/= people who have power.

    His post was perfectly accurate and reasonable. What did you find so amusing about it?

    One racist cop and his little girl hardly represent "racism in America".

    But aside from that ridiculous bit of fauxrage and logic-fail.... who says racism is almost dead?
    It will never die, it is needed. There are a hell of a lot of people who depend on it for an excuse as to why they can't get ahead. Why they should be handed things. How they are being "held down".

    And as we all know...
    Even if racism from the whites and the blacks did actually die.... we would still hear the constant accusations, and race card throwing.

    A Black businessmen who doesn't want to hire a Chinese person is not the kind of power I was thinking of. I was thinking of people who make the laws of the land. Political and economic power that affects everyone. If you don't agree with my definition of racism, that is fine. We will have to agree to disagree.:angel:

    You can do whatever you want, bit I'm not aware of any definition of racist that fits your view.

    Power maybe has to do with the ability to discriminate negatively, but not racism per say. Someone without power can be quite racist. Some with power may not be.

    A black business who doesn't hire the Chinese because he thinks Chinese are lazy or whatever is clearly a racist.

    Prosecuted for what? What laws did they break? Is belonging to a hate group a crime, seems like a fine line when making that call.
    That said if the local community does not want them serving their community they should have them fired, now that I can understand. But being prosecuted for being a moron, I do not think so, half the Nation would be under arrest it that were illegal.

    the chinese are light skinned blacks. the original chinese were dark skinned blacks but due to admixture with mongols and eurasians they became more light skinned and also the climate played a role, its not such a tropical climate in china.
