Let's Review What Racism Actually Is

[Donald H]

American Indian too. Some races never left the Stone Age

So you hate them for it?

 

[Donald H]

Wrong liar

It could be wrong but I found that it's backed up by other sources.

 

[Donald H]

Because the left won't stop bringing it up. You want to apply labels and expect us to just STFU and accept it

That which your political left chooses to do is something I have no control over. I can only say that the left in Canada isn't doing the same.
But then in the opinion of many Americans, Canada is all left and commie anyway.

Since there seems to be a lot of confusion about it nowadays and especially now on here. This is the official definition of racism.


Racism: prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized.




Now let me also point out what it doesn't say. Nowhere in there does it say prejudice or discrimination white people have against black people. Racism is racism folks. That's why to me reverse racism doesn't exist because it's still just as racist to be prejudice and discriminatory towards white people because of their skin. Enough said.

Leftists conflate stereotyping with racism.

Stereotyping isn't racist it is your body's natural defense mechanism. Like seeing a tall person and believing they likely play basketball. Seeing a fat person and believing they are lazy.

Racism is believing someone is inferior to you because of something they cannot control such as skin color.

That definition sucks as it uses the word it attempts to DEFINE as part of its description!

Wanna know what racism is? Plain and simple:

Racism is the practice of being prejudiced for or against a person in a demonstrable way-- treating or acting upon that person to their advantage or disadvantage based solely on nothing they have done but preconceived stereotypes one holds for members of that race without any actual ties to anything that individual themself have really said or done.

Thus racism is demonstrated bias that is ACTED ON--- internal, mental bias alone is not enough to qualify if never acted on. To be racist, one needs to act EXTERNALLY for or against another person for no other reason than their race.

You're right, that one is a LOT better!!

It's racism when you see a black person who is obese and apparently lazy to your eyes, then you brand all black people with the same label.

That is done consistently on this forum by those who can only be described as racists.

There are other reasons why some people are racists but there's never been a serious discussion in which to debate the issue.

For the sake of not tarring only Americans with a racism brush, there are racists in Canada too.

LOL how, on a message board, do we see fat or lazy with a poster?

You've already made a fool of yourself with me today. I'm not expecting anything better.
Come back when you're ready, or just don't.
