Thats probably because you are white and never have to deal with racism
A, what you call racism I characterize as prejudice based on fear...fear of this depressed young man before he saw the light and decided to become a responsible American citizen, as opposed to the American terrorist he states he was during his younger days.
Peace.
I agree racism is based on fear but its not fear of depressed young men. Its fear of Black men being able to have the same opportunities that whites have. Racism is a system by which one race owns the opportunities and the institutions that provide those opportunities. They use this position to their betterment while also making sure its to the detriment of a perceived inferior race. This is evident in the laws passed by this country since its foundation. This depressed description is just the latest in a long line of rational by whites. Its ridiculous to assume that whites are not afraid of a Black "responsible American citizen". We know this because when Blacks built thriving communities such as Black Wall Street whites destroyed them.
