Are you a racist? Are any of your family or friends?
How do you decide?
If you are surrounded by people filled to the brim with racial hatred for some other group(s) of people and yet you manage to remain mainly neutral, are you racist? Or not?
If you are surrounded by people who seem full of love for all mankind and yet you entertain bad thoughts about some other group(s) of people, are you racist? What if you (believe) your bad thoughts never become actions?
What if you hate on a group of people whom you have never seen and likely never will? Are you racist? If no one else knows you have these feelings, are you still racist?
If you hate on people who have all died a long time ago, are you racist?
If you hate on people who have injured you and yours and folks who seem to you likely to be just as guilty, are you racist?
If you hate on the descendants of folks whose ancestors injured your ancestors, are you racist? What if the injury was only one generation ago? Are you racist?
5 generations?
50?
What if you aren't sure what happened, but you reasonably suspect that your ancestors were injured by the ancestors of some group of folks? If you hate on them, are you racist? If you have bad thoughts about their ancestors but not the living (so much) are you racist?
Is anyone hating on you? Someone you see face to face? How do you know? Is that hate racist? How do you know?
