I hear this word more often than any other word in the American lexicon. I've been called a racist a number of times, mainly by individuals who disagreed with my assessment of something or someone, and I've always been left wondering exactly what that word means and whether or not it accurately applies to me. I honestly don't know.

Another word that I hear a lot, and that I make occasional use of, but I am at a loss to suggest a universal definition for, is, n!gger. This word is considered so offensive I am forced to modify its spelling even for the purpose of academic discussion (such as this).

So in the interest of arriving at a more accurate understanding of the meaning of these two controversial words I will appreciate learning what others mean when they use them.

A better question would be, what is a "race"?

I've run a few but as near as I can tell that is the only kind there is. Genetically we are all a Hodge podge cluster
 
Racism is being bigoted toward people on account of their color or ethnicity. You must know that.
By definition, you must think your race is superior or its just bigotry.
You must know that.

The word, race, when used in referring to ethnicity, is an awkward substitute for the proper term, which is, sub-species.
 
Blacks are the most racist ethnic group there is.....
I have seen considerable evidence that supports your observation.
You must listen to hate radio and watch Fox News.


You are confused, Elroy, hate radio pretty much died out years ago--- ---very few people were interested in tuning into liberals ranting all day long. Fox News is where people tune into to get away from the hate-mongering media of the Left.

I certainly can see perhaps superficial differences of different "races". A white man with European ancestry is observably different in appearance than a black man of African ancestry. One group sunburns much easier than the other.
 
While Europeans were building great cathedrals and creating timeless pieces of art, Africa was still a disease-ridden hellhole where animal-worship, slavery, and cannibalism were still practiced. Even today, Africa is the most uncivilized continent in the world.

So how am I expected to believe that all people of this world are equal? Prove it to me: When Africans stop murdering the white farmers who fed them, and stop putting tires on each other and lighting them on fire, and stop hacking each other to death with machetes, I'll stop believing that there are difference between races. When black people stop murdering each other in the streets of places like Chicago and Baltimore, then I'll start assuming that we are all equal.

You answered your own question. The over used term of RACIST is anyone with a different color hue of skin saying something to or about someone else with a darker or lighter hue of skin and they don't agree with whatever was said. Hence, you are a racist as the catch phrase.

I'm racist. There. Said it for anyone feeling the urge to utter said word.
 
Racism is a term used by the Left to attack anyone who does not agree with them. It opened the door for them for the invention of the "hate-crime."
Let's hope the young lad who just mowed down a bunch of counter protesters gets slapped with it, too. "Inventing" hate crime laws was the most civilized thing this country has done in a long long time.

All crimes are based on hate. Or envy.

First, before you convict him, let us hear the evidence of why he did it.

Second, there is no such thing as a "hate-crime." That is total bullshit. It is a CRIME. If someone runs someone over, they are guilty of a crime called Vehicular Homicide. No one can ever claim to know WHY he did it or his INTENTIONS. Maybe he was playing with his radio. Maybe he had an itch. Maybe he was drunk. Maybe his foot slipped. Maybe the guy ran out in front of him. Maybe he had a grudge and wanted to get even for an old injustice. Maybe he was scared and just trying to get away.

Fining the person EXTRA for what you think he thought is criminalizing and thus controlling what people THINK;--- no more insidious and un-American a thing I cannot think of.

If I want to love you, THAT IS MY BUSINESS.

If I hate you, THAT IS MY BUSINESS.

I have no more control over who I love than who I hate.

When you can criminalize who a person likes or dislikes, then soon you will be able to criminalize who you are attracted to, what books you read, and what political affiliation you belong to.

WHAT GOES ON IN A GUY'S HEAD is HIS BUSINESS.

Worry about the ACTION (verb).

You ROB a bank.

You STEAL a car.

You MURDER a person.

A person may have deep envy all of his life, but if he never acts on it, NO HARM NO FOUL.

No Crime.

Stealing from or killing a person out of envy, NOW it becomes a crime.

A person may be attracted to children. But if he keeps it to himself and never acts on those feelings, NO HARM NO FOUL.

It is when a person ACTS on those feelings that he has committed a crime and is now a Pedophile.

Thoughts, feelings and desires in and by themselves can never be a crime in any free society, especially as 99.9% of the people out there have no control and do not decide what they think, feel or desire!

I don't know what "hate radio" is. I watch FOX news about as much as I watch CNN, MSNBC, and RT. I switch around to maintain a balanced perspective.

Regarding my comment: Have a look at the following transcripts of some currently available "rap" recordings, every one of which maintains a brisk sales volume. Tell me what you think.

Lyrics from some currently popular Black rap "artists:"
======================================


"Kill the white people. We gonna make them hurt. Kill the white people but buy my record first; ha, ha, ha."

(Kill d'White People. Apache, Apache Ain't Shit, Tommy Boy Music, Time Warner, USA.)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

"Niggas in the church say kill whitey all night long. The white man is the devil. The CRIPS and Bloods are soldiers I'm recruiting with no dispute. Drive-by shooting on this white genetic mutant. Let's go and kill some rednecks. Menace Clan ain't afraid. I got the .380. The homies think I'm crazy because I shot a white baby. I said. I said. I said kill whitey all night long. A nigga dumping on your white ass. Fuck this rap shit, nigga, I'm gonna blast. I beat a white boy to the motherfucking ground."

"Like my niggas from South Central Los Angeles. They found that they couldn't handle us. Bloods> CRIPS. On the same squad with the Essays (Latino gangs). And nigga, it's time to rob and mob and break the white man.

(The Day the Niggaz Took Over. Dr Dre. The Chronic, 1993. Interscope Records, under Time Warner.)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Bust a Glock; devils get shot. When God give the word me herd like the buffalo through the neighborhood. Watch me blast. I'm killing more crackers than Bosnia-Herzegovina each and everyday. Don't bust until you see the whites of his eyes. The whites of his skin. Louis Farrakhan . Bloods and CRIPS and little old me. And we all getting ready for the enemy."

Everything you said is 100% true. However, you missed the point entirely. No one is being arrested for their thoughts, feelings or desires. When a person acts on their hatred for a GROUP or CLASS of people based solely on their being "different" in some way--whether it is color, religion, sexual orientation--it should be dealt with even more severely than a regular crime of "passion." That is because that kind of hatred should not be tolerated in our society. Freedom of speech--indeed, any individual "right," ends where the other guy's nose begins. Hate groups like the people who congregated this weekend in Charlottesville have a right to say what they will, but imo it is intimidating, hostile and downright disrespectful to the people they hate and therefore I feel it COULD be stopped from being publicly discussed.
Hate crimes and hate groups are the enemy of civilized society. Call me what you will for not agreeing to tolerate these people, but you will not be able to convince me that what comes out of their mouths or is harbored in their hearts is in any way American or civilized. Give them an extra five years if they act on that hatred for no reason except the other person is gay or black or Jewish.
