Is racism really so difficult to define?

[Victorian Gray]

That's racist? Why do you have to refer to me as your property? That brings me back to a time of slavery, the pain those people felt. I think I need reparations, I'm just as affected by slavery as anyone else today, reparations for all. Obviously I feel great pain when someone uses the term, "owned."

Everyone knows that being "owned" is an euphemism. Please troll your stupidity in your own thread.

no, it's not hard to define. It's hard for racists to accept the definition though.

So good talk here, guys.

For the target audience, I'd like to recommend the following TED talk.
For those who prefer Cliffs, here's the key passage:

"You see, it's our disconnection from each other. Hatred is born of ignorance. Fear is its father, and isolation is its mother. When we don't understand something, we tend to be afraid of it. If we keep ourselves from it, that fear grows and sometimes it turns into hatred."

Something to think about it, while we sit here at our keyboards (or phones), ascribing malicious intent to people we've never actually met, and whose lives and identities we almost certainly don't understand, and keep ourselves away from through the use of labels and blame.

People who are so afraid of being done unto that they must do unto first, often have difficulty understanding that we should never treat anyone in a way that we would not want to be treated. Instead, their fear tells them that they are being deprived of their right (if you will) to defend themselves pre-emptively.
Racism is merely one precursor for this fear among many. But as I said in the OP, when a person is presented with 2 moral narratives, identical to each other except for the races of the characters within the narratives, and that person's moral viewpoint changes, their perception of who's right and who's wrong switches places, then that must be the result of racism.

About 50 % of white people polled today do not think Trump is racist. We know you are one of them

Did you also know back in the days of George Wallace the same percentage of white people didn't think Wallace was racist? I'm sure you think he wasn't either.

Some people don't know or refuse to recognize racism. You are the latter.

While I hate this topic I enjoy these threads only for the fact that it pulls the Geosurface out of many troll accounts...
