Been a lot of talk here about racists. Anybody have a good definition?
I don't believe in inter-racial marriages. Hetro--Bi--Gay--lesbian--makes no difference to me. Does that make me a closet racist? Just curious. Food for thought.

Who cares, I mean its not like its a subject that an be discussed and some sort of result happen as a result. I think the easiest definition would be treating someone of a different race differently than you would a person of a different race.

Being a racisist these day can be "someone who gives too good a description of a person who commits a crime".

It's like the word "prejudice" that is always being used. They say it is bad to be prejudice against someone. I'll admit, I'm prejudice against serial rapists. Does that make me a bad person?

I do believe people can say things that someone else deems racist, but not be racist themselves. IE political correctness. Again, it depends on what is on your own heart. Only you truly know unless you vocalize it to others. Kind of like your post. I commend you on your post. I prefer it when people speak their minds. That way at least you know what you are dealing with. I don't typically trust those who are tight lipped all the time. Being one who is in an inter-racial marriage, when I arrive in TV I will do my very best to stay out of your eyesight so as to not make you feel uncomfortable with the view of myself and my loved one. Seeing 2 people very happy can sometimes make others feel badly about themselves. As an FYI, I am NOT the least bit offended by your post. Some people are accepting of others and some are not. We are all different people with different points of view. Best of luck to you with your myopia. ![]()

Hopefully all the anti-miscegenation laws have been removed from all our state laws by now. At one time in America it was illegal in some states to marry a person of another race. Thank goodness that our great country has moved beyond that to a more enlightened time.

A racist is a person who has an irrational and unfounded hatred of another person or race.

lemme try - a racist would be a person who believes that their race, culture and heredity factors/influences place them above or in a place that is superior to someone of a different race with different cultural and heredity factors/influences.
i suggest you do a search on the definition of the words racist and racism and read the resulting definitions - it is enlightening to say the least! and then search the definition of bigot! wowza!

a racist examples:
Jesse Jackson Al Sharpton and all the other race stumpers that climb out of their holes when an opportunity for lights, camera, action presents itself. Check out their lifestyles as well you will find racists like the above are also hypocrites. btk |

It will be interesting to see how racism is defined as whites become the minority. This has already happened in California. Can Florida be far behind? |

A person who asserts the superiority of their own race through the use of stereotypes and thinly veiled (or sometimes open) hostility toward people of a different races. There is a big difference between a racist and a civil rights leader like Jesse Jackson, Jr who may criticize specific behaviors of specific people in an effort to create awareness and a better society where we can all share the benefits of a more just society...
