If I'm morally opposed to racist people doesn't that make me prejudice, therefore hypocritical?

No that makes you a person with a great deal of intelligence.

I don't think it would be the same type of prejudice to be against one that hates. So long as you do not react in a negative way when oppossing the racist person. Make a Statement not an act.

Prejudice is the labeling of all people of a certain group with a certain characteristic. Since a person who labels themself "racist" is, by nature, racist, and you do not like racists, then it really wouldn't be "prejudice", since they are acknowledging being racist by the very nature of labeling themselves racist. The same thing goes for labeling a Nazi as anti-Semitic. Since, by their own acknowledgement, Nazism is based on anti-Semitism, calling one an anti-Semite wouldn't really be "prejudice". Likewise, it wouldn't be prejudice to say that all Christians believe in the divinity of Christ, since that is the very definition of a Christian.
(I know, this answer is confusing. I've written off getting best answer on this one, but hopefully you'll understand what I'm trying to say)

it depends on what u think. if u are opposed to racism, that is one thing--- if u lump all racists together and stereotype them, then yes u are being a hypocrite because the whole point is not to judge and think that all people of a certain group can think or act exactly the same way

No, there's a difference between race prejudice and the type of prejudice that is making judgements based on logical thinking, and discernment of ideas.

Honestly?
Of course not. it's not okay to judge a book by it's cover ( how it looks or acts during a first impression ) But I think it is okay to not like racist people. This is mostly because they are ignorant and/or brilliant but just simply have no soul. Either one works. Accustoming yourself with those type of pre-judgemental people well only corrupt you and turn you into something you aren't. People should not judge or stereotype by skin color because IT is morally wrong, so I think it isn't horrible to dislike them.

if you are morally opposed to racist people, than yes, you are prejudiced. however, if you are morally opposed to thier beliefs, and not to them as people, then your ok. we are all God's children, regardless of what we think, or believe.

Your absolutely right!!
The best thing to do in this situation is support the racists. Particularly the (you know which) ones.
