Is there a difference between racism and racial prejudice?

Answer 1

Wow--Axel pegged it!
Remember this fact---you can't have one without the other.
Likewise, racism stems from an ideology of "racial" superiority and the will to freely perpetrate acts of violence and /or genocide against the oppressed.
If moral acts and legislation curtail the racially motivated violence; if laws are egalitarian in their enforcement and use. The oppressed seek equal treatment and they encounter---racial prejudice, discrimination, economic disenfranchisement, and etc.
There is a difference; semantically speaking. However, they must co-exist, in regards to social injustice.

Answer 2

I guess the difference could be that racial prejudice is a notion of a person's characteristics based on their race, and racism is acts that hurt people's feelings and are caused because of a prejudice.

Answer 3

There is a little difference. Racial prejudice is the first step of racism. They are both great danger for humanity.

Answer 4

Racism is when you notice that 95% of the people of a certain group or race live up to the very same stereotypes that they are accusing you of accusing them of. Prejudice is the label placed on people that aren't afraid to state the truth.

Answer 5

racicm is where people act differently like let some people do this and that and not let other people do the same thing because of their personallity, or race, or looks, and prejudice is just a bad opinion like "she can't shoot a basket" or "she's too young"

Answer 6

Both are the same thing, both relate race to behavior which is extremely ignorant.

Answer 7

i really don't think there is much of a difference.
