Main Entry: rac·ism
Pronunciation: 'rA-"si-z&m also -"shi-
Function: noun
1 : a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race
2 : racial prejudice or discrimination

I believe that the black african race/ethnicity is superior to all others based on morals. They are generally communally oriented, have positive relations with other races, even those who exploited them in the past, they show great charity and kindness to strangers , are humble hardworking and equitable.But I am not a black african.

I am not talking about transplanted black africans who reside in other countries outsdie the continent of africa.

I believe that whites and asians are superior to others when it comes to governance and economic development. I also include jews in this group.

I am a racist. anyone else willing to admit it?

Great answers so far, but some of you still cant admit it. Humans have always and will always discriminate. Discrimination helps us determine what is good and what is bad. I realize i prefer black africans when it comes to the consistent practice of virtue.

I prefer whites , asians and ethnic jews(religion isnt a factor) because of my experience with them, always being determined, focused looking forward and generally not crying about their lot in life.

Of course i am generalizing. nothing is ever 100 percent. Itslike saying black people are generally athletic. its true but thats also considered a racist statement.

most asians are geniuses,Its true. but racist. white people are responsible for most technological innovations. true but racist.

some of you are too PC, concerned with how one will view your arguments. that is not true freedom. If you air your true feelings, then labels cant hurt because you have already owned those labels.

the example given of a mixed race person who lived in israel and the US with german, latino and african heritage. I say, if he identifies with being a black american he identifies with the likes of jesse jackson, then he is likely a racist himself who will never amount to anything because he is given in to multi cultural obsession and a victim mentality. he is not pure blooded african therefore he is not disposed to being very charitable. In fact he probably thinks himself to be superior to black africans.

Is this a description of yourself?

by the way, whenever you make a choice of any kind , you discriminate. That will never change about us, we choose who to associate with and who to be like etc. by nature we discriminate and that is good. we look at good and evil in generalities in order to make judgements. All of you who have said I am not a racist are lying because you do discriminate and you can see that certain races have superior qualities in general.

Why are black people predisposed to athleticism? big lower body muscles, big butts. to charity: they know what its like to be crapped on so they try to be as nice as possible.

Why are asian mostly successful: confucian principles, martial arts, hard work, great expectations. Why are jews so close knit: been crapped on, hard working, religious values.

keep thinking people!

No, I don't agree with you at all. I think your reasoning is inconsistent and unreasonable. The world is filled with debased morals and no one nationality or race is without flaw. I've live in the US all my life and I've experience harsh treatment from all races for different reasons. However, I would really like to be treated respectfully, fairly and honestly by all people but that is not a reality as long as we live in a world where people feel superior to others based on race. No, I don’t agree with you.

I think that you want to sound clever but you let yourself down.

If you are using the word in the vernacular then what you are doing is trying to undermine the work that more sensible people are going towards.

If you are regular on this site - do you really think the majority of readers will understand your post? Or what reaction are you really aiming for?

And if you are half as clever as you are attempting to project - I wonder why you wouldn't put your great brain power and symbolism to perhaps the greater good and get people thinking more about cooperating with each other.

Am I a racist? No. Racism to me is the vilest thing next to nazism - and it should be despatched in the same way.

What you are doing is confusing the issues perhaps to those easily confused. I hope that - if this was your purpose - that you gain suitable enterainment from the 'hilarious' answers that you will - no doubt - provoke.

Lets just hope that the same guy/girl that reads your post does not go out and kick the living daylights out of the next Jew/black/white/asian/Muslim/Christian that they bump into.

Nice work Sir.

I am a white African... so where do I fit in your classification??? The superior whites??? or the superior Africans???

It might sound weird, but I don't even any difference in anybody, except the intelligence and the educational differences, but color or ethnicity wise, really never thought about it, and never will probably. Everybody is equally the same.

Robert, why would you think that you and the asker aren't racist. You ARE racist if you believe that race accounts for differences in human character, that racial differences determine individual or cultural achievement and ability. I know it sounds harsh to refer to an individual who believes this as being racist, because people who believe as such do not all necessarily believe in racial supremacy. Many of them are not cruel, hateful, or supporters of discrimination. They are simply ignorant to the fact that race doesn't predispose anyone to being smart, stupid, kind, hateful, generous, selfish, and so on. But they are, indeed, racist.

We should not deny that the asker of this question is racist. He/she isn't even denying it. Of course he/she is entitled to his/her opinion, however, we must "call it like we see it". Otherwise, we will have no idea what we're fighting since we will have no idea what racism truly is. Racism is deeply rooted in ignorance. It is the very foundation of racism.

For example, let's look at the contradictions in what the asker is saying to us:
"I am not talking about transplanted black africans who reside in other countries outsdie the continent of africa."
----How can he/she be of the opinion that the characteristics he/she mentioned only apply to black africans not living in africa. If black africans were predetermined to having said characteristics based upon race then all blacks from africa or having an african lineage would be predetermined to having these same characteristics. Of course, predetermination could be argued based upon geographic distribution, but this doesn't hold any water either since not all africans are black. But, then again, culture could be argued. Well, if culture predetermines africans to possessing particular characteristics then common sense dictates that non-blacks could be predetermined to possessing those same characteristics since black africans are not the only individuals who identify with black african culture. But, then again, there are several different african cultures and sub-cultures. Which of these cultures/sub-cultures is supposedly a predeterminate? In conclusion, black africans cannot be predetermined to possessing the above mentioned characteristics.

"I believe that whites and asians are superior to others when it comes to governance and economic development. I also include jews in this group."
----Whites? Which whites? Which whites are predetermined to having superior governance and economic development skills? Germans? Russians? White Americans? Who? And why? Is it because of culture? Geographic location? Shared history? White is a very broad term that discribes people in many different locations who make up several different cultures and histories. So the asker must be expressing that genetics predetermines the above characteristics. So, according to him/her genetics predetermines whites to having certain characteristics but not blacks. How so? And what about asians? There are asians living in all parts of the world who identify with several different cultures just the same as whites. Same arguement.
And as far as Jews are concerned: Is the asker referring to religious Jews (adherents of Judaism) or ethnic Jews? Not all Jews follow Judaism. Not all Jews are Semites. Not all Jews are citizens/residents of Israel or any other country. Not all Jews share the same culture.
Some have only one of the above in common. Some have a few of the above in common. And some have all of the above in common. So which of the above (religion, location, culture, etc...) is the asker claiming to be the factor(s) that predetermine(s) Jews to having superior governance and economic development abilities?

I have a "mind stumping" question for the asker:

Can you tell us what characteristics/abilities the following person is predetermined to having based upon race?

Physical characteristics: Some of those which are commonly associated with white people (specifically, very light skin complection, light brown hair, non-ample lips and backside, green eyes).
Geography: Born and raised in the United States. 30 year resident of Israel.
Religion: Christianity.
Lineage: German, American Indian, Black American, and Latino.
Cultural identity: Black American.
Additional details: Married father of two children. Spouse is a Black American Mambo (Voodoo Priestess) with Haitian and Japanese lineage and physical characterics commonly associated with black people (with the exception of hair texture).

The fact of the matter is is that NOTHING related to race predetermines who/what a person will become.

I'm a racist too. I hate rednecks. I've never been to Africa, so I can't agree or disagree with you. But logic would tell me that you are correct.
