The True Definition of Racism?

Question

Racsim is composed of 3 things: Impostion, Idealogy, and Institutional Arrangement.
Impostion: Means to force
Idealogly: A value or belief
Instituitional Arragnement: Laws and government polices
Case in point: The black panthers were a Black power group that wanted to help and bring equality and rights to the oppresed peoples of America( Women, Blacks, Hispanics, and Poor people) How can they be a "racsit" group if they many poor whites aided then during the Civil Right Movement.
Another instance is Ethocentrism: People confuse ethocentrism with racsim. Ethiocentrism is the belief the ones culture is superior than another. This is not racism this is idealogy.
Bigotry: Stereotyping, Racial Slurs. Just because someone calls you a a slur doesn't make them as racsit they are clearly a bigot. Everyone express forms of bigorty but racism is different. only few people are actuall racists. Including Adolf Hilter, Strom Thrumand, Woodrow Wilson, Trent Lott, T.C. Williams.

These men are racsit because they had set up many Instituitonal arrangements, idelogies, and they imposed their views on others.

i'm just tired of some people falsely acussing each other of racism.

What do you think of this? I learned this from my History teachr and he is white

Emo kid- thats bigotry

Answer 1

I agree. I learned the same thing from a sociology class I took. I am tired of that term being thrown around as well. People look at me like I'm nuts when I argue that in America, whites are the only ones who can be racist.
The oppressors have to have socio-economic power (like you said - institutional arrangement such as laws, the imposition such as the police and idealogy such as a long list of prejudiced whties in power) over others in order to enforce and perpetuate ill practices and beliefs on different races.
FINALLY! Someone I can relate to!

Answer 2

Racism is when someone believes that they can recognize human genetic groupings by visual means alone. For instance, some people believe that the Uyghurs of Western China must be related to Europeans because they have blond hair or blue eyes when in fact they have, genetically, very little in common with Europeans.

Most of the animal kingdom relies on scent to identify their genetic kin but we rely on our monkey eyes - thus racism.

Answer 3

Racist is when people see a black person and say "Oh he probably just stole something." Or if they see a Mexican and say "I bet he is illegal and cuts lawns." And make fun of the way they talk and act just because of they're looks.

Answer 4

Well, what can I say? You didn't ask for my opinion anyway.
