A Racist: A racist is one who is both privileged and socialized on the basis of race by a white supremacist (racist) system. The term applies to all white people (i.e. people of European descent) living in the United States regardless of class, gender, religion, culture or sexuality. By this definition, people of color cannot be racists, because as peoples within the U.S. system they do not have the power to back up their prejudices, hostilities or acts of discrimination."

According to the University of Delaware it is.

No it's not a definition it's an accusation based on race and a racist statement in itself.

By common sense, a racist is a person. This definition makes no mention of any personal qualities that a racist would have. It simply labels a racist as someone who is from a particular race simply for being in that race.

I have often said here - All liberal thoughts, policies, values, and beliefs, are based on specific lies. All liberal rhetoric is simply justification of the lie. If you listen to them it makes perfect sense. The trick is, examine the premise of their argument. They have assumed something that wasn't true. I have never seen any exception to this basic evaluation of liberal rhetoric.

Ok lets get real here. Racism is basically an assumtion. Basically meaning that that the characteristics and abilities of ANY and i mean ANY individual are determined by race. Also it means that 1 race is biologically superior to another. It also can be affected in politics, a political program, or social system being based on these exact assumptions.
Now if you look at the word assumption, because here it is a very important word. It means it is taked for granted! Maybe the word supposing can be instituded here also in the manner that it is in the mind of the said person or persons.
For instance if someone is murdered and we find a subject who we think is guilty, we assume it untill we find said evidence. Thus he is innocent untill proven otherwise.
The prejudices, hostilities and acts of discrimination are viewing and used by every color people in the world. Not just white. But all people. I have seen it, lived in it, walked amongst it, and we are ALL GUILTY of just these ways not just whites!
You know in todays world these ways of life are adapted only because we let them. To be a racist is a shame in any way of thinking. But please lets always remember that it isn't confined to just a white peoples way of thinking! I know people of all walks of life who are just that. They are Black, Hispanic, White, of all races and colors that are as racist as any. Therefore we walk in a world that has no true peace and never will unless this terrible world and way of thinking is vanquished forever.
But the wise man knows that it will never be, so those with the open minds, open hearts, and true Godly ways will try and live the life, that was once said by a man who was as great as he was wise. Abraham Lincoln. All men are created equal. Yes hes a white man who knows that all are men in the eyes of God are seen as 1. Untill God becomes or tells me to think otherwise i will love any and all people as brothers and sisters in life.
God Bless America and all Americans forever!

Anyone can be racist. People of color are some of the biggest racists.
