I would love to here your thoughts on what defines racism.

We're hearing so much about how it's racist to not vote for Obama, It's racist to vote for Obama.

Please explain... 50 words or less.

Thanks

It is racist to not vote for Obama simply because he is black. It is racist to not vote for McCain simply because he is white.
Racism is judging a person by the color of there skin instead of the content of there character.

OK but what about voting FOR a person because he is black or White regardless of the other persons colour?

Racism:

On an individual level: the act of assuming something about an individual based on his or her race that is not supported with an objective analysis of statistics.

On a group level: the act of assuming a certain race is objectively superior or inferior to another.

Bingo.

Most of the hot air on here about Republicans being racist is a bunch
of political spin bullshit.

That is called personal preference, and doesn't necessarily
make one a racist - whether it's a black person doing it,
or a white person.

One has to be in a position of power (which can be a lot of different things) to exercise racism. If not, it's simply one prejudice.

I am close friends with a lot of african americans, that I've gotten
to know pretty well from various hoop teams.

They joke about the watermelon, fried chicken, collard greens, ...
Because - it's true that blacks tend to like those foods. I don't think
it's necessarily racist to laugh at different race's likes/dislikes.

But, no doubt people can use them in their slurs...

Racism today is that black people are angry towards the white people cause of slavery and other bad stuff that were done to them cause of race. It supports a purpose and a calculated agenda. Hope this helps. Just my opinion with all due respect that is! Rock on!

Not to sound like a dick but....If Obama wins and becomes the first black president can we get a break from the Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton shit. Maybe also we can stop hearing how there are not as many opportunities for blacks as there are whites. To me Obama shows everyone (whites included) that if you act with a self respect and show intelligence and manners people will treat you that way.

we all want to believe we are above somebody else, its natural.

racism is the belief that you are above somebody else based on race.

Obama is Aristocracy....his election, his candidacy, his rise to false power has nothing to do with black people and everything to do with the EL-ites war against humanity...he was selected before blacks and or whites knew who he was...he has been given to the public...we had no choice in the matter...

Jackson and Al Sharpton do not represent the views of blacks...they are hired FBI snitches who are paid to agitate the country into a race war at every possible chance the opportunity presents itself. A country divided by religion, class and race cannot and will not stand on its own and is easily conquered.

Blacks do not get as many opportunities as Whites do. That is something that will not change...The Darker races have always been subject to this kind of discrimination. In Hinduism, a culture and religion far older than Christianity, this has been customary...The media however love to remind white people of this horrible fact of life in order to guilt them into accepting a Criminal Underclass of Psychopathic Deviant types who use race as an excuse to commit reprehensible crimes against humanity....

This is done so that Upper Class Right Wing Fascism returns to America in order to justify more changes to current laws like the Patriot act which empower the Military Industrial Complex even further...

But within that same race of people, lies civilized blacks who suffer tremendously at the hands of the savagery of members of their own community as well as a Conservative White Racist Types who paint them all with the same brush...

Mind you...many of these kinds of people are being robbed by the FED...which Blacks have absolutely nothing to do with...Usuary is perhaps the greatest of all the sins....and it is being perpetrated by their very own European Counterparts who make up the High Upper Class...the same upper class that Obama, & McCain descend from....

The chinese and the Pakistani/Indians have done amazingly well where I'm at, no ersatz sympathy required.

Free market money is the most amazingly objective thing in the world.
