Racism is.. 

I thought l'd write this post as l, as many, would be fine if a void opened up in time & space & sucked racism out of the minds of bigots.

But, failing that, how do we recognise racism?

#racism is negatively judging a person, not by their character, but by their skin colour. More broadly, bigotry is negatively judging a group of people that all share similar physiological characteristics (such as skin color)

Skin colour & bigotry are not related.

Racism is taught!

@empiricism

I think I’m a human racist.

I have an utter disgust for so many characteristics shared by ALL beings we define as “human”, regardless of their character and/or the color of their skin.

@SpinozasHeresy

If that's what you truly believe, why are you disgusted in yourself?

Do you often feel hate?

If that's the case, what event[s] or beliefs caused that feeling?

Those are more self refection questions (no pressure to reply. They're not trick questions)

@SpinozasHeresy

Why do you keep making general statements that are false?

That's not irony.

I will give you the benefit of my doubt & assume you believe you're being witty. However, the OP is about a serious subject.

So, if you have nothing constructive to say....

If that's what you truly believe, why do you take yourself so seriously?

Do you often take yourself kinda way too seriously?

If that's the case, what event[s] or beliefs caused that feeling?
