I think degrading other race is racist. Not simple everyday comments, but truly degrading. A preference to date in Ur race is not racist to me. If I said ALL black/Asian etc guys were killers, or I won't date a black/Asian etc cuz they all do drugs...then that's racist to me. Making fun of ones ancestors is racist....such as black slaves....that's racist if u use the word BLACK cuz actually we had WHITE slaves too. So its just in Ur words rather or not its racist to me

Thanks Aldo and Ive only called racism when people were being extreme in their views about blacks in particular. It was light and funny at first but just like I figured it would only get worse. I have never reported anyone for that yet even though people were secretly doing it to black people wrongly simply cause they thought we shouldnt participate here. Then when they tried to back peddle when they found out some of us were actually cool. Bah

A racist is anyone that excludes other races from any part of their life simply becuz they are not of the same race. A racist is someone that feels "their" race is superior than any other.

This is exactly what it is.

On live tv and no one says any thing about it being if any one says something they get attacked over it

I guess it also depends on the person, like some may think someone is fat but someone else thinks they're skinny. I think being racist goes beyond thinking Ur superior....its in Ur BEHAVIOR but that's just me

Wait, I think my race was superior when I actually win @ it! Semantic pun, sorry. I think racism is actually quite complicated. A remerk may sound racist and not be. Or a remark may sound pefectly benign and have racism hidden in the depths. To me, racism is treating someone differently because of their race. But there are so many other forms of discrimination as well. The best(funniest) retort to racism I ever heard came from one of my exes, who was a knock-out black girl... She said, and I quote, 'Baby, we all pink on the inside!' ;)

@JLaDawn: and if you need or any one on here needs proof just go to youtube and put in new black panthers party talks about killing whites i was from what i can tell the only one who came out after they told fox that and came back with this if white people talk about killing a race/group of people on live tv the FBI etc would do some looking into it and the people in the u.s would come out and say some thing about it did it happen no people went on to just take it
