Why are People Dissecting the word RACIST as if they don't know what it means?

[Truth Detector]

Racism isn't necessarily what is placed in print but what is in the mind. One has either to be strong minded or a coward to admit to it, either way.

The question asked on another forum was this: what are racist ignorant of?

Your thoughts?

Theres a difference between racism and claiming racism for every little thing for personal gain, or to just blame others or to use it for an excuse. Crying wolf has diminished racism and has desensitized many to it.

Real Racism certainly exists, ive seen it MANY times but ive also seen bogus bull$#@! claims of racism where none existed even more and for some it becomes hard to distinguish what is real and just ranting BS.

If I may Cigar without insult or attack intended, I believe you have overplayed your hand with the picture posting and silly trolling in threads where you dont like the topic or whats being said to the point where when you are serious no one takes you seriously.

Racism certainly exists but white people do not believe its to the extent that blacks do and others try to make it out to be and badgering them isnt going to change any minds. Most whites are not outright racists that hate black people just because they are black.

This Thread has nothing to do with anyone's "claims" or "accusations" ... just if noun Racism is Ignorant adjective or not.

It's just that simple ... nothing more, nothing less, nothing else.

Tolerance.

Exactly, what people think and what they know is often clouded with their ignorance of the unknown.

Tolerance.

Partially true ... but it goes deeper than that

But claims and accusations of racism affects racism and its perceptions and the attitudes toward it more than anything else

Why are they trying to defend ignorance?

I don't get it.

They're not. That they are is ignorant.

[Chris]

Everyone knows what the word Racism and Racist means, yet there are many here who try everyday to carve out their different meanings a dilute it's impact?

1. Why is that?
2. What are they afraid of?
3. Do they feel some type of Guilt?
4. What's there to be Guilty of if the description doesn't fit you?

Disclaimer: Don't worry, I'm not a puzzy coward who will filter this thread for only people I agree with.

What's it mean to you? Please don't reach for dictionary. Tell us what you think.

See what happens in the other Thread when all you have is like-minded participants ... they end up stroking each other in agreement. But when they get Body slammed in their own Thread, they Cry to Mama, and take their Balls and go play with them in private.
