    What is the micro version of racism? You're calling the main definition of racism "micro"?
    How is quoting the dictionary delusional?

    The dictionary IS reality.

    Indubitably!


    Just like, the Encyclopedia:

    racism
    noun

    rac·ism | \ ˈrā-ˌsi-zəm also -ˌshi- \

    Definition of racism

    1: a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race

    2a: a doctrine or political program based on the assumption of racism and designed to execute its principles
    b: a political or social system founded on racism


    3: racial prejudice or discrimination

    The History and Dictionary Meaning of Racism
    Racism appears to be a word of recent origin, with no citations currently known that would suggest the word was in use prior to the early 20th century. But the fact that the word is fairly new does not prove that the concept of racism did not exist in the distant past. Things may have words to describe them before they exist (spaceship, for instance, has been in use since the 19th century, well before the rocket-fired vessels were invented), and things may exist for a considerable time before they are given names (t-shirt does not appear in print until the 20th century, although the article of clothing existed prior to 1900).

    Dictionaries are often treated as the final arbiter in arguments over a word’s meaning, but they are not always well suited for settling disputes.
    The lexicographer’s role is to explain how words are (or have been) actually used, not how some may feel that they should be used, and they say nothing about the intrinsic nature of the thing named by a word, much less the significance it may have for individuals. When discussing concepts like racism, therefore, it is prudent to recognize that quoting from a dictionary is unlikely to either mollify or persuade the person with whom one is arguing...


    _____________________________________________________________



    https://www.britannica.com/topic/racism



    Racism - rac·ism \ ˈrā-ˌsi-zəm also -ˌshi- \. also called racialism: any action, practice, or belief that reflects the racial worldviewthe ideology that humans may be divided into separate and exclusive biological entities called “races”; that there is a causal link between inherited physical traits and traits of personality, intellect, morality, and other cultural and behavioral features; and that some races are innately superior to others.

    Since the late 20th century the notion of biological race has been recognized as a cultural invention, entirely without scientific basis.

    As addressed before, for one, one definition sandwuched between to common forms of racism does not trump the other two definitions. For another, feelings don't trump facts. I don't care if you feel racism doesn't accurately describe how you think it should be used.

    Look, if you were making the argument blacks can't have racism according to the second definition of racism, then you would have a valid point. You're still wrong, but it's an understandable point of view. However, when you treat the second definition of racism as the ONLY definition of racism, then we have problems.

    So what are you saying? Are you saying that the second definition is/should be the ONLY defintion and thus, blacks can't have racism? Or are you acknowledging the other two defintions but you're specifically saying that according to the second definition, blacks can't have racism?

    Blacks have Hatism or hatred, not Racism, so please go learn the galactic difference between the two circumstances in real time.


    look here pal if you want to pretend that one (1) person disliking some other single person because of their Race, is somehow, bigger than the way that nearly an entire Race can hate another group or Race, so much, to whereas they subjugate and oppress them only bc of their Race?

    Then hey, I cannot stop you from embarrassing your own intelligence in here where you ensured that you get to apologize for being a Black person.

    So you are saying that racism has only one definition. Thanks for establishing that you deny reality.



    When did I said that it was more important? I'm disagreeing with your blantant refusal to acknowledge the fact that blacks can have racism. I also disagree with your asertion that blacks are still being opressed on a large scake to this day.

    When did I apologized for being black? Stating the fact that racism in the US is mostly dead and that police aren't racist is not me apologizing for being black. It's just stating the facts, Ma'am.

    Interesting... like the gender confused, if one identifies as a different race, does that make you black?

    LOL @ white privilege. No such thing.

    Heres a definition that seems to fit this thread.

    race–baiting /ˈreɪsˌbeɪtɪŋ/ noun [noncount] US, disapproving : the unfair use of statements about race to try to influence the actions or attitudes of a particular group of people

    Keep stirring that pot, OP.

    The idea Racism = prejudice + power comes from the idea that only whites are members of the "power system" and have the ability to force their prejudice on others. Yes that may have been true during Jim Crow but those days are long gone. Yes the "power system" may be predominately white because whites are still the numerical majority but it's not exclusively white. There are many minorities who are also part of the "power system". Yes blacks deal with the vestiges or remnants of racism that persist to this day but the definition of prejudice + power has pretty much fallen by the wayside.

    I had a black friend from Barbados and she thought US African Americans were gross and ill-mannered. I had another black friend who would only hire white contractors because she had been screwed over by a black company.
