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....

@empiricism

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?

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