So much contradiction in one post, it totally boggles the mind.....no offense.


I do not distrust, dislike, hate, avoid or discriminate against people who are different than me.


And here's the thing: would such prejudices this applied to an entire group, or groups, collectively? If the answer to all of those is no.....then one would not be a racist. Pure and simple.....

On the other hand, maybe you're legitimately trying to make a positive point. And if so, I genuinely feel bad for you, because you did an absolutely terrible job at framing said argument. Bravenak happens to be right here: it's no use trying to redefine a word that already has a rock-solid definition, accepted by nearly every authority in the world----some people here could really use a lesson or two in that regard----even if it's to try to make a philosophical point.
