"Is there anyone else out there who is.."

..black?

It's always something I've wanted to ask, just never got round to it. Please don't say I'm the only one.

So Crazy Col, you think you're superior, right? I mean, that's basically what you're saying.

Racism can be broadly defined as including any ideology -- or system of ideas, values, ethics and beliefs -- in which race and racial differences are recognized and regarded as valuable and important. It can also be defined as the opposite of racial nihilism, which denies race and racial differences and regards them as being without value or importance. In terms of causality or motive racism can be based on a wide variety of opposites, as can its own opposite -- racial nihilism. It can be based on love or hate, knowledge or ignorance, idealism or realism, loyalty or envy, benevolence or malice.

These different bases, causes or motives can themselves interact and blend in such a wide variety of combinations that it is often difficult to determine which cause is primary and which secondary. In sum, the motives or reasons for racism are as varied and complex as anything involving humanity is likely to be. But for purposes of discussion they can be divided into the following categories -- factual beliefs, ethical beliefs, values and emotions.

Racism based on factual beliefs includes the racism based on the belief that one race is superior to another, as the belief in racial superiority -- whether factually right or wrong -- is a factual belief. (This factual belief is often improperly criticized on ethical rather than factual grounds by racial egalitarians who demand that all factual beliefs conform to their ethical beliefs.) Also included in this category is the racism based on the factual belief in significant racial differences and variation -- independent of issues of superiority or inferiority -- coupled with the factual belief that it would be biologically beneficial for life and humanity to preserve that diversity. The racism based on a religious conviction that it is fulfilling the divine will is also included in the category of factual belief.

Racism based on ethical beliefs includes the racism that supports racial rights and affirms the right of all races to life, independence (racial self-determination or liberty) and the conditions of racial separation required for both. At the other end of the ethical spectrum, but also included in the category of racism based on ethical beliefs, is the racism which rejects and denies racial rights in favor of a racial competition for territory, dominance, mastery and existence -- a struggle for racial survival unrestricted by moral considerations.

This form of racism -- here designated as immoral racism -- is based on the ethical belief that there are no racial rights. This belief makes it the opposite of the racism -- here designated as moral racism -- that is based on the ethical belief in racial rights. Ironically, racial nihilism -- the opposite of racism in terms of its denial and rejection of the importance and value of race -- also denies and rejects racial rights, sharing this belief in common with immoral racism, and as a consequence also favors conditions (specifically, multiracialism) in which racial existence is not protected or secure, but is threatened with destruction by racial competition, replacement and intermixture.

Racism based on values includes the racism which regards the qualities of one race -- usually one's own -- as more important or desirable than those of other races. Values both influence and are influenced by -- and are closely connected with -- emotions, feelings and esthetic sensibilities that are deeply rooted in the human psyche, often subjective, and perhaps partially innate or genetic in origin. These can be either positive or negative.

There are innumerable gradations or degrees of both positive and negative emotions, with love being the most positive and hate the most negative. There are many different definitions of both love and hate, but for general purposes love can be defined as a strong positive emotion or feeling and hate as a strong negative emotion. In terms of causality, the critics of racism commonly define it as motivated or caused exclusively by hate, or even as synonymous with racial hate. But there is both more than one type of racism and more than one cause. Each type has its own cause, and each cause creates its own type or form.

Well Asher, I never really thought about it before but I imagined you to be white too. But being black doesn't change a thing. I'm white. I wouldn't want to feel prejudiced against if I was in Africa or South America or Asia. People are people no matter what their colour is.

Crazy Col, that was a bridge too far. Try spending time with people who are not white. Then you would realise that they are just like the rest of us. Everyone bleeds, gets tired, likes having a good time. A beautiful woman is always beautiful no matter what colour she is. See Halle Berry and J Lo for proof.

So your into football violence and Hitler. There is nothing cool about being in a riot or fight. Why don't you spout your mouth off in some areas so you get the doing that proves it to you? I'm sure that most whites would be happy to administer the needed medicine to you as well as any minorities you happen to have offended. And so far I cant think of any you havn't. You need help. Don't make comments like that again on here.

What a thoroughly riveting conversation going on here.

I'll join in sometime when I'm not drinking or searching for porn.

Agreed.

One thing I did notice was that someone called all the people on Big Brother gay in a derogatary fashion. Why is the British public still homophobic?

Famous?

Listen. Get it right. Hitler killed millions of people.

Not Famous. That puts him in a good light. Infamous.

Idiot.

Eh? I fail to see the rhyme.

of course

So, Lindgren's Michael Jackson then?

It rhymes.
Think about it.
Say it out loud.

It's all so clear now!
