Quote:I was trying my best not to be offensive. These aren't questions I get to ask daily. I want to get a handle on what you think is actually racist. You've again mentioned the media's actions and others outside yourself, but I'm looking into what you think is actually racist. That may be why it seems we are going around and around. Based on your example, the only time you've seen something as racist is when it was overt. However you noted above institutional racism (prison system), blacks being disproportionately incarcerated, I figured that would be one of your examples. It was not.

The sentiment seems, stop crying racism all the time. Ok that's fair, but if you only look for overt signs of racism, you're really not all that concerned with how prevalent it is or isn't. The ppl who are too quick to scream racism may be creating a schism but those who act like racism is all racial epithets and white hats are helping to maintain that divide.

What I find offensive is your responses that are beyond inquisitive and more so putting things in your own context without comprehension. I can't continue this discussion if you ignore my previous responses and then attempt to twist words. I've given you the definition of racism, examples, and whether or not it I believe it exists beyond overt. Once again, what is your point? Do you believe all people are racist until proven otherwise? Guilty until proven innocent? You believe there are covert signs the cops are dirty?
