Sorry, Pat,but

Is there an example where Obama has said that Caucasians have been treated inferior or discriminated against? I can't recall a single incident.

does not indicate any belief in the superiority of one race over another. And that is what racism really is.
Yes I know, and I also know that blacks have treated whites, Hispanics, Native Americans and Asians as their inferiors. As far as the Martin cases was concerned, at first the view was that Zimmerman was white, the race card lost it's steam at that point as it is common knowledge that blacks have spoken out against Hispanics, which Zimmerman is, and complained about Hispanics taking 'their (blacks) jobs. And there is an inherent believe of entitlement among blacks that is racist in nature. It does not take uttering a racist term in order for an action to be racist.

See the similarity, Pat?

I see one cherry picked line out of the definition of racism.

Cherry picked? That is the definition from Websters.

Oh, and here is another complete definition of racism
Quote:
 
rac·ism
ˈrāˌsizəm/Submit
noun
1.
the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, esp. so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races.


"And there is an inherent believe of entitlement among blacks" seems to fill the bill. Is that what you really meant to say, Pat?

Yes it is the first line of Webster's definition of racism. Are we discussing definitions in the thread or are we discussing examples of racist behavior? Again, racism exists across all races and is not confined to white on black racism. Unless you disagree and want to expand on why you disagree.

Do you think the second line is a definition of the noun "racism," Pat?

Would you say there is an appreciable drop in racism on the left?
Apparently your question had to do with racism, Pat. Isn't that what we are discussing, or at least trying to discuss, racism?

Yes Colo, discuss racism not definitions. The acts of racist behavior are what people refer to not the definition. Frankly, I can't recall many times where I have heard or read that a modern American believes that another race is mentally or physically inferior. I know this belief was held in the past but modern science has proven the theories wrong. In my opinion, racist outbursts have more to do with reacting to actions by people of another race than to some perceived weakness in another race.

Hell, pat , if definitions of normal usage aren't important why don't we discuss kiddlehopping. We do not need any common definition to have a successful discussion. I will contend that Republicans ALL are engaged in the acts of kiddlehopping. That is probably the worst thing in which they they could possible be involved.
