Define "racist"

The word does not have a listing in the first dictionary I grabbed from the shelf. Really! The word racism is listed, and racist is a sub-listing, showing only that it is used as both a noun and an adjective.

For racism, the dictionary says: 1. A belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race.
2. Racial prejudice or discrimination.

Yep! that's exactly how I see it. Doesn't even mention "fighting for civil rights". Doesn't even mention having a lot of black friends. Doesn't mention supporting the agenda of a black president.

Well, do any of those things make you NOT a racist? Did the fact that Timothy McVeigh never killed anyone before his Oklahoma City bombing make him NOT a mass murderer?

No, the definition of racism is "a belief that -- racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race."

When Harry Reid said that Barack Obama was not too black and didn't sound black (though he could sound black if needed), Reid was clearly demonstrating that he considered Obama to be inferior, because of his race, but might be an acceptable candidate because he was sort of, well, "black lite".

Harry Reid is a blatant racist.

So is the guy who described Obama as a "clean, articulate Negro". His name was Joe Biden.

So is the guy who said "a few years ago, the guy (Obama) would have been fetching us coffee." His name was Bill Clinton.

White Democrats have hated and abused blacks for generations, because they believe they are inherently superior.

Why are so many black Americans still supporting them?
