I never understood racism.

(I do love Jews more than people of all other races.)

Somebody needs a wake up call.

Please explain.

Can someone add a wiki?

[ChaimMoskowitz]

Please explain.

You favor one race over another. You don't see this as a form of racism?

No. Everyone favors their family, community, race, nationality etc., that's not racism. Racism is hating people from a particular race.

So if I give a job to a white person over a black person because I love white people more that is not a form of racism?

Loving white people over black people, is in essence saying that you hate Black people. Because there is no bond thru skin color. Loving Jews over all other nations, doesn't mean you hate non Jews, because there is a bond of religion, family, and nationality.

I thought this was obvious. 

[ChaimMoskowitz]

I thought this was obvious. 

The only ones it is obvious to is the followers of the religion in question. Very cute way to say a particular religion is not racist. Why do you believe there is no bond for some thru skin color?

What?  Man - that's shallow.

I don't consider someone who buys Made in USA products racist.

You don't see the difference between liking your own, and hating a specific race?

[ChaimMoskowitz]

I probably am the shallow one. After all I am the one that surrounds myself with individuals that all think basically the same way.

Any chance I can get an answer to this simple and probably shallow question?

I do see a difference between like/hate. The problem is the fine line between them. You say if I love whites more than blacks that means I hate blacks more. But when it comes to you that does not apply. Now it is time for me to

I did answer the job to white over black. Are you even reading my responses? This is conversation is getting nowhere, but I'll try one more time.

First of all: Whites and Blacks is not the same thing as Christians and non Christians. Because there is a bond of Religion, but skin color is not a bond.

Second: Racism means disliking people of a certain race. Not - loving more strongly people of your own Religion, Nationality etc.If that would be racism, then every person cheering for their country in the Olympics would be racist.

I think we can agree on that.

I think ethnicity or culture is a stronger bond than religion on its own.  Maybe religion combined with culture is stronger, but I still think ethnicity is the strongest.

And btw, racism typically involves some form of dislike, but the actual definition doesn't require it: "the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, [especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races.]"

But there is no bond between whites. There is no bond between blue eyed people. The only reason there can be a bond between whites is a belief that black people are inferior (or superior).

You say there is no bond so that makes it so?

[Baruch]

Any person that has any depth of thought understands my point.

The only bond between whites is the thought that White skinned people are superior. Why would a skin color unite people? Why doesn't eye/hair color unite them.

The only reason it seems that way to us is because we live in a society where whites are the majority. If you lived someplace where white were a minority you sure as heck would feel an affinity for any white you came across...
