Dictionary....Great blog entry, very succintly put. <BR/>Dictionary.com defines racism independantly of who wields the power, as follows: "The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others."<BR/>Merriam Webster says: "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."<BR/><BR/>If so, it follows that anyone, regardless of how much power they wield, can think of race as the factor that determines capacities and behaviors. That's the definition of racism. So African American's can be racist according to both dictionary definitions. <BR/><BR/>But I get the point of what you're saying being important. I liked that you defined the difference between prejudice and racism. Your blog and writing was refreshing compared to half the blogs I read.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
