22091, please define "racist" for me
Posted by guest, Thu Aug-24-00 02:46 PM
i was just reading the post about "white" peoples place in hip hop...very entertaining stuff by the way...but it was mentioned that people on the boards (and i'm not quoting here) were closet racists and what not...

now my question is, could someone please define racist for me, because the definition i have been using would not include black people/people of African descent...

and just for anyone who is curious as to what my definition is, it's something like this:

power+prejudice=racism

and when i say power, i don't mean on a micro scale, i'm talking 'bout big power.

so u can see how black folks aren't included in my definition...

can somebody else share what racism means for them?

thank u

peace and blessings
