It is important that the term racist or racism doesnt necessarily regard any prejudiced action or any power which are the usual misconceptions of the term.

To be racist- one need only need to believe in the ideology of race- that which determines that humans can be categorized by race signifiers primarily those that designate "white" people as an exclusive group.

If you believe this in any capacity then you are a racist whether or not you prejusge people based on your beliefs whether or not you act with those beliefs in mind. The term racist only refers to what you are willing to believe- it is an indicator of ideology.

Alot of people around here are closet racists- maybe even you. This is not to characterize anybody as a sinister racist who hides behind hip hop affection and calls us all niggers when we're not lookin- this term more succintly characterizes a growing community of people who are misguided about race ideology and presume that it is true and go about trying to resolve other matters of humanity. The truth is race as we know it and as it is subjected upon this society is a lie.

If you believe you or anybody else is naturally or biologically "white" aside from their perogative to consider themselves that then you are a racist- if you have no idea what im talking about cuz you still believe you are "white" then you are a closet racist.
