KopTalk.com Forums What is racism ?

It's a thing now banded about like confetti we all have our own ideas what it means. The British law is clear racisim is anything perceived to be racism by the victim or I think also by a third party. Which is pretty open ended you think it is and it is.

So I would like to hear what other posters believe racism is.

My own opinion is where you overtly discriminate because of the colour of their skin (any skin) for white people can be victims of racism and in today's world very often are. It also needs to be identifiable otherwise surpious claims can be made and the law is weak. Which I think it is and in today's world needs to be amended

However that is just my opinion how do you see it ?

Certainly not your crocodile tears version

Would be good to hear your version

western white men have to ask what is racism...historic and ongoing oppression is the answer

The blame must all be laid at the door of whitey I see thanks for your views. What about white women are they as bad ?

systematic and institutionalized racism in the west was set up by white men yes - not really groundbreaking revelations. Perhaps if white women were more empowered then it would not have been so murderous maybe

If I am understanding you correctly only people of white skin pigmentation are capable of racisim ? Have I got that right ?

you don't understand too good do you

No I don't explain

Would you consider slavery racist Stan?
