Not if the victim's White

You appear to be redefining racism. That makes it hard to understand what you are talking about.


1.the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, esp. so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races.
prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.

Well, I have not really stated anything different than this definition.
I think the first part is correct, as is the second part.
However we differ where our conclusions lie, my friend. I don't view racism in a negative context.
I believe that every race has the right to claim superiority if it is able to exercise that superiority. Similarly, love for one's own race makes it a necessity to discriminate on that accord-meaning, I would be more inclined to marry my own kin, rather than a person of another race, similarly, vote for my own kin, or employ my own kin, and etc. and etc.
I'd discriminate in order to render service to my own, and those I've discriminated against, would probably do the same thing.

I'd rather not have hate crimes as an option. Governments should punish criminals for their actions not their thoughts. It's obviously horrendous that anyone would be targeted for violence based on the color of their skin, but I also think it is horrendous that a government would lay out harsher sentences for what someone is thinking, regardless of how much I disagree with it.

Well, I agree, crime is a crime, whatever the motivation. Though I think this makes you think. Can everyone live together?
