"Racism is prejudice or discrimination based on the belief that race is the primary factor determining human traits and abilities. Racism includes the belief that genetic or inherited differences produce the inherent superiority or inferiority of one race over another. In the name of protecting their race from "contamination," some racists justify the domination and destruction of races they consider to be either superior or inferior. Institutional racism is racial prejudice supported by institutional power and authority used to the advantage of one race over others."

Common practice and usage:

Any behavior by another race, ethnicity, religion, or identifiable feature which bothers me or my group is based on racism. Just ask any liberal.


Middle East Wars Against Israel? Racist (Religion).

Bosnia? Racism (Ethnic).

Kosovo? Racism (Religion).

Rwanda? Racism (Tribalist).

Somalia? Racism (Tribalist).

Afganistan? Racism (Religion/Tribal/Ethnic).

Iraq? Racism (Religion/Tribal/Ethnic).

See a pattern?


I/my group is not in charge. Must be a root cause for my loss of dominance, other than numbers, lack of wealth, power, etc. Blame the dominant group and accuse them of racism. Class warfare, haves against the have nots. Seek friendly external group with grudge against dominant local group and gather support from them. Goal? To get our own noses into the trough, and persecute different groups who would/have challenged us.

Use external threats from racism to drive racial/tribal/ethnic nationalist fervor and focus attention OUTSIDE of our internal problems.

Just a thought.
