It has occurred to me that much of what some like to label as bigoted racism is not . Bigotry is associated with ignorance / irrationality working through Intolerance. Racism has to do with (tribal /national / lingual) conflicts between separate entities. Without a doubt there are plenty of shades of gray between say for example the Palestinians and Israeli's , but then again on a fundamental level both " Tribes/Nations/ Tongues" know very well the rationality behind their conflict. I submit that the definition of warfare is racial and that in some cases one side is negatively motivated with respect to race and the other is positive. Native Americans for example ; are racist , and both kinds of racism exist within the collective body politic. Racism that takes on the form of discrimination , in order to show favoritism towards a Tribe or tribes, Nation /Tongue , in order to facilitate it's survival , is beneficial to the favored party. Universal Discrimination is a fact of life and is a multifaceted set of paradigms that go beyond a single line of symmetry . I submit modern English language has sought to blur the lines of definition in regards to the nature of reality in the name of political correctness and all of the corruption it sustains.


It is possible to be very angry with some one , and hate what they do , without hating them. Hating a practice or mindset can be done without malice. Currently the level of hypocrisy within religion/faith , Christian/Jew is so rampant it is easy to take a cheap shot and label a person a bigot for breaking down , and being discriminant , for drawing parallels as well as a host of other angles concerning relation. I support full investigation into all inconvenient / uncomfortable truths within the macrocosm.
