I suppose under your gerrymandered definition this may be so. Understand your view is not universally accepted because of its obvious limits. Understanding racism means understanding the whole problem. It is a lot more dynamic than you believe it to be if you truly believe it to be only a white issue. Denial of a problem doesn't rule it no longer a problem and a limited understanding of the issue such as yours only serves to ensure the problem furthers its existence.

Wrong. Every human feels his own is the best, but not every human is a savage that feels he/she has to enslave others.

First, this response is not a logically sound reply to my post you quoted. You're not on point with this one.

Secondly, and since you've alluded to this already, I challenge you to support your claim. NOTE: Your opinion does not constitute valide support for your claim that "every human feels his own is the best." Let's see some definitive evidence. Otherwise this is just your opinion, real only to you and those whose views on the matter happen to align to yours.

I'm not sure why this is so hard for you to understand. It's okay to have your opinion. Where you are wrong is your belief that your opinion is universal. It's not.

Also, I've read plenty of U.S. history. Even in a study and analysis of history there is disagreement. In other words, even your source is not definitive support for your claim.

Since the same points keep being brought up over and over, and it's descended into a spat, it's time to close the thread.
