There is a difference between racism and discrimination, black people do not have the power to be racist. We have never had the power over white people to hold them stagnant, not improve their lives, or boss them around. Sowell only tells half truths to continue to appease his white conservative base for almost 40 years by having the mantra "Hey, look at me white people I am better than these other n--gas!"

I've worked with hundreds of people and whether they want to admit it or not they are racist, I see it every day, it's human nature, it's got nothing to do with justification.

Point taken.

So what would be the correct word to describe a black person who has distain for a white person because they are white?

If you were to say prejudice was human nature, I would agree, but racism.. no. Not everyone believes one race is superior to another. Maybe you just don't know the difference.

I have worked with hundreds also, and I see it everyday, most are not racist. Racism is not human nature, it is learned by many factors.

It is not "human nature". It is not something people are born with. It is not "human nature" to hate another race.

Sorry but black people do have the power to believe one race is superior to another.

and I see everyday you are wrong. Just because you claim it to be true does not make it as such. It must be a sad world for you to believe you are superior to others because of the color of skin
