re: Can you be racist but your racism doesn't come from a place of hate?

Could a person really like black people and have no problem with them at all and still be racist if he believes they are inferior to white people?

Using the "inferior" definition of racism, yours truly and few people I know are racist. Frankly, I think that definition is not a good way to describe modern day racism.

I certainly do not consider minorities inferior to majorities. For instance, I think it is pretty obvious that most blacks are physically superior to most whites while any mental perceived superiority by whites can be easily equalized through education.

My racism, if that's what you want to call it, is perception based on reality/experience. When reality changes, so will the perception of so called racists.

It's not unlike the perception of Islam. Obviously not all Muslims are terrorists but most terrorists are in fact Muslims. In like manner, a disproportionate number of crimes are committed by blacks. In both cases, when both factions change the social constructs that perpetuates their disproportionate deviants from society, society's perception will change. Maybe if Obama, Al Sharpton, Jessie Jackson, Reverend Wright and their ilk spent more time calling out their own people and less time depicting blacks as victims blaming white people, we just might see change we can believe in.
