Did the black panthers have any political power? Did they create laws? Did they enforce laws? Were they prejudiced and bigoted? Some definitely were. Did they any power to subjugate those underneath them? No

It is the sociologically correct definition. When racism meant bigotry, it was a meaningless word and it gave those in power who were racist a free pass.

Hell, one can be a racist and actually have no ill-will to the other race.

Let's humor this ridiculous definition for a second.
What "power" does the every day racist citizen hold? This is of course assuming said citizen does not hold any designated power due to their employment.

the black panthers showed up to the voting polling station illegally to intimidate white people from voting.
Voting leads to politicians that leads to laws.
You trying to spin this is enjoyable to watch.And the DOJ did nothing to them for their actions.

Let me make this simple:
I love my dog and see him as equal: not racist or bigot
I love my dog but I am his master and he is beneath me as a being: racist and not a bigot
I hate my dog and want no part of him and he is beneath me as a being: racist and a bigot
Dog: I love my human and see him as an equal: not racist or bigot
I love my human but he is beneath me: racist but not bigot
I hate my human and want to part of him and he is beneath me: racist and a bigot
One party has power and one party doesnt. It changes nothing

Those are actions that effect everyone not just those of a particular race. So by your reasoning the president's healthcare law was made to disproportionately effect white people? No because my healthcare also went up as well and guess what genius, I'm black

Sooooo....... Leftists unilaterally decided to change the meaning of the term Racism. Nice. I wonder why people laugh at the leftist intelligentsia.

Most citizens, individually, don't have the power. But, collectively, they can wield a lot of power. Jim Crow was group racism in action. So, "power" does not always mean individual power.
Racists often want to be concealed or protected through a group of like minded individuals.
Hence, the KKK.

Fair point but the statement that certain races have superior traits over another while a racist statement is in fact true.

But it's not the official definition, just because a bunch of sociology majors claim it to be the actual one doesn't mean a thing. How about you use the actual definition and not something used by the SJWs

What?????????????? Wow. Jim Crow wasn't an exercise of power? I would say that laws that kept blacks segregated on buses, airports, train stations, hotels, etc. was clearly an exercise of subjugatory power.

Wow what a horse shite retort to my simple question.
So in order to use your definition of racist, you have to blanket an entire race as racist because of the actions of "powerless" individuals who are "not racist".
