		<description><![CDATA[Mary Sue, 
 
Ok, let&#039;s get to it. 
Your definition: 
&quot;Racism is and always has been the belief that one race is superior to another. Denying access is part of INSTITUTIONAL Racism.&quot;   
  
My definition: 
Racism by definition and practice is the ABILITY/PROWESS of THE POWER HOLDING MAJORITY GROUP to methodically, INSTITUTIONALLY, and physically hinder, deny, AND oppress other ethnic groups the opportunity and rights based solely on nonfactual PREJUDICE beliefs that fuel and facilitate DISCRIMINATORY practices. 
 
COMPARISON: 
The first portion of your definition parallels the last portion of mine. &quot;....based solely on NONFACTUAL PREJUDICE BELIEFS.&quot; 
 
Your second sentence incorporates the &quot;institutional&quot; aspect (as does mine), but DOES not cover the multidimensional facets.   Institutional racism is a component of the beast driven by exclusionary policies and practices to protect the advantages of the dominant group.  
 
Case in point:  Apartheid in South Africa and the Jim Crow laws of the South. Need I say more? 
 
I find it very interesting that the attempt to belittle trumped the urge to incorporate historical instances to support your claims.  Instead, you chose to exercise a condescending tone.   
 &quot;Particularly since the public at large is unaware of this redefinition unless they wasted their money (or some grant/bursary) on Women&#039;s Studies type courses or just happened to have a crazy English, Math, or History professor that uses his occupation as an unwarranted soapbox.&quot;  Yes, that is a wonderful display of how  arrogance  automatically mounts the throne of accuracy. 
Perhaps if I copy and pasted stats from a Harvard &quot;nutty professor&quot; that would suffice as a credible reference?  Oh, I&#039;m sorry, Harvard was &quot;built  from the proceeds of Antiguan slave labor on wheat plantations, which is reflected today by the three wheat sheaves in the HLS school crest.&quot;  By all means Ms Sue, go for it. No potential bias there. 
 
Fortunately Mary Sue, language and ideology evolve. ok?   Thankfully, the &quot;public at large&quot; continuously alters in depth definitions as history and societal events paint the canvas with strokes of  new information, facts, and experiences. Hence the addition of terms throughout time such as &quot;Systemic Racism, New Racism, Historical Racism , Scientific Racism, Aversive Racism, Racialism, Internalized Racism , (ex: Famous 1954 study with Black girls and dolls),Colorism, Horizontal Racism, etc. Does it end?  
 
Here is the bottom line....You are entitled to your opinion. I&#039;m sure your views and ideology are filled with just enough truth and good will to help you comfortably sleep at night. Congratulations.  For others however, (who have witnessed the trauma, and death, face to face) there is an additional calling to dig deeper.  
Thus, allow me to share just one of many &quot;class&quot; sessions. A mother hears a relentless truck horn as she is preparing dinner.  As she frantically approaches the door to investigate, she also begins to hear whaling. She reluctantly steps on the porch. There lies her son butchered in a sea of crimson on the back of the truck. Next, he is literally kicked from the bed of the truck to the ground.  She falls to her knees as the southern drawl coquettishly gloats, &quot;He fell at work&quot;.     
The &quot;public at large&quot; was not aware of the incident. The grave however exists...... ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Look I know you&#039;ve bought into the Gender Studies claptrap where they singlehandedly redefined the word racism.  It was not a legitimate redefinition.  Racism is and always has been the belief that one race is superior to another.  Denying access is part of Institutional Racism. 
 
You seem like a smart person and I think you should question what you&#039;ve been taught about what &quot;racism&quot; means, because the definition has been hijacked to wrest the advantage in the debate.  Particularly since the public at large is unaware of this redefinition unless they wasted their money (or some grant/bursary) on Womens Studies type courses or just happened to have a crazy English, Math, or History professor that uses his occupation as an unwarranted soapbox.  People can&#039;t talk sense to each other when they&#039;re using different definitions for the same word.  And the public can&#039;t be expected to accept a hijacked definition of a word, sorry. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;objectivefactsmatter&quot; and &quot;jonster&quot;: 
 
To save time allow me to address you both.... 
 
&quot;Therefore &quot;whites&quot; are always guilty and must accept any abusive accusations.Got it&quot;   
 
Hmmm, clearly in your mind upon reading the definition (whether you agree or not)  you immediately associated the description with &quot;white people&quot;. Your words, not mine.  
 
Interestingly enough however (with respect to the slave trade here in America) and the FACT that Reconstruction amendments were a necessary addition to the Constitution, in that case, you would be correct. At that time, the power holding majority group were white males. Once again your argument would have to be with HISTORY. and not with the definition that accurately describes it. Unfortunate, but true.   
 
The article itself referenced &quot;Real Racism&quot; giving examples of what Libyans have done to Africans etc. Our great country and it&#039;s past however was conveniently left out.  I get it. In the plight to remain purely objective, we dare not include our historical tragedies because some of the perpetrators look like us. I inferred that I was a woman, not a minority woman. The idea that objectivity can&#039;t exist beyond color lines in 2012 is incredible. 
 
I&#039;m quite aware of &quot;collectivism&quot; and &quot;conservative&quot; view points and why you worry about &quot;rhetoric&quot;. I tend not to conform to a particular movement of ideology and labels. History shows us that allegiance to being a member begins to outweigh the effort to further the cause. Btw,Worry can cause health hazards so I hope it isn&#039;t excessive :)      
 
Jonster: In reference to the validity of the definition, when you consider the very FACT that Reconstruction amendments HAD to be added to the constitution to include another ethnic group that was suppressed; suffice it to say, HISTORY itself supports the definition. Thinking outside the box, (in lieu of regurgitating dictionary references), documentation of historical systems exhibited over centuries,and the teachings of Dr William R Jones and Dr. N.Akbar support the definition as well.  
 
To your point: &quot;I find that minority groups are often the MOST racist (sometimes).&quot;  
 
I could banter with you and ask what are your scientific findings in the same manner that you attempted to discredit the definition. I will refrain however  because I am aware that you may not understand yet that in order to be &quot;racist&quot;, you also would need to be a part of the group that uses &quot;racism&quot; as a system to deny access. Which by the way, your in depth googling of dictionary definitions support. You absolutely may be correct in YOUR EXPERIENCE that some minorities exhibit prejudice views.  However, according to your rationale of what MAJORITY means, do minorities really have the power to deny access on a large scale? Technically one person could be the majority if they hold the dominating power to determine the outcome for the whole. Hence, the insertion of a checks and balances system within the constitution. 
 
By the way, as with every President, I don&#039;t agree with every policy. I do however respect the office whether it&#039;s President Obama, or George W Bush, and even Clinton. I&#039;m guessing since Obama was somehow tagged at the end of  Jonsters commentary that perhaps an assumption was made. I believe that Bush is the only President who held a Masters Degree and he was considered to be one of the most inarticulate Presidents in history. Case in point: 
 &quot;I know how hard it is for you to put food on your family.&quot; 
 &quot;Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we.&quot; &#8212;Washington, D.C., Aug. 5, 2004  
 &quot;I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully.&quot; &#8212;Saginaw, Mich., Sept. 29, 2000  
 
He was still elected ....well, sort of thanks to Florida. Romney hasn&#039;t denounced Sununu or Mourdock with their sexest and ignorant statements so I&#039;m not sure what qualifications are being used now a days to consider someone &quot;Presidential&quot; :)   
 
Perhaps it boils down to the best actor for the job and who is more persuasive to convince a population to give them the opportunity to undertake the most stressful on the job training program in the world. With millions watching and criticizing. Mistakes are made in every administration. The difference this time is that no one else has ever looked like this one.  
  
In closing, I guess Sununu&#039;s statements in reference to Colin Powell contradicts Judahlevi&#039;s statement that &quot;Republicans view people as individuals, not by skin color.&quot;  That was part of the original point. One can&#039;t speak for many because we all bring different experiences to the table. That&#039;s the beauty of this country. Thankfully I&#039;m a woman who can express that without being shot in the head for it. Not thus far...   
 
 No need to respond ladies and gentleman. I absolutely understand and respect your right to express. If you are on the east coast during the storm, I wish you and your family safe travels. 
 
Peace and Good Will.....

Btw,Worry can cause health hazards so I hope it isn&#039;t excessive :)      
 
Jonster: In reference to the validity of the definition, when you consider the very FACT that Reconstruction amendments HAD to be added to the constitution to include another ethnic group that was suppressed; suffice it to say, HISTORY itself supports the definition. Thinking outside the box, (in lieu of regurgitating dictionary references), documentation of historical systems exhibited over centuries,and the teachings of Dr William R Jones and Dr. N.Akbar support the definition as well.  
 
To your point: &quot;I find that minority groups are often the MOST racist (sometimes).&quot;  
 
I could banter with you and ask what are your scientific findings in the same manner that you attempted to discredit the definition. I will refrain however  because I am aware that you may not understand yet that in order to be &quot;racist&quot;, you also would need to be a part of the group that uses &quot;racism&quot; as a system to deny access. Which by the way, your in depth googling of dictionary definitions support. You absolutely may be correct in YOUR EXPERIENCE that some minorities exhibit prejudice views.  However, according to your rationale of what MAJORITY means, do minorities really have the power to deny access on a large scale? Technically one person could be the majority if they hold the dominating power to determine the outcome for the whole. Hence, the insertion of a checks and balances system within the constitution. 
 
By the way, as with every President, I don&#039;t agree with every policy. I do however respect the office whether it&#039;s President Obama, or George W Bush, and even Clinton. I&#039;m guessing since Obama was somehow tagged at the end of  Jonsters commentary that perhaps an assumption was made. I believe that Bush is the only President who held a Masters Degree and he was considered to be one of the most inarticulate Presidents in history. Case in point: 
 &quot;I know how hard it is for you to put food on your family.&quot; 
 &quot;Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we.&quot; &#8212;Washington, D.C., Aug. 5, 2004  
 &quot;I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully.&quot; &#8212;Saginaw, Mich., Sept. 29, 2000  
 
He was still elected ....well, sort of thanks to Florida. Romney hasn&#039;t denounced Sununu or Mourdock with their sexest and ignorant statements so I&#039;m not sure what qualifications are being used now a days to consider someone &quot;Presidential&quot; :)   
 
Perhaps it boils down to the best actor for the job and who is more persuasive to convince a population to give them the opportunity to undertake the most stressful on the job training program in the world. With millions watching and criticizing. Mistakes are made in every administration. The difference this time is that no one else has ever looked like this one.  
  
In closing, I guess Sununu&#039;s statements in reference to Colin Powell contradicts Judahlevi&#039;s statement that &quot;Republicans view people as individuals, not by skin color.&quot;  That was part of the original point. One can&#039;t speak for many because we all bring different experiences to the table. That&#039;s the beauty of this country. Thankfully I&#039;m a woman who can express that without being shot in the head for it. Not thus far...   
 
 No need to respond ladies and gentleman. I absolutely understand and respect your right to express. If you are on the east coast during the storm, I wish you and your family safe travels. 
 
Peace and Good Will.....

<p>To save time allow me to address you both&#8230;. </p>
<p>&quot;Therefore &quot;whites&quot; are always guilty and must accept any abusive accusations.Got it&quot;   </p>
<p>Hmmm, clearly in your mind upon reading the definition (whether you agree or not)  you immediately associated the description with &quot;white people&quot;. Your words, not mine.  </p>
<p>Interestingly enough however (with respect to the slave trade here in America) and the FACT that Reconstruction amendments were a necessary addition to the Constitution, in that case, you would be correct. At that time, the power holding majority group were white males. Once again your argument would have to be with HISTORY. and not with the definition that accurately describes it. Unfortunate, but true.   </p>
<p>The article itself referenced &quot;Real Racism&quot; giving examples of what Libyans have done to Africans etc. Our great country and it&#039;s past however was conveniently left out.  I get it. In the plight to remain purely objective, we dare not include our historical tragedies because some of the perpetrators look like us. I inferred that I was a woman, not a minority woman. The idea that objectivity can&#039;t exist beyond color lines in 2012 is incredible. </p>

		<description><![CDATA[Where did you get your definition?  Racism by definition and practice is the ability of the power-holding majority group to hinder and oppress other ethnic groups?

Well, the dictionary disagrees with you:

Racism:

1.  a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races  determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one&#039;s own race  is superior and has the right to rule others. 
2. a policy, system of government, etc., based upon or fostering such a doctrine; discrimination. 
3. hatred or intolerance of another race  or other races. 

There is no requirement for a racist to be a &quot;majority group.&quot;  Merely a belief that race determines one achievement - or a policy of hatred or intolerance.  I find that minority groups are often the MOST racist (sometimes).

And really - if Obama were white... would he have ever been President?  Based upon his accomplishments before the 2008 election.... not likely.  A Senator who only voted half the time... a professor whose students hated him... failed lawyer... a community organizer with no leadership experience... and someone who hung around violent people (Holder), slum-lords (Jarrett), rascist anti-American pastors (Wright), and known communists?  On the contrary, he would have been treated very much like David Duke was treated.

And based upon his performance AS president?  Surely not.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lol, possibly that&#039;s how its meant, maybe?  I&#039;m not nitpicking but was the use of that word really coincidental to the topic?  But that brings me to my point.  I hear you guys point of view.  It sucks to be called out as racist.  But the reality is, if you don&#039;t like it, stop playing the game.  It seems like offensive racial stuff is constantly put out there in coded fashion.  But when called on it, folks play the innocent victim game.  Take just a minute to think.  Minorities don&#039;t like pointing out racist talk.  If it were up to them they wouldn&#039;t have to deal with it.  Its not a game.  Its unpleasant for them.  So it becomes unpleasant for the parties spouting it.  So maybe stop blaming minorities for not liking it.  Just stop doing it.  Or do it but fully own it, and stop playing these nudge nudge wink wink games like people don&#039;t know when racial stuff is being put out there.

		<description><![CDATA[Chris Matthews can no longer be saved. He is has gone so far off the deep end, he cannot climb back up, period. He does not  give a damn about Obama&#039;s record, which is hilarious because when Hilary was still a shoe in, he trashed Barry&#039;s lack of a record. I want Obama gone on Nov. 6. He won&#039;t be gone until January, but you get the point. Nobody has played up Obama&#039;s race or half race more than the mainstream media and people like Chris Matthews and Co. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;RACISM BY DEFINITION AND PRACTICE is the ABILITY/PROWESS of THE POWER HOLDING MAJORITY GROUP to methodically, institutionally, and physically hinder, deny, AND oppress other ethnic groups the opportunity and rights based solely on nonfactual prejudice beliefs that fuel and facilitate DISCRIMINATORY practices.&quot; 
 
Therefore &quot;whites&quot; are always guilty and must accept any abusive accusations. Got it. 
 
It&#039;s not very clear where your point is other than mentioning a few random thoughts in your head about racism. How about this, look up collectivism and critiques of socialism. Then you&#039;ll see why conservatives get so worried about this rhetoric that reflects abusive collectivism. Abusive collectivism concerning the race or perceived race of groups (people collectively) is commonly referred to as racism. 
 
Virtually all collectivism leads to abuse. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I find the commentary here fascinating. I&#039;ve spent the last few months during this campaign season watching various news programs from FOX to MSNBC, CNN and even programs such as the Daily Show  to assess how personal beliefs can potentially cloud or skew our ability to remain objective.   
 
Regardless of the programming, &quot;racism&quot; has consistently reared it&#039;s head. At times, this system has been boldly mentioned as with Chris Matthews and Jonathan Alter ; or eluded to in a coyish nature from others like James Lipton and Clarence Page. More often than not however, the opinions and verbiage have matriculated their way into the media and posts such as this VOID of  the necessary, ALL  ENCOMPASSING definition of the PRACTICE. Hence, the &quot;ISM&quot; that serves as the suffix for  &quot;RACISM&quot;, as with multicultural-ISM and popul-ISM. :) 
 
RACISM BY DEFINITION AND PRACTICE is the ABILITY/PROWESS of THE POWER HOLDING MAJORITY GROUP to methodically, institutionally, and physically hinder, deny, AND oppress other ethnic groups the opportunity and rights based solely on nonfactual prejudice beliefs that fuel and facilitate DISCRIMINATORY practices.   
 
I don&#039;t know Chris Matthews personally, every woman, nor every Republican therefore I can&#039;t speak on their behalf. Experience however has taught me that eventually, a persons true nature will be evident in their actions.... even if the actions don&#039;t coincide with their words or the masks they strategically parade in for public view. Rather you are a Democrat ,Republican, Independent, or Undecided :) ; the histories are intertwined in a collective history that is the USA. The good, the bad, the ugly, and the right to choose as a citizen of this great nation. We must own the atrocities as well as the triumphs. 
 
I sincerely hope that the somewhat respectful and transparent dialog continues. :) It is the starting point for healing that this country so desperately needs.  In order to fix it, you must first understand the complexity and true nature of the beast you are attempting to tame.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I find the commentary here fascinating. I&#039;ve spent the last few months during this campaign season watching various news programs from FOX to MSNBC, CNN and even programs such as the Daily Show  to assess how personal beliefs can potentially cloud or skew our ability to remain objective.   </p>
<p>Regardless of the programming, &quot;racism&quot; has consistently reared it&#039;s head. At times, this system has been boldly mentioned as with Chris Matthews and Jonathan Alter ; or eluded to in a coyish nature from others like James Lipton and Clarence Page. More often than not however, the opinions and verbiage have matriculated their way into the media and posts such as this VOID of  the necessary, ALL  ENCOMPASSING definition of the PRACTICE. Hence, the &quot;ISM&quot; that serves as the suffix for  &quot;RACISM&quot;, as with multicultural-ISM and popul-ISM. <img src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" />  </p>
<p>RACISM BY DEFINITION AND PRACTICE is the ABILITY/PROWESS of THE POWER HOLDING MAJORITY GROUP to methodically, institutionally, and physically hinder, deny, AND oppress other ethnic groups the opportunity and rights based solely on nonfactual prejudice beliefs that fuel and facilitate DISCRIMINATORY practices.   </p>
<p>I don&#039;t know Chris Matthews personally, every woman, nor every Republican therefore I can&#039;t speak on their behalf. Experience however has taught me that eventually, a persons true nature will be evident in their actions&#8230;. even if the actions don&#039;t coincide with their words or the masks they strategically parade in for public view. Rather you are a Democrat ,Republican, Independent, or Undecided <img src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" />  ; the histories are intertwined in a collective history that is the USA.
