[QUOTE="childeye 2, post: 75100593, member: 412375"] Thank you for the response. I'm just trying to point out that asking only white people what they think, is racist in it's premise. Not that you are deliberately racist for articulating it as such. Therefore the problem is with the term "racism/racist" when it is conflated with "race" in our psycho-linguistics. Please note choice number three: [I]The fault of everyone regardless of race. We are all racist sometimes. [/I]That's conflating the two terms in the mind of the reader. You're probably meaning we all suffer the same blindness or even maybe we all look out for our people, but nonetheless it remains postured in the negative for all, in that we're all racists so we're all even. But this effectually only validates racism as [U]not imaginary,[/U] meaning there's actual reason to fear the other. Allow me to point out that racism is a negative phenomenon that [U]is imaginary[/U] in the sense that it is formed through a negative prejudice manifesting from two subjective views of us and them. If you ask white people what they think about their role in perpetuating a "negative prejudice" based on race, the reader gets a different picture then when you say "racism ". One that will most likely be unanimous in concluding that a negative prejudice is obviously irrational, regardless of race. You can't ask peoples opinions on a subject using unstable terms and expect to get clear answers. [/QUOTE]
