RACISM



Its time for a new focus. So today/tonight, I shall talk about racism.

When most people hear the word racist, they immediately think of the black Americans, the Asians, or whatever race is native to their country. Many people believe racism is one sided, that it is always the white people doing the others wrong. And a lot of the time, it is. The whites in America keeping the Negroes as slaves, and trying to get rid of all the Indians. The British trying to wipe out the Australian Aborigine's. The Mongols, under Genghis Khans rule, tried to take over China, Russia, Persia and more.

And of course, and the world is just so completely and utterly fair, the mistreated races have been given more money and help then anyone else. I mean, is it really fair for aborigine's, or people 1/32 Australian Aborigine, to get extra welfare and benefits for something that happened decades ago? Sure, our ancestors made a mistake. But why should we keep having to pay the price for it here, now? I mean, not all of them are poor. I know some white people who earn less and are worse off, and they don't get the same benefits.

And of course, there is always soooo many people complaing about how Hitler was very racist to the Jewish people.
Now, may I ask you a question? Racism is defined as

1.
The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others.
2. Discrimination or prejudice based on race.


While to be Jewish is
1. Of or relating to the Jews or their culture or religion

So, if that is the case, how can being cruel to the Jews be racist? Being Jewish is a religion, not a race. They need to invent a new word. Like Religist. Or Denominist. If you can think of a better word, please tell me.

(This blog is in no way meant to be racist towards any race OR religion. I am simply stating my view as I see fit. Please feel free to comment)

Until next time. . .
