Racism: n 1: a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race.
This is the traditional meaning of racism. To favor one race over another, or to discriminate against a race because of who they are. In today's society, the Left tells us that it is racist to not favor the minorities. Even when the majorities do better, it is called racism to give credit where credit is due, because the credit goes to the majority. But this itself is truly racism, only it is reversed from the traditional form. In the past, the minorities were discriminated against. Now the minorities are favored, and it the majorities are discriminated against, because they are the majority. The meaning of racism is twisted to protect and favor the minorities, even when the minorities did nothing to earn the protection. This protection does more harm than good. If a person does not need to earn a thing, but will merely have it handed to them, they need not work at all, and have really gained nothing
Martin Luther King Jr. had a dream, that his children could one day "live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character." Sadly, this noble dream has not yet been realized. The Left has overcompensated, and still decides who is better, and should not be questioned, by the color of a person's skin
