For me racism is the belief as one race being superior than a different race. Where prejudice is you don’t like some one/thing/idea for any variety of reasons. I think they can overlap but the racist word gets thrown out so idk what to believe anymore
Well stated. I feel like the term “racist” is used far too often. My late father was prejudiced against blacks, but never believed or stated they were somehow inferior to any other race. He was close friends with a couple-worker who’d emigrated from Uganda, and when they’d get a few beers in them I’d hear how American blacks were a lot different than African blacks (i.e. a cultural issue rather than a race issue).
OMG has anyone in your family confronted them?
Same. My uncle is a drunk too, so he just spends all day every day drunk posting on fbook whatever racist and political things he can find in the depths of the internet. I blocked him years ago, but then my aunt and cousins started doing the same shit. I always found it concerning how many folks would like the shit they posted too. I know it's been argued on here before, and I hate to generalize but there's some small towns/counties in Iowa that are incredibly racist.
In that part of the country, it's eggnurnt, not ignorant! Hey...am I being prejudice against hill folk? Are you?
So we’re making excuses for racism? Have you asked your mother in law what her excuse is?
Why don’t you kick his ass, big dog?
