Is 4chan racist? I don’t think so. Are there people on 4chan that you would consider racist? Yes. Are there people on FR who you would consider racist? Probably. Does that make FR racist? I don’t think so.

Then again, much depends on who gets to define racism. For some, it is racist to point out that, by FBI statistics, blacks commit about 50% of all homicides and armed robberies.

What do you consider racist?

Take it a little further. If we accept that "racism" actually exists, the next question is "is it truly wrong (immoral)?" If, for example, racism is defined as believing that different races have different qualities and characteristics (and then, of course, acting on that belief, such as believing that American blacks are more likely to commit crime so you watch them more carefully when they're around you), then why would that be wrong? If you harbored such hatred against a particular race that you were murdering them, that would be wrong, but it would be wrong because it is murder, not because it is racism.

The problem we have today is that the leftwing cultural marxist types have managed to convince everyone that being reluctant to rent your house to a race known for trashing houses, or clutching your purse a little tighter and crossing the street when encountering members of a certain race at night is exactly the same as rounding up members of a particular race and massacring them in death camps. For that matter, they've gone as far as managing to convince some people that putting members of a certain race in jail for crimes they commit, or even accusing them of a crime they've committed against you, is racism equal to death camps.

In any case, white people are the only people, under the current system, who are not allowed to have pride in their race, nor take steps to protect and support their own race. No other race is accused of "racism" for doing these things. That should tell you what the true purpose of the concept of "racism" is.
