You obviously do not know what the word "Racism" means: Racism: the most common and widely accepted being that members of one race consider themselves intrinsically superior to members of other races. Racism inherently starts with the assumption that there are taxonomic differences between different groups of people. Without this assumption, prejudices against different peoples would be catagorised as being prejudices related to national or regional origin, religion, occupation, social status or some other distinction. Now.....how would Jackson's comments suggest that as a black man he was somehow superior to another black man. Somehow I missed that in Jacksons remarks..." Jackson "There is nothing more painful to me ... than to walk down the street and hear footsteps and start thinking about robbery, then look around and see somebody white and feel relieved." As quoted in US News & World Report (10 March 1996) and The Boston Globe (5 September 2007) Now...Justapose the same fears of Jackson and say that as a white person "because of your racial position blacks are more likely to rob you" because a] their social status and inferior qualities. b] Nothing less can be expected from a particular group of people against another race of people (whites) So let me know when Jessie starts spouting off about "these people are an inferrior race of people" Now there is something called Predjudice...which is what Jackson did. prejudgment: making a decision before becoming aware of the relevant facts of a case or event.
