Even then fam. I don't think there is a single "apocalyptic" event, that would cause racism to be completely annihilated.
or hell any other ism for that matter including Classism or Sexism.

Prejudice and racist are so similar in my opinion I don't even think they should be separate words
but yeah, i hear what ur saying
Prejudice is more of the mindset that can manifest itself in an individuals actions. Racism is structural. To me, it's a system that discriminates based upon skin/ethnicity/heritage that clearly benefits the party who imposes/created it.

I might prejudge someone, doesnt mean for negative. I might see 2 groups of blacks and asians, and when asked which group I think can play football, I pick the black group, doesnt mean Im racist. Its just a prejudice. racism is hatred, prejudice is not.

Exactly. Its easy to love everyone when everything is all good, but as soon as you get into a heated issue with a person the first things that come to mind are what is different between me and him/her. Even if ts a another black dude thats just darker or lighter than you. Now acting on those passing thoughts are another thing. Your common sense and humanity should kick in at some point

That's not exactly prejudice breh. that's more a long the lines of stereotyping.

sorry but no. I got into a heated debate with an asian dude a few days ago and the last thing on my mind was his race, what bothered me was HIM. I wasnt thinking about 2 billion people.
I dunno man if thats how you think, you might be a racist breh.
prejudice:
preconceived opinion that is not based on reason or actual experience.
racist:
a person who believes that a particular race is superior to another.
I dont think one race is better than the other. even if assuming one race is better at football or sport, Im not thinking that race is superior to the other race. im just assuming that the race plays football because on tv I see majority are black. Just like I would assume the asian group, if asked which one does kung fu, Ill assume is the asian group.
Im prejudging but Im not assuming as a whole one group is better than the other. For example Im almost certain 95% of this site, sucks at football and basketball. And the majority of yall are black.

bumping because I think this thread is low key one of the most important threads on this forum and deserves more than 2 replies
We as human beings don't like holding a mirror to ourselves and prefer to judge others though
Black, White, Asian, Purple, Green, male, female, skinny, fat, poor, rich, ugly, beautiful, gay, straight, christian, muslim, atheist, young, old......etc
We make fun of Jordan for wearing garbage ass jeans but don't want cacs to judge us on our skin tone, maybe he likes those jeans brehs. Don't be so judgmental
Judge a man by the content of his character and not by the jeans he wears
PC master race (a racist term in of itself) judging console heads over some superficial shyt
PS4 heads judging Xbox heads over some trivial non important shyt
I'm better than you because I make X amount of money, f*ck X amount of b1tches or have x amount of education.
small judgmental mind states like that are basically the seeds that cause division and eventually blossoms into racism and hatred
It's all just one hop and a skip away from my ethnicity is better than yours because of a,c,b.....

So in your experiences Asians have been better than Blacks at basketball?
I'm sure you watch the NBA as well as other sports in general. That's stereotyping. not prejudice. There is a REASON you think those things. it's not a preconceived notion.

there might be a reason I assume the black guys are better at football but that doesnt mean the asian group isnt the shanghai dragons and the group of blacks are just african students. Im preconceiving them based off of stereotype.
neither of these have anything to do with racism, feeling one group is superior as a whole to the others. a white supremacist for example feels whites are superior as a whole race. I dont feel superior to anybody because of my race, Jeremy Lin would dunk on my weak ass, and John Lynch would break my spine.
