Get the politically correct racism mug.Related Words
It's really very simple.
Racism is when you believe that you're inherently objectively superior to one person or a group due to genetics (there other things but this is why you're here).
Prejudice is having a certain expectation of an individual based on subjective factors.
Our severely weak society has gone to great lengths to ensure that these two ideas, while wholly separate, become one in the same, allowing the weak of our society to manipulate power and wealth from others.
The trick is very deft and would be beautiful if it wasn't so evil.

Racism vs Prejudice
Racist:
Hateful guy: "There's a black guy! Man, I hate niggers for their wide noses and penises. They should all die or be put in servitude because they're black."
Prejudice:
*Black guy walking down the street at 2 a.m. in Brownsville, Brooklyn.*
*Spies two black guys wearing extremely loose clothing and an undignified walk pacing towards him.*
"Hmmm, I'm going to cross the street now."
These two scenarios are not the same.
One displays the content of his character and his feelings towards a group as a whole.
The other does neither.
Learn to tell the difference between the two. After doing this and understanding the central and honestly quite obvious differences, listen carefully to hear when someone confuses the two (it won't take long), their ulterior motives are now obvious within this new frame of mind.
You have now acquired the ability to identify charlatans at will.
Use this ability for the good of mankind, it is needed desperately.

Get the Anti-Racism Counterculture mug.The kind of racism that Intersectional Feminists espouse while insisting it’s not racism.
These people give themselves a supposed out by saying that shitting on another person simply because of their color or another arbitrary feature (such as being male, old, etc.) is okay as long as they are a member of a majority group and therefore hold “social power”. Because of that, the Intersectionalist thinks they can act with impunity from their prejudice because they have less “power” than the person they’re being racist against. Figure that one out.

Woman: I’m so proud. My grandfather is receiving the keys to the city in recognition of his helping the homeless here for over 30 years.
Intersectional womxn: Yeah, he’s helped a bunch of white people who are street trash, more like.
Woman: Jeez. I mean, this is a majority white city, so I suppose many are white, but he helps anyone who comes to him regardless of race.
Intersectional womxn: Fuck him. He’s a cisgendered old white male. His “good deeds” aren’t worth shit. I gave a black trans womxn a hug the other day, which makes me better than your grandfather.
Woman: Wow. That sounds like some intersectional racism type bullshit.

"The emerging school of sociologists also is responding to intellectuals such as Stephen and Abigail Thernstrom (America in Black and White: One Nation Indivisible, 1997), and Shelby Steele (A Dream Deferred, 1999), who assert that discrimination is old news. Consisting mostly, but not entirely, of conservatives, this group says the country needs to transcend race by acknowledging the progress made over the past several decades. Race-conscious policies, they argue, only stir up resentment among whites while also promoting a lack of ambition among people of color by holding them to a lower standard.
As support for their claims, they point to the genetic evidence provided by the Human Genome Project that race has no biological foundation as a way to categorize people. They also cite a 1998 statement by the American Anthropological Association that explains "race" as a classification system invented in the 18th century to justify status differences between European settlers and conquered and enslaved peoples, then expanded to support efforts such as the Nazi extermination of Jews.
In August 2002, the American Sociological Association took a stand against such attempts to abolish "race" as untrue and irrelevant. In a statement, the professional society urged social scientists not to ignore race classifications or stop using them as a research tool, even though they may be biological fiction. "Those who favor ignoring race as an explicit administrative matter, in the hope that it will cease to exist as a social concept, ignore the weight of a vast body of sociological research that shows that racial hierarchies are embedded in the routine practices of social groups and institutions," the society wrote."

this sums up basically what colorblind racism means "Most whites don't see white as a race. Like a fish in water, they don't think about whiteness because it's so beneficial to them."
