Genomism 

Share definition Flag
A policy of discrimination towards a individual or group due to the presence of markers within their genetic code.

(Future-Slang)
The doctrine or system under which a individual(s) identifiable genetic markers makes them open for discrimination. Under Genomism, a person can be accessed and determined fit or unfit for a occupation, activity or even inclusion within the society itself, all without consideration of personal achievements, ability or demeanor.

This can extend to imprisoning a person in which no crime had (yet) been committed but which a person has a genetic makeup indicating a likelihood of crime.

To (il)legally discriminate due to a DNA analysis.
"I didn't get the job because they sampled my DNA and determined that I had a 37% likelihood of reduced proficiency..."

See film: GATTACA (1997)

Genocism 

Share definition Flag
Selective attention to some cases of genocide, and conversely the discounting of others. Particularly with reference to modern America's willful blindness toward past atrocities perpetrated against minority populations (e.g. blacks, indians, etc.), and the residual effects with which members of such populations continue to struggle. Coined by Kendrick Lamar.
"The plot is bigger than me, its generational hatred.
It's genocism, it's grimy, little justification.
I'm African-American, I'm African
I'm black as the heart of a fucking Aryan
I'm black as the name of Tyrone and Darius

Excuse my french, but fuck you - no fuck y'all
That's as blunt as it gets. I know you hate me, don't you?
You hate my people, I can tell causes it's threats when I see you

I can tell cause your ways deceitful

Know I can tell because your in love with that desert eagle

Thinkin' maliciously, he get a chain then you gon bleed him"
- Kendrick Lamar, Blacker the Berry

Striver 

Share definition Flag
The striver is an interesting phenomenon that is seen across college campuses. In essence, the striver is an over-achiever who comes from a working or middle class family. He may be an immigrant. He may have been a slacker in HS who was "born again" into an academic wunderkind. Or he may just be an over-achiever who is keeping at it.

The striver is willing to sacrifice his social life at the expense of Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude. The striver is the guy who stays at the library long after you are gone. The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure. The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.

The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics. The striver seeks to find the American Dream through academic success.
Anthony was a striver. He transfered from a TTT to an IVY and graduated in 2 years. He studied his ass off and went to Penn Law. He got a Biglaw offer. But lost it all because of an unmoderated mesasgeboard.

Successful strivers:
- Barack Obama
- Harold Koh
