What is racism?

Governor Edward G Rendell has stirred yet another issue on the race row. I think we should first ask what is racism, once we answer this question we need to ask if any comments about how people will vote in the US Elections reflect racism or not.


One definition states that Racism is prejudice or discrimination based on the belief that race is the primary factor determining human traits and abilities. Racism includes the belief that genetic or inherited differences produce the inherent superiority or inferiority of one race over another. ...

Based on that alone, I believe that the Governors statement was nothing less than racial, yes it was. Will this race issue go away now? I am thinking not, as long as Senator Obama remains black (which can never change) this issue is in for the long haul.

We can be grown up about this issue and avoid it, work together and be one or we can toss the issue out there like Governor Rendell did and make it larger than life. Yes Senator Obama is black, so what, is he not an American? It is time to grow up, lets address the issue of voting with the boundary of what race the nominee is.

During a CNN report, a guy came out I believe in Ohio and said that he cannot see how Senator Obama relates to him and he cannot see him being the guy that can have a drink with him that is why he supports Hillary Clinton, what a load of sweet talk. That was truly amazing rubbish, credit to him he picked a reason, bad it was one word short not calculated.
