    I tried to read that crap so at least it was short. If you're going to read something awful it should at least be concise. So I'll give it that.

    Anybody else see the picture of Marty Nemko on the link and want to punch him in his face? He might be a nice dude, but his face really bothers me, particularly when he's crushing that dog in his arms.

    I don't believe Marty Nemko is a racist. He writes about his opinion on why he believes white males commit mass killings. That doesn't make he a racist. If anything he is trying to help with this major problem.

    He fits the definition of a racist.

    Trying to help? By doing what? What is his solution?

    If you believe this guy so strongly what is your solution?

    My definition is the dictionary definition.

    World English Dictionary
    racism or racialism (ˈreɪsɪzəm, ˈreɪʃəˌlɪzəm)

    — n
    1. the belief that races have distinctive cultural characteristics determined by hereditary factors and that this endows some races with an intrinsic superiority over others
    2. abusive or aggressive behaviour towards members of another race on the basis of such a belief

    I believe this is a better and more concise definition:
    http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/racism

    1: a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race
    2: racial prejudice or discrimination
    There is nothing racist about the author. His reasoning has nothing to do with heredity, nor does it speak to superiority.

    Actually it does. Heredity because he singles out one race and the implication is that other races are inherently superior in that regard.

    It groups all into one. But you can choose your own definition most people have all kinds of definitions including my favorite, "I am a minority and it is racist if I don't agree with it".

    We can agree to disagree on this one. Implication is what you took from it, not what the author said. Furthermore, he wasn't talking about all white boys, or even most white boys.

    But you can choose your own definition most people have all kinds of definitions including my favorite, "I am a minority and it is racist if I don't agree with it".
    Fortunately, I don't know anyone who thinks like this.
