I was told today I can not be a racist because I have no power over people to affect their lives. I know I never felt like a Racist.My Mom was white,father American Indian,black,grandfather American Indian,white. When my kidneys failed and I needed a transplant, a lovely white family lost a Loved one and they donated his Kidney to save my life. We were a 6 point match that's almost imposable from different races people. I have had no rejection from the organ. The transplant reinforced my life long belief that Humans or Humans and the pigmentation of their skin has little to do with who they are inside.
If what I say sounds racist, I'm sorry because I can't be, I would need to hate my whole family. Love Ya!

Wasn't that why JWP said he could hate white people and still not be racist about a decade ago? (It's probably not the craziest thing he's said, but it has to be top 10.)
I think that any definition of racism has to include an assumption of superiority based on race, and I don't think that enters into your decisions. That doesn't mean that race isn't having an undue influence on your decisions, though.
Betty..you got some bad advice. Anybody can be a racist.Racism is an attitude borne out of ignorance.
We have an abundant supply of ignorance in this country,when it comes to race relations.
What University did John Wiley Price Graduate from?
Sorry again Guys,maybe I said to much. I am not a racist because I do not hate White people, brown people or any people regardless of religion or sexual orientation or race. I do however dislike people of all races based on their action.
You see I never fail to hire a person because they were white or brown, but many times in my early days after college ,I was not hired for Social Work jobs because of my race. So maybe I don't have a good definitions of the word.I do know some people hate President Obama because of his skin and religion. The ones who think he's Muslim. So I am going to put this Racism thing to rest and just pray for every one.
