and I like Sam and find more in common with Sam than many on here.

There were others who chimed in, as to agree with him.
I'll have to find the thread, but I don't remember what it was entitled.

Are you serious with this statement?
Passive racism or active, aggressive, conscious racism, it's all racism.
Many prejudices were passed on and/or formed in racism.

When looking at the book definitions of the words ChTatum used, I agreed with the point he was making.
TODAY, in AMERICA, there are many PREJUDICED PEOPLE, but not so many true RACISTS.

Racism, prejudice etc are words that are so overused and so over applied that they are working themselves out of any real relevance.

My initial response was similar to Jeffrey's.
Then I went and loooked up the words and saw your point.
Jeffrey's statement, "Many prejudices were passed on and/or formed in racism," is also true.
However, I stand by my assertion, not too many true racists left in America.
There is A LOT of racial prejudice, but even that is getting better-- from all spectrums, according to the national stats and how I feel about the state of this union.
