This may go over your head or you may catch it but being bigoted and racist aren't the same thing. Being bigoted is HATING a group of ppl solely b/c they're different from your own. Racism is a system to ensure that you stay the ruling class. There are plenty of white republicans who have black friends, but ask them how they feel about the conditions or state of the community, or even mention the accomplishments of black ppl throughout history and watch they whole shyt switch up.
Also for @
CDoty, "ism" implies a practice or an act, not a belief:
-ism
noun suffix .
: the act, practice, or process of doing something
: behavior like that of a specified kind of person or thing
: unfair treatment of a group of people who have a particular quality
Therefore, racism is not just thinking blacks are inferior, it's implimenting systems to make that a reality
