Re: Trayvon Martin


Um, by definition, a black cop profiling a black suspect cannot be racist.

Racism means believing that one race is superior to another. It's impossible for a black person to believe that his own race (black) is superior to blacks. That is logically impossible. The only way it can make sense is to take the stance that the black cop thinks that whites are superior to blacks, despite himself being black. That's most likely not going to be the case. Thus my point many pages ago that the word "racist" has lost it's meaning. Nobody really understands what it means now and throws it around like a battle cry. And yeah profiling does not equal racism.
