I hope that your day will be as wonderful as you are!
Let’s venture back to our conversation regarding racism in the US (although racism is most certainly not exclusive to the US). The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines racism as: “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.”
Another definition from the Merriam-Webster dictionary defines superiority as: “the quality or state of being superior”. If we take an even closer look, we will need to define the word “superior”. The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines superior as: “of higher rank, quality, or importance”.
So, could we say for the sake of argument, that racism is “a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent quality or state of being of higher rank, quality, or importance of a particular race”.
So basically, there are people who believe they are inherently superior to other people because they were born of a certain race.
How does what you read above resonate with you?
This is such an important topic that we will continue it in our next conversation.
Well, that’s all for now!
Have an amazing day and know that you are in my thoughts and prayers!
Love,
Dad
