> racism I don't disagree with the assertion, but i also cannot agree, primarily because i am actually confused. I don't see anything he wrote in the post that's racist. Maybe i missed it. Can you please point out which parts of his post are actually racist? > the author's definition of racism Are you talking about "someone who thinks white people are better than black people"? Because if so, you misunderstood him, though understandably so. That quote is not an actual definition of racism. It is a simplified start of an explanation in which he looks at a detailed example. His actual definition is not mentioned. Note the leading phrase there: "Let’s agree"

Recism: a person who believes that a particular race is superior to another. It's been said that to prove and to refute hate speech, like most other bullshit, takes orders of magnitude more effort than to produce it. However, this article makes perfectly clear to me the author's opinions on the matter, which are clearly racist: http://unqualified-reservations.blogspot.ro/2009/07/why-carlyle-matters.html http://unqualified-reservations.blogspot.ro/2009/07/why-carl... And if I may quote: "Not all humans are born the same, of course, and the innate character and intelligence of some is more suited to mastery than slavery. For others, it is more suited to slavery. And others still are badly suited to either. These characteristics can be expected to group differently in human populations of different origins. Thus, Spaniards and Englishmen in the Americas in the 17th and earlier centuries, whose sense of political correctness was negligible, found that Africans tended to make good slaves and Indians did not. This broad pattern of observation is most parsimoniously explained by genetic differences." "A person makes a good slave if he is loyal, patient, and not exceptionally bright or stubborn".

  I did not ask for quotes from elsewhere. You summarized the linked article as racism. Where is racism in it?
